UK news

Billy Gillespie has offered a scholarship to 3 year old Tanner Smith of Oak Lawn Preschool. Tanner is still considered a "project," but Miss Amy (Tanner's preschool teacher) says that Tanner learns fast and should be completely potty trained by this fall. Tanner currently stands over 3 feet tall and is projected to be a power forward by the time he reaches college age. It is believed that Tanner is the first prospect from the high school class of 2022 to be offered a scholarship. When Tanner was asked if he will accept UK's early scholarship offer, Tanner smiled and said, "I like ducks."

Seriously, Billy Gillespie has signed high school freshman Dakotah Euton to a letter of intent to play basketball for the University of Kentucky. Dakotah just finished his freshman year at Rose Hill in Ashland, Kentucky. Dakotah just turned 16 in March and he is already 6'8". Nobody seems to know too much about the kid except that he can really shoot the ball. Also, Florida apparently offered Euton a scholarship this spring but Dakotah chose Kentucky instead.

Derrick Jasper's knee surgery apparently went OK and it is being reported that he should be ready to go when practice starts in October.
