Stock has risen for both DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe over the past month or so. We all knew Wall and Patterson were locks, but now Cousins and Bledsoe look like potential 1st rounders. A draft service even said Bledsoe is the #2 point guard prospect, behind teammate Wall.

Cal better be getting those recruits to commit soon or hopefully he knows something we do not.

Most UK fans will say "he needs to come back for another year", "he isn't ready", or "if he comes back next year he will definitely be a lottery pick". One very important thing people need to remember is Bledsoe is not from the best financial background. I would be very suprised that if Bledsoe gets a firm projection that he will be a 1st Round pick that he will not go.

Possibly losing 7 players this year and only 1 player is committed. Not looking too bright right now, gotta give it some time I guess.

Calipari is in VERY good position to land the #1 class in the Nation again if all that playing time frees up. If Bledsoe and Wall go to the NBA you might as well pencil Brandon Knight in as UK's PG next year, he is the #1 player in the country. Additionally, UK is IMO the leader for 5* F CJ Leslie, and the immediate playing time would be a huge bullet to potentially land 5* SG Doron Lamb.

Let alone the fact that UK is still in very good position with 5* Josh Selby and 5* F Terrence Jones.
