Thank god Releford stayed. Woot. That kid is going to be a baller. Bodes pretty well as far as the remaining recruiting goes.

That would be most excellent.

Reerun_KC · 04-09-2009, 03:27 PM

And that this was a possiblity that 2 people would transfer out to make room....

How's about this for a bit of news:

Derby Festival practice

A few early notes from the Kentucky Derby Festival practice:

Swarmed by media, Daniel Orton said he's still planning on attending Kentucky. He has talked to coach John Calipari and said the coach was "real interested in me." He went on to say "in my heart I still feel like I want to go to Kentucky. I like Kentucky. But we just have to open our options. Right now, if anything it's Kansas and Kentucky." When asked if open back up means is he open to being recruited by other schools he said, "I'm signed with Kentucky so mainly right now I'm still with Kentucky."

probably CJ and X.

unless Morningstar goes through with becoming a walk-on, which would make room for Lance.

Definitely a good sign.

KC_Connection · 04-09-2009, 03:38 PM

Somebody posted a few days ago that big things were going to happen today, and that probably Henry would confirm.

Why would we give CJ a scholarship? Isn't his tuition being paid by the Yankees?

BWillie · 04-09-2009, 03:42 PM

Surprised about Appleton, not surprised about QT. That is a good decision for both of them, just too much talent in front of them. Appleton could of played big minutes on 75% of other big 12 teams. Maybe this is why Stephenson was waiting? I expect a commitment soon. X/CJ or Lance. I do not think Lance and X would come, it wouldn't make any sense. I wouldn't want both of them, I really don't. They would be vying for the same minutes and may create some chemistry problems, but if anybody could handle it it would be my main man HCBS

CJ definitely won't get a scholarship. There is no reason, the Yankees pay his tuition.

I didn't know Appleton was a Jr this past year. Was he a Juco transfer?

This really seems to open up the spots for Henry and Stephenson. That would be really weird because they play the same position, but you can't have enough talent I guess.

Could this lineup really be a possibility?

PG Collins
SG Henry
SF Stephenson
PF Morris
C Aldrich

holy shiat

**doomy3** · 04-09-2009, 03:45 PM

This is outstanding news, BTW.

FWIW, though, we were already one scholarship too many with the current recruits, so there is still a good chance we only get one of the guys we are recruiting unless there is someone else leaving/going pro/giving up a scholarship
