Also, I HATE WKU, but it was good to see UofL get handed the big "L" the other night!!!
Why do you hate WKU? I really couldn't believe they go beat by Murray that bad, it must have been a fluke or something...lol.

Census are you being serious? Jon Hood is a legit top 50 player nationally and will be fantastic at UK. He won't be good because he is white? That is insane.

As for Orton, his dad was paid, but Gillispie is NOT the only coach that does this. Some coaches hire player's relatives or high school coaches just to get the kid to sign. Its not uncommon in the least bit, and is completely legal. Bash him all you want, but he isn't breaking any rules.

Both UK and UofL are recruiting extremely well right now. 2010 is looking like a star studded class for both teams. UofL has Jeremy Tyler who is going to be a star at Louisville and a very good player in the league, and UK has a similar guy in Dominique Ferguson who has potential to be an NBA All-Star due to his ridiculous all-around game.

4/5 Star Liggins
4 Star Miller
Two very good transfers Harrellson and Galloway

5 Star Orton
4 Star Hood
3 Star Vilarino
STUD transfer Matt Pilgrim

5 Star (top 10) Ferguson
3/4 Star Ross-Miller
3 Star Euton

Once again, Gillispie is not the only one that is taking commits from younger players. IU has an early commit (Matt Carlino), as well as Billy Donovan at Florida (Austin Rivers).

No way around the facts, Gillispie is bringing in some great players, and he is doing it without breaking any rules.
