Kentucky had a lot of minutes open up for next year’s team after yesterday’s announcement that seven players would enter the NBA draft. We also compiled a list of the most likely uncommitted five-stars who are still interested in Kentucky.
Looks like Kentucky is now the favorite to land the 9th best prospect in the country, Stephen Zimmerman, according to 247’s Jerry Meyer:
Make that Kentucky has overtaken UNLV in #Crystalball for Stephen Zimmerman. http://t.co/4uzydOe5s3

Like Zimmerman, Kentucky could be the landing spot for five-star Thon Maker:
Adding Zimmerman and Maker would give the Wildcats four solid bigs for next year with Marcus Lee returning and five-star Skal Labissarie already committed.
