[COLOR=#222222][FONT=Arial][SIZE=1]With Kidd-Gilchrist and Wiltjier the only possible forwards returning to UK for the 12-13 season, the recruiting focus (and talent pool) is primarily big men. Based on the above projected returnees, we would have 5 spots to fill. Who could the respective spots be filled by? Muhammad and Coleman, would be tops on my list, followed by Goodwin for a shooter. With Pollard, Mcgary, Ellis, Poythress, and Cauley rounding out the top names we’ve been tossing around (what about top guard Kyle Anderson?) I think we get Goodman since he is the only Guard we’ve really focused on and guards are ‘what we do’. I really think Shabazz has to recognize that the opportunity that awaits him at UK dwarfs anything he can accomplish in Vegas, so put him on the list. Coleman is much better than what he is ranked and that creates a favorable sitch for UK to snatch him up. I don’t see us pulling Ellis from Kansas but I feel we can get either McGary or Poythress. Round it out with Cauley and our class would be set. So, Muhammad, Coleman, Goodwin, Poythress, and Cauley join a roster heavy on guards and we look like a team that could be ready to defend a National Title. What do you think? Who would be your starting 5 for 12-13?
