As Reported earlier by NoB's Scott Anderson, Evan Daniels of scout.com just confirmed via twitter that Jarnell Stokes will be on campus in Lexington this weekend for an official visit.

Kentucky's pursuit of Stokes seems to be related to Alex Poythress' perceived intentions. But with the majority of Kentucky's front court projected as NBA lottery picks after this season, having both Stokes and Poythress in Blue would not be a bad thing.

As long as they are both in Kentucky blue, that is...

I think it is a very real possibility(us landing Stokes). I'm not sure that that means much but, he dropped UCLA, added UK to his list and headed to Lexington for an official visit in what seemed like a matter of hours. This situation (when I say that I refer to Poythress too) is very interesting as it pertains to Cal's recruiting prowess and tactics. i definitely think we should know how this all shakes out by next weekend.

I believe the pursuit of Stokes has more to do with a guy like Bennett than it does Poythress. I believe Poythress is truly down to UK and Vanderbilt, and UK will win out.

I'm more concerned about Memphis with Porythress than anything. Who knows, really...bottom line is there are still alot of REALLY good forwards available and I'm sure Cal will get a couple of them. (I hope we get Poythress though.)
