Kentucky will probably be getting two of the top 5 players in the country, so I'd temper expectations a little bit. We should be top 5 if we land everyone we want though, maybe top 3 if Blakeney, Sampson, and Dickerson get the bumps they deserve.

Eh, top 5 is guaranteed. With such a large class (and landing our top targets), I'd be shocked if we landed outside the top 3.

Noah Dickerson has narrowed his list down to LSU, Georgia Tech, Florida, and Michigan.

It'll be interesting to see how big our class is.

As it stands right now, we can have 3 guys for sure having 11 scholarship players and 1 senior. At minimum 1 of Mickey/Martin will turn pro, so we're safe taking 4 minimum. It's very likely both turn pro and/or 1 turns pro and another guy is processed or transfers, so 5 is the likely target. I have to imagine the dream class would be:

CG Blakeney
SG Sampson
SF Simmons
PF Dickerson
PF Thomas

If we lose one of those guys, Lott would seemingly come into play.

Yep, that's the dream class and how I think things will shake out. If we can get Blakeney and Dickerson on board soon that will give us a ton of momentum and could help sway Sampson and Thomas.

BobBarker you got the class any school in the nation would want and I think we can get these players.

Sampson (hometown prospect/#1 player in the state)
Blackeny (Simmons recruit/friend)
Dickerson(Simmons recruit/friend)
Elijah Thomas (Mickey close friend/ Dallas area where seems we get one in each class ex. Mickey and Robinson)

"Right now, nothing has been decided," he said. "I would like to sign in November, but I'm not going to rush anything. I want to make the best decision I can."

The next few months will be interesting with Thomas, Blakeney, and Lott all hoping to make their choice before the early signing period. It's gonna be a fun ride.

ETA: We're in Lott's top - 6 too. LINK

Yes. I think they can both play either the 4 or the 5 and play on the court at same time.
