Recruiting 101: C.J. Leslie

This week will bring a little something new to the Kentucky Wildcats Examiner.

Along with news, updates, and headlines that come with the day, I will take an in depth look at some of the current basketball recruiting prospects that UK head coach John Calipari and staff are chasing.

The 2010 class has a ton of superb athletes and UK fans seem to want them all. While we all wish that could happen, Calipari is working on getting some of the nation’s top talent to sign with the Wildcats. With recent speculation, I’ll begin with a player that many UK fans have been clamoring for since they first got wind of his interest. So without further ado, here is your first installment of “Recruiting 101.”

The first installment of “Recruiting 101” will focus on 2010 power forward C.J. Leslie. Hailing from North Carolina, Leslie suited up with former teammate and current UK point guard John Wall and has shown a high interest in playing college basketball for the Cats.



Leslie is an interesting prospect for the Cats, as he is looking to make two recruiting visits in the month of October. The Cats interest with Leslie is mutual and the fact that he and John Wall were both teammates in high school bodes well for Kentucky. UK and North Carolina seem to be in the lead for his services according to Rivals.com. I think it may be premature, but some say Leslie reminds them of future NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett.

Good, with UNC off the board that only makes it easier for us to land this kid. He's a stud, I would LOVE to land him

Leslie has had Uk and UNC as the only schools with a High rating in recruiting for a while on rivals.com. How did it come out that UNC had stopped recruiting him? this is indeed excellent news

Ryan Harrow, a point guard who just signed with NC State, said Leslie will go there to play by his side. I quote CJ, "This is definitely a plus", when asked about the signing.

Saying "this" instead of "that" worries me... That comment sounds just like what most guys would say when they are welcoming a new player onto the team.

I hope I'm reading into his comment too much :icon_confused:

In a day and age where most people absolutely BUTCHER the English language...I wouldn't put too much stock into "this" versus "that"....

I have never predicted a recruits path but I am saying here and now Leslie will be attending UK. This is where I start my track record.

Lexington trip a hit with prized recruit C.J. Leslie

By Jody Demlingjdemling@courier-journal.com • January 11, 2010


LEXINGTON, Ky. — As one of the nation's most-sought high school basketball seniors, C.J. Leslie has been on visits to colleges around the country.

But the 6-foot-8 forward from Raleigh (N.C.) Word of God, a top-15-ranked prospect, admitted last weekend's visit to the University of Kentucky was a bit different.


“I'm definitely feelin' Kentucky,” Leslie said. “You have some of the greatest fans around here. I feel the love.”
