Not so fast!?!

Kentucky INK just reported that they just got done talking to Orton's father (Larry) and he said that Orton asking for a release from his LOI is "not true."

Orton asks for release

Daniel Orton has asked to be released from his LOI, and will start recruiting process all over after leaning that Cousins committed to UK. He will still consider Kentucky though, but there will be lots of people going after him.

Cousins is a CAT!!!!

Demarcus Cousins is officaially a WILDCAT. ESPN's Chris Lawlor reported that Demarcus's coach told Chris Lawlor that Cousins had told him late last night.

No.15 Ole MIss gets the Sweep Of No.20 Kentucky

The University of Kentucky baseball team had tough couple of days with the Rebles of Ole Miss; as they got the sweep over the UK Wildcats.

Question is will Patterson follow Meeks?

Only time will tell if Patrick Patterson will make the same decision that Jodie did. I'd say just stay another year, but that's me... and after UNC's win last night is only four games behind the University of Kentucky's all time win total (UK-1988 UNC-1984) and the race to 2000 wins will be determined next year but you will make it there first?

Good Luck Jodie!!!!!

Good luck Jodie, everybody at Kentucky has enjoyed your every minute in a wildcat jersey. You'll succeed any where you go.
If you do decide the time isn't right then all wildcats fans will welcome you back.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Meeks will go to the NBA

Yahoo sports has said that Jodie will enter the draft, but without an agent which would allow him to come back for his senior year if he is not satisfied with his draft status.

Championship Game... Who will win?

Michigan St. vs. North Carolina

It all starts very soon

Hmmmmm... Xavier???

Now that Pastner is Headed to Memphis and Miller is headed to Arizona, there is a school that is looking for a coach and a coach looking for a school. Could Xavier players be tough enough for Gillispie? After what has been said about Gillispie being at Kentucky, dose Xavier want Gillispie as their coach? There is not that many good coach's out there and certainly Gillispie is the best coach without a job. He has a proven track record of winning and turning around programs, I'm not saying Xavier needs turning around but it would be the best hire.

Memphis gets Pastner

Memphis will take their chances with Pastner.
Andy Katz of ESPN has reported that Josh Pastner has been hired as Memphis's new head after John Calipari left for Kentucky. Pastner was the leading recruiter for Lute Olson and after Olson retired Pastner left to work under Calipari. There will be a press conference at 1:00 pm tomorrow and when that video becomes available I will post it along with Sean Miller's press conference as well

Xavier's Miller off to Arizona

Sean Miller says goodbye to Xavier after 5 years of being their head coach. He had a 120-47 record at Xavier which is good for a 72%winning percentage.He takes the Arizona job just after turning down Arizona's offer just 1 day before. He will be their 17th basketball head coach.

When the video of his press conference is available i will post it

Lose-Lose Situation

Why a lose-lose situation? Well if Michigan St. wins a lot of people will be saying "See I told you we should have gotten him." If UNC wins then that means they move closer to our overall Win and Tournament wins record, and plus we all hate them

Gillispie to Memphis???

A Memphis paper has said that Billy Clyde Gillespie has shown interest in the newly vacated coaching job at Memphis. WOW what a story that would be. We will wait and see what happens....... or whatever.

Lattest on Wall

John Meyer from rivals.com has reportedly said that John Wall is leaning towards Duke, because of his mothers health issues. No matter where Mr. Wall decides to go I hope him the best and the best to his mother. I also hope that he choses Kentucky

The Wall Rundown

Lets go over Mr. Walls options… Baylor: alright ya maybe they need a point guard but not much TV time(exposure) and no dribble drive
UNC: they’ve already got a point guard and Lawson could stay for senior year and no dribble drive but gets TV time Duke: Duke SUCKS!!! Kentucky: Calipari is very well liked, he’ll get plenty of TV time, dribble drive, automatically will start and play an average of over 35 min per game, will probaly go deep into the Ncaa tournament
The choice is obvious Mr. Wall, so please make the right decision!!!

News of Cousins

Demarcus Cousins's list of schools

N.C St.: Medium
