-Jasper is almost officially gone.
There will be greater details later this
week, or when someone like Matt who
knows what’s going on posts.
However, the suggestion and hope in
the hearts and minds of the more
optimistic Cat fans has been dashed.
Hey, still, almost!!
-Patterson will have one of those
annoying, clunky boots for the next 4-6
weeks. Apparently, he’s healing
quicker than anticipated, which is good.
-Meeks is also doing well. Is it exciting
to anyone else, through all the
recruiting hoopla, that we will have a
healthy Patterson and Meeks next
year?
-Gillispie recruits young players. Blah.

Earlier this year, UK coach Billy Gillispie said
freshman big man Morakinyo Williams likely
would be transferring to another school. Now it
seems apparant that Williams is on his way out.
Williams has said goodbye to teammates. The
news could become official on Saturday, when
Gillispie will conduct a morning news
conference at Memorial Coliseum.
If Williams has been granted his release, he
would be free to speak with other schools
about the possiblity of transferring.
Williams played in five games with the Wildcats,
scoring four points and grabbing five rebounds.

Kentucky's Gillispie reeling in young prospects
On Tuesday, word came that a top contender for Kentucky's Mr.
Basketball in 2009 will also don the blue and white upon graduation.
Madisonville's Jon Hood, highly rated nationally as a 6-6 shooting
guard, said he will join 5-9 point guard G.J. Vilarino of McKinney, Texas,
as members of next year's recruiting class.
Looking into the future, Gillispie also has secured commitments from
three members of the class of 2010. The most touted player is 6-9
Dominique Ferguson from Lawrence North in Indianapolis. He is
reportedly one of the top 10 prospects in the nation among players who
will be entering their junior year of high school in the fall. Dakotah
Euton, a 6-8 forward, who is headed for Scott County after playing at
Rose Hill Christian in Ashland, announced his intentions about a year
ago. Another early commitment headed for UK is 6-1 point guard K.C.
Miller from God's Academy in Dallas, Texas.
A few days ago, 6-8 Vinny Zollo of Greenfield, Ohio, who is just
wrapping up his freshman year at McClain High School, jumped on the
Gillispie bandwagon. Rumors are already flying that Zollo is shopping for
a new high school to attend before becoming a Wildcat. One school
being mentioned as a possible destination is Scott County, which has
already brought in transfers Euton and 6-3 Chad Jackson, another
outstanding player from Rose Hill.
What does all this mean?
Well, it means only that Gillispie is taking an active role in attempting to
rebuild the UK program, and he is not wasting any time.

The class of 2008 includes reigning Mr.
Basketball Darius Miller of Mason
County, 6-6 guard DeAndre Liggins of
Chicago by way of Findlay Prep in
Henderson, Nev., and a pair of junior
college signees, 6-6 Kevin Galloway
from Southern Idaho Junior College and
6-9, 260-pound Josh Harrellson, who
attended Southwestern Illinois Junior
College. Galloway originally committed
to Southern Cal while attending
Sacramento (Calif.) High School and will
have two seasons of eligibility at
Kentucky. Harrellson played only one
year in junior college, so he will enter
UK as a sophomore in the fall.

Expect those
