Calipari Meets With Daniel Orton's Family

As expected, John Calipari jetted to Oklahoma City after his brief stop in Memphis yesterday afternoon. He met with Daniel Orton's family and Matt Jones at KSR reports that "things went well."

Orton is the top recruit in former coach Billy Gillispie's recruiting class for next season. KC Ross-Miller, G.J. Vilarino and Konner Tucker have all de-commited from Kentucky and reopened their recruitments. There has been no word on Jon Hood, who is Kentucky's Mr. Basketball, yet. There has also been no word on future commits Dominique Ferguson, Dakotah Euton, Vinny Zollo and Michael Avery.

My Thoughts: I think Calipari will work hard to get Daniel Orton to Lexington and will likely keep Jon Hood. I expect him to advise several others to de-commit and look elsewhere.

It is also very likely that several current Kentucky players will be looking elsewhere next season, as well. Calipari will be meeting current players soon and a roster shakeup is expected.
