Here is an excerpt from LatinBasket.com:
[QUOTE]University of Kentucky center, Eloy Vargas (208-F), a native of Moca, will join the Dominican national team when it plays in Lexington later this summer. UK coach John Calipari after all, is the Dominican coach. Vargas has spent some of his college off-season playing for Sports Reach, a collection of college players that finished 6-2-1 during its recent tour of China.
As a condition for taking the job with the Dominicans, Calipari requested the team train in Lexington. Calipari has said several NBA players, with ties to the Dominican Republic, have been contacted. After that, the coach will have to fill out the roster with college players or players who are playing in other pro leagues, including Alfred Horford (208-F/C-86, college: Florida), Charlie Villanueva (209-F-84, college: Connecticut) and Francisco Garcia (201-F-81, college: Louisville)
