    2016 Recruit Watch

    I just wanted to start a thread concerning news and rumors about 2016 recruits. Today is the first day of the fall recruiting process so Cal will be flying around the country talking to recruits. It seems a lot of top recruits may be committing in the fall so please post any news or rumors here for everyone to see.

    For the sake of recruiting discussion, I'm wondering what you're hearing about where we stand with current recruits. Thanks for any info!

      I've been wondering the same, I know it's early but it would be interesting to hear if Cal and co. at least have some positive feelings about kids leaning our way.

        Bridges to announce October 3rd, he was supposed to come to BBM, but now obviously he will decide before then. Not sure if that's a good sign or not.

          I am not hearing great things on him as of now. Person I spoke to said he thought his decision (as of today) is Mich St.

          Anytime a recruit changes from attending BBM and moves his decision up gives me reason to doubt he is coming to UK. Unless he wants to commit early, still attend BBM, and try to recruit some of the other guys attending. That would be awesome!

          But, this weekend with the UF game should be awesome. Hope Cal can convince him to sign on and be a Cat!

              That's what i'm afraid of, Cal is really gonna have to impress him when he comes to town.

              I'm hoping the idea of him committing early so he can come to BBM as a future Wildcat and recruit other kids comes true!

                Cal is going to meet with Giles today, probably a waste of time, but that sure would be epic if he could talk him out of going to Duke.

                  @KySportsRadio: Obviously things can change, but 3-4 weeks ago I thought Miles Bridges was almost certain to go to UK...his Mich St visit altered that

                    Saw that too, not good. Guess we'll know soon enough.

                      Jerry Meyer has been solid that Bridges would end up at UK - not any longer.

                      Must note I received some concrete pro MSU intel on Miles Bridges post interview. Certainly a shift in my thinking.

                        He's either trolling, or he just isn't very subtle.
                        Miles Bridges tugged on Big Blue Nation's heartstrings last night with a late night tweet on the Twitter.com. Bridges tweeted a lyric from Drake's new song,

                          I was told today Bridgea has decided on MSU. Not official but Cal has already been made aware according to my guy.

                          He also just announced his decision will be made in Flint, MI. No chance he comes to UK, IMO.

                          I said months ago I thought this "magical 2016 class" that so many thought was a given could end up not being what people expected.

                            You've said this every year Calipari's been here. And I mean that literally.

                            There are like fifteen elite players in this class. It might be the best class on paper that has ever come through high school. Can't live and die with each miss, because there are going to be some with this group.

                              You don't think there is a reason Cal has offered so many guys in 2016? And took commitments from Wynard and Killeya-Jones?

                              You're crazy if you don't think Cal may have some second thoughts on this class. There is a reason they have moved on from some of the top guys and are spending a lot of time on guys ranked lower than Cal would normally look at.
