James Young: “I don’t have a list. It’s just Kentucky and then everyone else. Hopefully by the end of August I’ll make my decision.”
— Josh Paunil (@JoshPaunilNRS) July 15, 2012
That was the quote from 2013 small forward James Young told to recruiting guru Josh Paunil yesterday. Young is the 8th ranked player in the class by Rivals and 5th according to Scout. He sounds like he wants to be a Cat pretty bad and is mega talented. The end of August can’t come soon enough.

He is smart
July 15th, 2012 at 2:50 pm
I am confident he will be a cat but if its UK and everybody else, why not just pull the trigger.

Larry Vaught: “Heard from a college assistant coach who feels 2013 prospect Jabari Parker will eventually pick Kentucky”

It will be a fun August/September if we land this guy AND the twins!

Dude is Chris Douglas-Roberts 2.0

This is an incredibly awesome problem to have.
Cal is making an uber talented kid wait because he’s waiting for two mega uber talented players (Parker and Randle) to make their decisions first.
Wow. We are SO far removed from the Gillespie years.
July 15th, 2012 at 3:37 pm
We BETTER get this kid. I mean, even Tubby could get a kid with that list to commit. If Cal misses on this one it may be time to get a new coach. He may be getting washed up.
July 15th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
This guy along with the twins would be impossible to stop.

How many top 20 commitments does Kentucky currently have for the 2013 class? How is Calipari’s monster 2013 class currently? In Cal we trust…let’s just hope Aug. & Sept. are magical so that April 2014 will be magical. Seen nothing yet to indicate as much…

Wow BBN, way to bring the room down. Shut it. We’ll be fine, just like we were this year. Love this site but I am getting sick of the negativity.

James Young has already verbally committed to Kentucky. Should hear something publically in the next few days.
July 15th, 2012 at 4:22 pm
9- lol wtf?
July 15th, 2012 at 4:24 pm
#9 – I hear ya. Its not like Cal landed has 99% of the kids he’s wanted since he’s been at UK. And with only an elite 8, final 4, and NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP & what, 4 #1 recruiting classes to show for his 3 years here – I agree that it is high time to start to worry about Cal’s recruiting…
July 15th, 2012 at 4:35 pm
#6. Won’t Parker and Randle be expected to play the 4 and 5 positions, while Young will play the 3? I don’t see any problem or conflict with all three.
#9. You gotta be a troll. Please tell me you are a troll.
July 15th, 2012 at 4:38 pm
#9 is a jealous dork! He isn’t an UK fan. UK fans aren’t nearly as dumb as this perv!! God, why don’t they stay on their own board(s). I guess just rubbing elbows with UK fans is better than supporting their own worthless team(s).

Seriously! I want this on my next t-shirt, in quotes! …with proceeds going to charity of his choice! You’re gonna make millions!
July 15th, 2012 at 5:10 pm
Parker is a prototypical 3, not a 4. An absolute, definitive 3.
Randle is a 3-4 like Terrence Jones.
July 15th, 2012 at 6:12 pm
BBN- When you are recruiting top 10 players, they wait, because they can and so can Cal. So no need to be chicken little. We will likley be #1 again.
July 15th, 2012 at 6:13 pm
I almost forgot…I love Young’s attitude. “There’s Kentucky and then everybody else.” Classic!
