Chris Diggs also has more on this, including more players from all the rumors mills.

Cats in action
Over at Jody Demling’s blog we get word that some future Kentucky players, and possible potential targets for the cats will be in action on January 4th.

Kentucky commitment DeAndre Liggins, along with possible future UK targets Clarence Trent and Deividas Dulkys, will play Western Reserve Academy from Ohio Lexington Christian High School.

Also of interest is verbally committed Dakotah Euton, who will also be in action when Rose Hill will take on Lexington Christian.

Gridiron Tactics
Gary Parrish has a story on coach Billy Gillispie’s idea of using football principles to get more players involved in basketball games.

You just make up reasons for people to be a part of the team,” Gillispie said. “I think it helps team chemistry.”

(Interesting idea, he might have something here.)

SWOT
Tru, over at A Sea of Blue gives his ‘SWOT Analysis‘ on coach Billy Gillispie. This after reading Marc Maggard’s article on Gillispie not landing a big man yet for the Cats.

Updates on Recruits
Chris Diggs has updates on some recruiting targets for the cats.

We learn that Leonard Washington’s grades are in order, his next step in going through the NCAA Clearinghouse.

Diggs notes that Kentucky may be cooling off on Washington because of another recruit that may be close to enrolling. No solid name yet, but there is speculation. Hmmm
