Over the last two weeks people have guessed and guessed where all of the top recruits are going to go. You have The Worldwide Leader’s High School site saying CJ Leslie is going to Kentucky. Then Rivals.com comes out the next day with the correct information. Who do you think is more credible now? Then you have every site this side of Oregon saying Terrence Jones is going to Kentucky. Oh yeah, every site in Washington is saying Jones is going there. Jayhawk websites think they have the inside track because of Josh Selby. I guess we will all find out tomorrow. I said a long time ago I heard Jones would go to Washington, so I guess I will find out tomorrow along with everyone else. Jones being from the West Coast, I think, will be the deciding factor. As I have said before, I hope I am wrong, but the big stories are yet to come after the decision tomorrow.

[*]I have heard that Marcus Thornton has already committed to Kentucky. He is still going to take his visits, but he has already told the coaching staff he will be a Cat. This makes me wonder about Jones even more, especially since they play the same position. It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that Cal could land both though.
[*]Cal tweeted out this evening the big secret about what he and Larry Brown spoke about. Cal wants to start a JV team. I think he knows he has to find a way to get more Kentucky kids involved and doing this will satisfy that.
[*]I know everyone thinks if Jones or Thornton comes to Kentucky, Chris Hill is out of the picture. Just don’t be surprised Hill still ends up a Cat.
[*]We have been talking about starting a Premium Message Board on the site, and it will be for the die hard recruiting people who want to hear the things we hear on a daily basis. We plan on teaming up with our buddy Anthony Wireman to bring you the most up to date information and rumors that we can find. We were thinking of making it a very nominal fee, maybe having the first 500 getting a year membership for 10.00. I think other sites charge that for a month. We will let you know in the next couple of days what we are planning.
[*]I have been hearing some questions if Eloy Vargas will eventually be a Cat. Arizona is making a big push for him, and as I said yesterday he is taking a visit to the desert May 7th and 8th. He told me he is still going to take an unofficial to Kentucky after his visits to UA and Seattle. My guess he is going to come back to Coach Cal and Antigua to see how the Cats compare to Sean Miller’s offer. Kanter still needs a backup, and there are definitely questions if Josh Harrelson is going to help Kentucky go deep into the NCAA Tournament.
[*]The NCAA decided to extend the field to 68 teams today. Before you know it, they will have found a way to get every ACC team into the Dance.
[*]Tomorrow is a big day for Kentucky, and I am thankful the press conference is at 6:30. If there is a live feed and an embed for it we will have it right here on the site with a chat. Also, keep a check on Nation of Blue this evening for any thing we can find out and we will let you know. Just remember, I am probably burning the midnight oil with Jones being on the West Coast, it is hard telling what time we could find something out!!
