Dominique Ferguson commits to Kentucky

by Thomas Beisner @ 9:01 pm. Filed under Blue Blooded Opinions

According to Evan Daniels at Scout.com, Dominique Ferguson, a 6′9″ power forward from Indianapolis has commited to the Cats. Ferguson, a ranked as the 8th best player in the class of 2010, had drawn the interest of Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Purdue and Wake Forest. Ferguson, according to Daniels, had taken an unofficial visit to Kentucky and was drawn to their style of play and the “family atmosphere”. He comes to the Kentucky from the storied Lawrence North program that produced Greg Oden and Mike Conley, as well as the late John Stewart, a Kentucky signee.
Ferguson, who has a 7′5″ wingspan and has a strong inside-outside game, joins Dakota Euton and K.C. Ross-Miller in Kentucky’s 2010 class.

Alright Coach....that's What I'm Talking About!!!!

What a day! With all the bad news lately it sure feels good to get two commits in one day. Throw us in as the leader for Hood and you've got yourself clear blue skies in the Big Blue Nation.

I *REALLY* (can't emphasize that enough) like what Coach is doing. The two future (and third POTENTIAL) recruits for '09 and '10 being talked about today all have size:

Euton - 6'-8" (and growing)
Ferguson - 6'-9"
*Hood - 6'-7" (and growing)

AND a perimeter game!!! We might have big guys draining threes.

From what I'm hearing...Euton may grow to be 6'9" or 6'10"!

Just imagine....a 6'7" SG....6'9" SF....and possibly 6'8" to 6'10" PF in a few years...all on the court together! Able to go inside and shoot outside!?!?!

Yep....Kentucky basketball is definitely looking up....

This is Dominique Ferguson

Here's a photo I took about 10 days ago of Dominique Ferguson at the Pittsburgh JamFest. He plays for the Indiana Elite LNO team, along with Eric Gordon's brother - Evan.

The 6-foot-9, 200-pound Ferguson goes to Indianapolis Lawrence North.

He's a member of the Class of 2010 and is ranked No. 8 by Scout.com.

Oh, and he told me he has a 7-5 wingspan!

Dominique Ferguson to KentuckyReply By Big A | April 29, 2008


I just spoke with Lawrence North 2010 forward Dominique Ferguson and he confirmed that he committed to Kentucky about an hour ago. Ferguson is one of the top 10 players in the 2010 class and visited Indiana last fall several times when Kelvin Sampson was still running the show. This is a huge get for UK as Ferguson is one of the most versatile players in the 2010 class and should be a five-star prospect when Rivals and Scout release their rankings after the spring evaluation period.

No, he eliminated us last year. The players, IMO, that we need to be after is Evan Anderson, Derrick Favors or Daniel Orton. There are more!! After this signing period is over, look for a thread stickied to the top of this recruiting forum that will list who we are after.

"They're a real historic team," he said. "They have real good history and it's hard to explain but I just wanted to play at a program like that. I want to play in front of 24,000 fans every night. I knew when I was there, I wanted to play for Kentucky."

I don't see how every recruit does not think the same thing. It's a honor to be able to play in front of so many die hard fans. I think ultimately that's why Hood will commit. Playing in front of all his friends and family and oh yeah, 24,000 other people.
