Seeing as Gillispie is always out recruiting, I thought it was a good idea to let everyone know who the Cats have their sights on, including those who have already signed for 2008.
Already signed:
De
Andre Liggins-Point Forward, Henderson (NV) Findlay Prep.
Scouts/Rivals: 5 Star, #6 at his position
A great ball-handler with premium passing skills, but lacks a jump shot. Is gradually getting a better mid-range game, but has no perimeter game to speak of. Possibly best prospect coming out of Chicago in 2008-and that's saying a lot.
Darius Miller- Small Forward, Maysville (KY) Mason County

Darius Miller- Small Forward, Maysville (KY) Mason County
Scouts/Rivals: 4 Star, #7 at his position
Scout.com thinks that he's the best prospect in the state of KY, including Bud Mackey. Good ball handler, good mid-range jumper, lacks an outside shot, and is sometimes too aggressive with the ball, trying to be "the man".
Being Courted:
Bud Mackey- Guard, Scott County (KY) High school
Scouts/Rivals: 4 Star, #5 at his position
Leaning towards-Clemson/Indiana
Turnovers are a problem for Mackey, but he's a valuable scorer who can run down the lane and penetrate with the best of them. Doesn't seem to want to be a leader, more of "the Man", but is in my view the best player in KY.
Verdell Jones- Point Guard, Champaign (IL) Central
Scouts/Rivals: 3 Star, #26 (Rivals) & #30 (Scouts) at his position
Leaning towards-Minnesota/UK
"Long" seems to be the best description of Jones, as is "wirery". Needs to bulk up, but is a true PG and has an above-average mid range shot. No real outside game, and is barely average on defense.
Steve Goins- Center, Curie Metropolitan (IL) HS
Scouts (not on Rivals): 3 Star, #33 at his position
Leaning towards-DePaul, Illinois
Pretty much unheard of. A Yinka Dare prospect, a.k.a. Can't Teach Height. Is a hard-worker who is gradually building a low-post game.
L.A. Pomlee- Power Forward, Central (IA) High
Scouts/Rivals: 3 Star, #35 at his position (Scouts)
Leaning towards-Iowa State
No info.
J.P. Olukemi- Forward, Simi Valley (CA) Stone Ridge Prep
Scouts/Rivals: 3 Star
Leaning towards-None.
