UK Recruiting update

In reading KSR it seems that Coach Gillipsie (BCG) is still working his ass off and then some. I believe that yesterday was the last day until the "dead" or "silent" period where coaches are not allow any more in home visits or something like that so what does BCG do? Visists 3 of his top priorities all in one day. "Big deal" you might say, but the thing is that these recruits do no live near each other. First stop, Chris Singleton (08 recruit) in Atlanta, then to Huntington, WV and met Patterson. If that wasn't enough traveling, he headed to visit Beas Hamga in Indiana to round out his day. I love this guy, work ethic on recruiting seems to be unmatched by any other. I am not sure he can keep up this pace over the next several years, but the way he is going he will probably have us a very nice 08 class wrapped up in the early signing period.

Chris Singleton being a new name here is what I have heard so far; 6'9"/215, combo forward, great athlete, good shooter, has been compared to Tayshaun. That would be fine by me to have another Tayshaun except under a coach that could actually develop him more as a player, wow. Sounds like we are battling UT for him.
