Here is a list of days where Coach Gillispie and the UK basketball staff decided to take up from recruiting. Now that I’ve gotten that tedious list out of the way, let me tell you about this new player for the Wildcats. His name is Jarvis Walker. Do not confuse him with the football recruit [...]

BASKETBALL SCHOLARSHIPS NO LONGER A PROBLEM?
Posted: 2nd September 2008 by Kenny Colston in Billy Gillispie, Daniel Orton, Donald Williams, Recruiting, UK basketballIf there was one major concern I had about Coach Gillispie, it might be that he wants to win so badly this season that the recruiting for this season might make landing players in future seasons more difficult. Last week, Donald Williams committed to Kentucky and officially became the 13th and final scholarship player on [...]
JUST WHEN I THINK I’M OUT, COACH GILLISPIE DRAGS ME BACK IN
Posted: 27th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Billy Gillispie, Donald Williams, Recruiting, UK basketballI didn’t want to write about basketball this week. It should be the last thing on my mind. It’s Louisville week. That should take precedence over everything in life besides food, water and breathing. I even promised you people that I wouldn’t have anything to say about basketball until after the Louisville game. Because of [...]
Mossakowski: The Impact
Posted: 9th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Football Recruiting, Kentucky Football, Mike Hartline, Morgan Newton, Randall Cobb, Randy Sanders, Recruiting, Ryan Mossakowski, UK footballIt’s not everyday that a tall, strong-arm big QB prospect lands at Kentucky. Especially an out of state one. But hey, hey, looky here… It’s Ryan Mossakowski, all dressed up in blue. Thank you sir. This class was already shaping up to be solid, maybe even good, with tons of three-star prospects in-state and around [...]
ELITE CAMP 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO
Posted: 8th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Billy Gillispie, Daniel Orton, Recruiting, UK basketballBilly Gillispie held his second Elite Camp of the summer on Wednesday, and two stories emerged, so let’s get right to it. GILLISPIE AND ORTON, SITTING IN A TREE That’s right, Kentucky’s #1 2009 target was there in all of his Daniel Orton glory, and his father was there as well, in all of his [...]
WHY I THINK DANIEL ORTON WILL COME TO KENTUCKY
Posted: 4th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Billy Gillispie, Daniel Orton, Patrick Patterson, Recruiting, UK basketballWe’ll do this one in numbered list form, since I have multiple reasons and numbered lists look prettier. 1. Playing time. There will be loads of playing time for Daniel Orton at Kentucky, regardless of what happens with Patrick Patterson at the end of the season. Remember, Coach Gillispie has said that he will have [...]
ODDS & ENDS: AUGUST 1 EDITION
Posted: 1st August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Darius Miller, Dominique Ferguson, John Wall, North Carolina, Recruiting, UK basketballAugust is here, which means football season is on the horizon. Aren’t you excited about that? I know I am, but I’m the basketball guy, so I’m writing about basketball. The big story of the day is the apparent commitment of John Wall to Baylor. Bears coach Scott Drew has apparently hired Wall’s handlers to [...]
ANSWERS TO ALL YOUR RECRUITING QUESTIONS
Posted: 24th July 2008 by Kenny Colston in Billy Gillispie, Dominique Ferguson, Recruiting, UK basketballI’ve made reference to Dave Kersey several times when talking about recruiting. He’s the source I trust the most, and he usually brings it with solid info. But why get a recruiting opinion from me when you can get it from Dave Kersey himself? This is hopefully the first of many guest columns Dave will [...]
RANDOM WEEKEND MUSINGS
Posted: 18th July 2008 by Kenny Colston in Billy Donovan, Darrin Horn, DeAndre Liggins, Kevin Galloway, RecruitingThis is a tough period for people like the staff at UK Wildcat Country. Nothing is happening – absolutely nothing. So in turn, I can’t write a long column on one subject, and I don’t like doing a WGCGA on consecutive days. I still have some information and opinions, but they’re all pretty short takes, [...]
AN UPDATE ON A COMMITMENT: KC ROSS-MILLER
Posted: 13th July 2008 by Kenny Colston in KC Ross-Miller, RecruitingThis is KC Ross-Miller. He is the 2010 recruit that committed to Kentucky within two weeks of Billy Gillispie accepting the Kentucky coaching job. Since his stock has dropped significantly in the last year, some people might be a bit concerned that Coach Gillispie jumped the gun a little bit by picking up this commitment [...]
