6'5" SG, rated 45th overall and 12th at his position by Rivals.

Wonder if Clyde will get involved? Though not a PG, this may be a viable back-up to the Lucas/Patterson combo which is looking more and more unlikely in my sometimes-natural-but-still-rare pessimistic view.

(Bad word choice. The 45th ranked player in the country should not be considered a "back-up", now that I think about it.)

Michigan released him and now Michigan is in the running to get him...back?

[BigBlue75]

He probably meant Michigan State.

Being released by a school and welcoming the new coach of that school to be involved in his recruitment does not seem odd to me, but it is now being reported by one source that UK is one of four teams with a shot at this kid.

I think next year's class will need a SG, not sure its a priority in this class. But, talented ball players are talented ballplayers. Meeks and this kid probably can play both the WF and the 2G.

Yeah, FOX Sports listed UK as one of the four schools this kid is interested in. The others being Kansas, UCONN, and UCLA. The article is here:

Michigan isn't one of the schools listed as a possibility.

Sounds like a good player. I say Billy G., go get him.

Love to have him. Seems unlikely though, given the number of players we already have above him, and the heavyweights we're up against.
