I had heard when Arnett Moultrie withdrew his name from the NBA Draft and was going to transfer from UTEP, that Kentucky had the inside track on him. Then there were the rumors he was going to commit to Mississippi State, and then who knows. I ran up on this Texas blog talking about Moultrie, and of course they would be interested since he named Kentucky and Texas as his leaders.

Since the last update two weeks ago that [URL=”http://www.burntorangenation.com/2010/5/18/1477515/texas-and-kentucky-lead-for”][B][COLOR=#673103]Texas and Kentucky were leading for Moultrie[/COLOR][/B][/URL], the interwebs have mostly gone silent as Moultrie sets up visits and seeks approval to visit schools like Memphis and Mississippi State. It appears that he will not be able to enroll for the first summer session, which would have been a potential boon if he ends up at Texas because of the opportunity to play pick-up games with the likes of TJ Ford, Kevin Durant, Lamarcus Aldridge, and DJ Augustin, among others, though it matters less for a player who will have to sit out a transfer season anyway.
Without more information, it’s difficult to handicap the odds of Moultrie landing at Texas — the need is certainly there, particularly with Marcus Thornton picking the homestate [URL=”http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/Georgia”][B][COLOR=#673103]Georgia Bulldogs[/COLOR][/B][/URL] over the Longhorns, and the proven ability of Todd Wright as one of the foremost S&C coaches in the business should appeal to a player seeking to gain strength to play in the NBA. However, if Moultrie decides that he wants to play at a school closer to home, Kentucky, Memphis and Mississippi State clearly have an advantage, with Mississippi State and Memphis possibly holding the edge if UTEP finally clears Moultrie to transfer there, which had not happened as of the last update.

I really haven’t heard anything lately about Moultrie. Hell, I haven’t heard anything about anybody. If Cal is getting one more recruit, this one might be played close to the vest. Maybe we will find out something soon.
