Chane Behanan - Bluegrass States Top Prospect - Class of 2011

*******


Bowling Green Kentucky's, Chane Behanan showing the skill that makes him the No. 1 prospect from the Bluegrass State.

Chane is a big bodied post player. He has some nice power moves on the low block where he simply over powers most of his opponents. He runs well and can finish on the break well above the rim.

Anthony Davis - UKBBN-TV Dunks Of The Day

*******


Kentucky recruit Anthony Davis with not one, but two Dunks of the Day here on UKBBN-TV...

Davis is rumored to be going to Kentucky and could end up being ranked as the No. 1 Overall Player in the 2011 Class. Add Anthony with Michael Gilchrist and Marquis Teague and the Cats could end up with the No. 1 ranked recruiting class for the third year in a row, and that's without inking anymore recruits.

By the way, don't expect Coach Cal to stop at just three as he should have four to seven scholarships available, depending on the number of "One and Done's" generated from the current class, and if Miller and Liggins have breakthrough season like Calipari said they might, we may see another mass Exodus from the Big Blue...
