On the road now but just got confirmation from Paintsville that Landon Slone has committed. I am also told that PRP senior Adam Delph was visiting today. Kentucky boys everywhere! More later tonight.

Great news!!!!!!

Great walk on player won’t ever be much more… But will give 100% everyday..
March 31st, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Once again, Gillispie “gets” it.
March 31st, 2008 at 6:20 pm
I would love to here any info on this kid if anybody can dig it up. I hope we here that Hopson and Ator has committed real soon. GO CATS
March 31st, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Any chance we’ll get anybody over 6′7″?
March 31st, 2008 at 6:30 pm
I think this is a pretty good pickup for a walk on.
March 31st, 2008 at 6:31 pm
2) Thats what most walk-ons are for, if they were going to contribute they would get a scholarship. But I agree he will give 100% everyday and thats what we need with Gillispie’s practice structure.

Daren Horn to USC…if anyone was wondering…no surprise

Landon is at least 6′3 and a very polished player. He is a sharpshooter
who shoots over 40% from 3 and almost 90% from the line. But he is also
tough and can take it to the hole. Very smooth. Heard he was training in Huntington, WV
last summer with the guy that trained O.J Mayo. I think he averages around 25
points a game, but had 35 in the first round of the Sweet Sixteen against a
Louisville school. Kid is a player and steal for a walk-on.

I was also told today by someone within the department that Arrez Henderson from Cov. Holmes was on campus with the coach for a visit along some other players yet to be named.
March 31st, 2008 at 6:44 pm
That is some blue onions rite there.

Trevor Setty has also been offered as a preferred walk-on by Coach Gillispie. Setty is 6′7″ senior that can shoot the 3. I’ve yet to hear if he has accepted the offer. I was told that “Setty was nervous while Gillispie watched him play, but excited about the offer.”
Coach Gillispie was also asking about Russ Middleton on the same night (after the LSU game when Gillispie flew back to watch Mason Co. vs. Elliott Co.). Gillispie said “who is number 33″. He was told that Middleton had committed to Georgetown College, but was told by the G-town coach to pursue any better offers. Middleton is a 6′4″ junior at Mason County.

I loved the interview with him. Kids that grow up dreaming of playing for UK will work there butts off to help the team. BCG knows this and was a good reason to bring him in. GO CATS

If it wasn’t for Setty and Middleton, Mason wouldn’t have got past Elliott in the Sweet 16. They were shooting some daggers from long distance that night.
But it’s good to know that Gillispie gets it. With the way his practice is structured, he needs good walk-ons to help push his scholarship players in practice. Hell, maybe one of these guys can turn those great practices into on court time.
It worked for Curry, who must be a practice warrior to get all the starts he did.

Just saw that Mr. Wildcat (Bill Keightly)is in critical condition after a fall in Cincinnati. He is currently in surgery. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.
March 31st, 2008 at 7:19 pm
#15 you beat me to it….they are saying he fell off a bus at Great American Ball park
March 31st, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Yea mine too I hope everything is ok with him
March 31st, 2008 at 7:21 pm
I get chills thinking about what our team will be next year or the possiblity of our team… Hopson Miller Liggins Meeks Galloway Jasper PPat Atar Perry and lets not forget RAZOR
March 31st, 2008 at 7:22 pm
and with walkons like Mackey and Slone come on now
March 31st, 2008 at 7:22 pm
I could give 2 sh’s and a f about recruiting right now. Get us some Keightly news. Now.
March 31st, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Pray for Keightly. Hope he is ok. CCU is never good.

we also got a new ‘09 football commit. 6′6 wide reciever out of North Hardin, not that it matters as much since Billy K is in the hospital.
March 31st, 2008 at 7:24 pm
18: Let’s just hope we get Scotty Hopson and Ater Majok.
March 31st, 2008 at 7:24 pm

March 31st, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Mr. Wildcat needs our prayers. He’ll be ok though because he survived 10 years of Tubby so this fall ain’t nothing!!!!
March 31st, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Love that Henderson was on campus. He’s a great Gillispie player, as I mentioned in the Sweet 16 recap. Great thing about this Slone get is that Henderson said he’s the strongest player he’s played against since Preston Knowles. That worked out pretty well for the Cards.
