Over the next few weeks we should be hearing more and more about the new class at UK. The NBA season is over, the draft is just days away and all attention should then turn to college football and basketball. The exhibition games Kentucky has scheduled in Canada are less than 60 days away now. Things should start picking up soon.

Coach Cal is getting excited too. Here are some comments he had on Kanter and Knight last week. Not only is he excited about their
On Kanter:
[quote=Coach Cal]He is a great kid. He did well academically in the mini-session (at UK) and is coming back for the six-week summer session. He connected with our staff at the university — and I am talking academic staff and all the other people he has come in contact with.
He is still feeling his way around Lexington. He has just turned 18 only a month ago. You are talking about a really young player. Just because he is 6-11, 260 does not mean he is a grown man. He was 17 years old when he came to Lexington. But I think he will be good on and off the court for us. I am really excited about having him.[/quote]
On Knight:

Brandon Knight is a great kid, and he’s going to be a very good player for us. And the greatest thing about him coming in, I think he comes in with over 20 credit hours of college work before he steps on our campus, and he’s got a 4.3 GPA. He’s a real hard worker.[/quote]
