SEC Basketball Recruiting Grades; Tennessee on Top

ESPN has graded the 2010 recruiting efforts of the teams in the Southeastern Conference to this point. The Tennessee Volunteers are on top of the conference after landing Tobias Harris. Florida and LSU also received excellent scores. Kentucky, who only has Stacey Poole so far, is near the bottom:

Kentucky Wildcats

Grade: B
Kentucky commits: one

Coach John Calipari's dribble-drive system isn't for everyone; it caters to athletic and skilled players who thrive with the freedom to create. UK's lone 2010 signee, SF Stacey Poole (Jacksonville, Fla./Providence School), is that type of player. Poole is a high-flying athlete who fearlessly attacks the basket. He also gives the Cats a potential defensive stopper on the perimeter. With the prospects of multiple players declaring for the draft at the conclusion of the season, many of the top unsigned players are keeping a close eye on events in Lexington. As was the case last year, watch out for Calipari's ability to strike in the late signing period.
