You guys remember Brandon Knight, right?

On April 14th of this year, Brandon Knight signed a financial aid agreement with the University of Kentucky.

Knight, a five-star point guard that was universally considered a top five player in the class of 2010, was John Calipari's fourth consecutive top point guard recruit. The other three were Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans, and John Wall. All three were one and done superstars. Evans was the "worst" of the trio because he went fourth in the draft, not first overall.

It was far from crazy to expect that Knight would be the talk of the Kentucky freshmen class.

But he's been hardly more than an afterthought.


The same day that Knight signed with Kentucky, Coach Cal got a signature from another big time recruit, a 6'10" Turkish mystery by the name of Enes Kanter. Only three days prior to signing, Kanter had gone for 34 points and 13 rebounds against the USA's best high school kids at the Nike Hoops Summit. That night, the hype surrounding Kanter began to build to a crescendo. It didn't take long for the "Kanter could be ineligible" talk to start, either.
