Kentucky's STILL Impressive 2012 Basketball Class

I would post this over on the SEC recruiting board, but that is filled with football stuff and there are more college basketball fans on this board.
With Montrezl Harrell asking for his release from Va. Tech, it looks as if he will be the final piece to Kentucky's class. Nothing in stone, but I can't see Harrell getting any restrictions.
That would easily give Kentucky the #1 recruiting class in the nation despite missing out on a number of guys including Muhammad, Bennett (grades issue) and Jefferson recently (got in too late). UCLA's is competitive but I think Harrell easily puts them above the Bruins.
Also, you are including former 5* point guard Ryan Harrow who practiced with the team all last year and gain Julius Mays, also formerly committed to NC State, transferred to Wright State and then used the graduate transfer rule. The 6-2 guard averaged 14.1 points and shot 42.4% from beyond the arc.
That technically brings their class this year to 7 players who will badly be needed with only Kyle Wiltjer as the only player who saw significant time returning.
How do yall think this team will fare?

Enough with Kentucky. I am sick of them and NCAA basketball hasn't even been over for two months 
Just when you think Calipari loses everyone he hits you with another gem of a class.

Sorry, but I was watching the 76ers/Celtics game earlier and got so bored with it it reminded me how much I already missed college basketball

I wouldn't mind seeing college basketball again, but I could do without it.

I can't really tell in paragraph form. Seriously.
Can you list their probable line up and bench guys?

By far the weakest of Calipari's Kentucky teams. Noel is very overrated and Goodwin is a very selfish player. I really like Poythress, but he's the only guy that strikes me as being in the same class as Wall, T. Jones, Davis, MKG, Cousins, Patterson, etc.
Now college basketball is due for a big down year next season. Ohio State, Duke, UNC, Baylor, and Missouri will all have significant losses, and I have said several times that the 2012 class is the worst collection of high school talent I have ever seen. So Kentucky may still be a Sweet 16 or even Elite 8 team (with some breaks). I think they will be a little worse than the 2010-11 team in the regular season. And I think they will make it to the Sweet 16.

Watch any game he has played on ESPNU. Also, he averages 13 points and 7 boards a game. In high school. Seriously.

I think the team will start relatively slow for a Cal team but ultimately gel well and be a minimum sweet 16 team possibly a final four/champ game team if all the right pieces fall into place and Noel is better than the people in this thread think he is.

Zona, maybe. But no way in hell do I take Indiana or UCLA's classes over Kentucky's full class

Hate bumping my own threads because it makes it seem douchery to do that, but for Kentucky fans, have you heard anything new on Montrezl Harrell?
Living in Texas and being subscribed to LSU sites kind of limits what I can see

Now that he's officially released I believe we're in the hunt for him. From all I've read/heard the feeling is mutual it was just a matter of seeing if Virginia Tech was going to hold him to the 30-day proxy they can exercise if you're asking out of a LOI.
