I know it's been kinda quiet as far as recruiting in the bluegrass because of soo many commitments early on, but does anyone have any info? With Legion gone and maybe another person transferring, UK has the firepower to get some big time names. Has anyone heard any updates for notably Hopson, but maybe DeMarcus Cousins for '09??? There is probably a lot of others out there but I just wanna hear your thoughts...
Scotty Hopson - Last I heard on Hopson he was real high on Tennessee. But still shows interest in Kentucky.
Wesley Witherspoon - Seems to be real interested in Kentucky, and hopes to be visiting in the spring.

DeMarcus Cousins - Haven't heard much about Cousins but seems to be a very athletic player.

Jon Hood - 2009 in-state recruit Hood, has intrest in all kinds of different schools but I'd look for him to do about the same as Darius Miller and commit to Kentucky his senior year. Scouts compare his play to Mike Dunleavy Jr.

Kentucky has also been recruiting some bigs guys from over seas.
Zvonko Bujan is a 6-9 220-pound center out of Croatia, and is averaging 16.7 ppg and 11 rpg.
Roberto Mafra from Brazil, he is 6-10 and is averaging 16.4 ppg and 7.8 rpg. He is a JUCO that plays for Southeastern Community College in Iowa. Both recruits look to be pretty impressive.
Maybe the best of the three international players is 7-footer
John Riek. He is 7-2 240 pound center from Sudan. Currently enrolled at Winchendon (MA) high school.
