2009 point guard recruit GJ Vilarino has decommited from the Kentucky Wildcats, per Marc Maggard.
MM also thinks that UK has a very good chance to land John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, and Xavier Henry.

no big loss here IMO...Vilarino would turn into a liabilty it the back court just like Kentucky had this season and would not suite the "Dribble dribble Drive" style of offense that Coach Cal is going to implement.

Any word on Jon Hood? Looks like most of Gillispies recuits are decommiting. I hope Hood still comes to UK.

Im not upset with this at all. Ill take Henry, Hood, or Cousins over this kid anyday!

Although I suppose it's just semantics, Vilarino can't just "de-commit" from Kentucky, since he already signed his letter of intent. But if Calipari advised him to look elsewhere, I guess it's just a mere formality for UK to release him from the LOI.
Probably best for both parties.

I think this could be the best decison for the kid. Don't thnk he woulda fit well into Coach Cal's system. If BCG woulda stayed then he may have well seen the floor quite a bit.

Is Hood really UK material? Or is he just the best the stated had to offer and it looks good when we recruit our Mr. Basketball? JMO, but Hood is not on the same talent level as the players we need to be bringing in, however he is probably better than some of the players we are stuck with right now.

No, it's not a given that a recruit can withdraw his LOI. The school reserves the right to release the player or not, although they almost always do.
The whole LOI system is a disadvantage to the recruits, which is why this issue was mentioned in regards to Calipari's Memphis recruits, specifically Xavier Henry. As has been widely reported, Henry's LOI contained a special clause that allowed him to withdraw the letter if Calipari left. Without this clause present in a LOI, the university holds all the cards.
