Just like the McDonald's All American game, the Nike Hoops Summit game was highlighted by four players coming to Kentucky next year.
Anthony Davis has emerged as the #1 recruit according to the ESPN Top 100. Davis had a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Not to be outdone, Michael Girchrist also chipped in 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 blocks. It appears that these two players will be double-doubles waiting to happen every night.
The other two of UK's four recruits, Kyle Wiltjer and Marquis Teague, scored 12 and 6 points respectively.
The updated rankings have the Cats recruits as #1, #3, #7 and #18. The only school close to touching UK in the number of top 20 recruits is Syracuse with two: #19 and #20. The highly touted Cards class has two in the top 30, Wayne Blackshear at #26 and Chane Behanan and #27. They also have #55 Zach Price. I guess that's ok if you don't like going to Final Fours and bowing out in the first round of the tournament on a consistent basis.
Here is a little something to wet your whistle while looking forward to next season:
