Recruiting Update

A quick update on several of UK's most notable targets, for this year and beyond:

• Brandon Knight (PG, 6'3"/185, Ft. Lauderdale, FL) - Knight is ranked as the number one player in this year's class, according to Rivals, and he's been leaning towards Kentucky ever since John Calipari was hired. Knight has yet to set a date for his college decision, but he has finished all of his visits, which means it could come sooner rather than later. Those in the know seem to think that Knight will pick the Cats, thus ensuring that Calipari will have signed the top point guard in the classes of 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010.
• C.J. Leslie (F, 6'7"/205, Raleigh, NC) - Kentucky has been leading for Leslie since he first trimmed his list of schools, and it's still a safe bet that the Cats will land the lengthy, athletic forward. Leslie is ranked in the top twenty of nearly every major recruiting service, and would certainly go a long way towards solidifying Kentucky's 2010 class.
• Marquis Teague (PG, 6'2"/170, Indianapolis, IN) - Class of 2011 - Teague is listed as the top point guard for next year's class, so it's no surprise that John Calipari has already started laying the foundations to bring another floor general to the Bluegrass. It's not going to be easy to land the versatile guard, however, as local rivals Louisville and Indiana, among others, are also working hard to nab a commitment. Teague will be visiting Lexington in the coming weeks, and Calipari's staff will certainly try to impress the youngster in hopes of landing a verbal commitment.
