Keeping you posted, CollegeCarousel faithful:
The Henry brothers, who are scheduled to visit Kentucky in the upcoming days, are ever so close to making a decision on where they will attend college. The slips and word choices in public make it appear that the brothers are bound for the Big Blue of Kentucky. But is that the truth? CollegeCarousel has dug around and has been contacted by a few people that are in the know with these stars. From a compilation of information provided to us, we're expecting Xavier and CJ Henry to announce their college destination no later than Friday, a week from tomorrow.
Where to? Kansas fans can rejoice - it looks like you're adding two crucial keys to a promising future.
John Wall on the other hand has yet to publically narrow the list he currently holds. Remember, CollegeCarousel has always believed he is bound for Kentucky, but is it so now? Numerous sources have told us that although there has been no "silent verbal," the saga will end with Wall in a Kentucky uniform. When? Now that's the question. North Carolina has been publically eliminated (we said this looong ago) and the choice (publicly) will come down to the Devils of Duke and the Wildcats of Kentucky.
Soon, Kentucky will be able to claim the #1 recruiting class in the land. With Orton likely staying on board (publicly, yes; privately, maybe), Kentucky bluebloods will have something to rejoice about.
Based on Rival's Rankings, Kentucky's recruiting class will look like this:
***** - Wall
***** - Cousins
***** - Orton
**** - Hood
Is there a chance for another addition? We're learning that it's possible, but not quite probable. We'll keep you updated.

Wall to enter NBA Draft?
Recent reports from the Word Wide Leader in sports, ESPN, have stated that John Wall is possibly eligible to enter the NBA draft since, according to them, he will turn 19 this calender year and is a fifth year senior, instead of forth year.
Well, we're here to debunk this. Wall is not eligible to enter the NBA Draft and Wall won't enter the NBA Draft this year. After CollegeCarousel spoke with a few sources, we learned that if Wall were eligible, the NBA Players Association would not allow it based on not being a year removed from his high school graduation date.
Like we have reported all along, Wall will play ball at the college level.

Bledsoe close to becoming a Gator?
Sources have let it be known that Eric Bledsoe, a combo guard considering Kentucky, Cincinnati, and Florida.
Kentucky is making a strong push for Bledsoe, although reports said he appears to be bound for the University of Florida. Cincinnati, who also is in the running, is the third place team in this run for the guard. With official news about the destination of John Wall being announced soon, look for Bledsoe to commit before Wall and I would put my money on Kentucky or Florida.

Kentucky close to Big Three?
With DeMarcus Cousins already on the Kentucky Bandwagon, where does that leave the other two high-profile recruits currently targeted by Wildcat head coach John Calipari?
Xavier Henry, a 5-star wing player has narrowed his choices to Kansas, Kentucky, and Memphis. Although the main two appear to be Kansas and Kentucky, Xavier has let it be known he wants to play with his brother, who will walk-on at the school of their choosing. However, sources close to the situation are telling CollegeCarousel that Henry will decide within the next week on the school he will attend, and has made it clear that he won't have to visit the school (Kentucky) to make a commitment.
John Wall, a 5-star point guard from North Carolina has let it be known through back channels that Duke and Kentucky are his likely suitors and perhaps the place of his next chapter. CollegeCarousel has talked to many people around the situation and news could break this week on the college choice for Wall. Although not confirmed with 100% validity, CollegeCarousel is prepared to declare Kentucky as the college destination of John Wall.
