John Jenkins moved Up on Rankings

John Jenkins has moved up on Rivals.com from the top 50's to 32nd in the nation. Why am I making a post about him? Because this guy goes to my school and a good friend of mine. Jenkins commited earlier in the school year to Vandy. I have never asked him why not Kentucky but there is probably a good reason. I Joke with him at shootarounds some times of him going to vandy than kentucky. I push it sooo far that I where Kentucky stuff to school just to mess with him a bit. This guy for what I heard is kind of a kentucky FAN so I am wondering what Billy Gillispie was doing when he was recruiting John. All I know is this guy is special and Gillispie missed out on a great player and a great guy. Anyways this guy can fill it up. He was averaging almost 35 points a game this year in high school and he is a star on his AAU team and he is only a Junior. Not only that he won state Mr. Basketball in Tennessee. He is a great guy with a good attitude. If this guy keeps on moving up, there is a Mcdonalds all-american game for him in the future. Congrats John!!!!!!!

Here is a clip for what i am talking about.
Enjoy!!!!

NBA Summer Camp Beginning in Orlando



The NBA is going to start their first summer camp beginning today in Orlando. The summer leagues have been a showcase for UK players in year’s past as guys like Erik Daniels, Chuck Hayes, Kelenna Azubuike, Gerald Fitch, Randolph Morris and even Rajon Rondo have played well in their first games as professionals.

There won’t be much excitement for former Cats this year as Joe Crawford appears to be the only former UK player taking part in any of the leagues (he and the Lakers begin play Friday). The Celtics, who are one of the teams not participating in any of the leagues, have Randolph Morris in their camp as he takes on the daunting task of trying to fill the role vacated when Scot Pollard’s contract expired. I can't wait to see what happens.

Here is a roster from different leagues.
