Gotta love the ESPN guys featuring, you guessed it, Duke and UNC in their star watch. In their defense, Irving and Barnes are two great players, and right after that they went into the real story. The uncommitted talent. If they dig a little deeper, hopefully they will see something most of these uncommitted players have in common... Interest in the University of Kentucky. That is why we are all tuned in right now, for a little bit of a glimpse of the future. (Although don't get too worked up about the results, this time last year we heard how Demarus Cousins might be a bust.)

* As you would expect, the game is up and down early. Kyrie Irving is apparently the only player in this game, as that is all that Jay Williams is talking about.

* Melo looks very impressive early. Apparently there is some law mandating good basketball players named Melo to attend Syracuse.

* Hard to know what is actually going on in the game, as the announcers aren't really talking about what is going on right now. Pretty sure this play by play guy can't tell them apart so he is just going to talk about UNC and Duke the whole game. That, and there is probably a shock collar which initiates every three minutes Duke/UNC isn't mentioned.... Can't complain too much, they talk about UK a lot too.. Still, get it together play by play guy.

* Kendall Marshall might get nominated for the overrated guy going to UNC or Duke award. Not sure yet, but there is one or more of those every year.

* Nice Dunk from Leslie, followed by a dunk from his teammate Selby. Hope they play together for UK next year, although sounds like Selby might be a Kansas lean.

* I like the big guy Young that is going to Florida. Going to bring some of that nastiness they have been missing the last few years.

* Leslie is showing off some impressive athleticism, and he doesn't look like a great Free Throw shooter. Should fit in with UK great. I still want him to come to UK, would be a great fit in the Dribble Drive.

* Apparently our whole team is leaving. Rumors running rampant that we are going to have a mass exodus. Going to have lots of scholly's available. I like our chances of getting a lot of the guys in this game with Cal at the helm. Right now Miller, Liggins, Hood and Harrelson are the only players looking like they will back. Add in the two commitments (Kanter & Poole) and we have 6 scholarship players I feel good will be there next year. And I am not even worried about that.

* Sounds like Wall, Bledsoe and Cousins are in attendance. Hopefully they can talk to some of these guys looking at UK.

* Patric Young is going to give us some problems as a Gator. CJ Leslie is going to give whoever he goes against problems too. CJ has all the tools you would want for a NBA small forward. I could see him and Terrance Jones on the court at the same time too.

* Now Jay Williams is recruiting CJ to NC State. Good luck with that. I just can't see Cal missing on too many of these guys. He is too good, and we have too much to sell these guys. One of those selling points is sitting court side. John Wall, Eric Bledsoe, and Demarcus Cousins. Future millionaires. That recruits itself.

* Hard to tell what was going on for much of the first half with the announcers recruiting kids to the ACC instead of calling the game... I don't even get bothered by this stuff anymore. Cal is bigger than all that, and his ability to put guys in the pro's is going to get us a ton of talent regardless of anything some announcer has to say.
