Jerry Meyer of Rivals.com is asked that question in his "Mailbag" feature today and he thinks U of L has a strong chance to land a top 5 class in 2011.
Meyer actually feels that Pitino and company have a solid chance to land right behind Kentucky when all is said and done in 2011.
The Cardinals already have three four-star prospects: Wayne Blackshear, Zach Price and Ryan Taylor. They also have solid chances to land Quincy Miller, Josiah Turner, Chane Behanan and Deuce Bello.
Meyer thinks that Kentucky will likely land at least one more player for 2011 as well. He mentions Anthony Wroten and Trevor Lacey as two possibilities
Here is an excerpt:
Wroten, the No. 30-ranked prospect in the Rivals150, talks a lot about Kentucky but it is tough to get a gage on how hard Kentucky is pursuing Wroten. In fact, the only head coach who was tracking Wroten late in July was Lorenzo Romar of Washington. Most believe that at the end of the day, the opportunity to stay home and play for his father’s alma mater in a fast-paced system will make Wroten a Husky.
Kentucky, however, will likely have room for another recruit. After the success of John Wall and Eric Bledsoe playing together in the backcourt, Calipari might put on the full court press to put together a backcourt of Wroten and Marquis Teague.
Another possibility for Kentucky at the shooting guard position is four-star prospect Trevor Lacey. Along with Kentucky, Memphis and Auburn are at the top of Lacey’s list.
