According to Evan Daniels at Scout.com, Dominique Ferguson, a 6′9″ forward from Indianapolis, has commited to the Cats. Ferguson, ranked as the 8th best player in the class of 2010, had drawn the interest of Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Purdue and Wake Forest. Ferguson, according to Daniels, had taken an unofficial visit to Kentucky and was drawn to their style of play and the “family atmosphere”. He comes to the Kentucky from the storied Lawrence North program that produced Greg Oden and Mike Conley, as well as the late John Stewart, a Kentucky signee.
Ferguson, who has a 7′5″ wingspan and has a strong inside-outside game, joins Dakota Euton and K.C. Ross-Miller in Kentucky’s 2010 class.

April 29th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Too much positive news, I will have the “vapors”.
April 29th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
first time i’ve heard the kid’s name. 2010 is looking to be a pretty good class.
April 29th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
It seems like we had not had good news in forever and now Josh and Dominique in the same day.
April 29th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
I didn’t even know this kid was on the Cats radar. With the 2010 class still being a couple years away I hadn’t even really heard of this kid yet to be honest. WOW!
April 29th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
wow… there you go all you BCG haters… we’re already looking like we’re gonna have the number one recruiting class in 2010… told y’all
April 29th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
My oh, my! How fast everything has changed. It will not be long before we are competing for a
championship…be afraid…be very afraid- the big blue will soon be back!
April 29th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
wow, freaking amazing…i love it i love it
April 29th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
OMG I can’t keep orgasming like this repeatedly!!! Nothings going to come out this time!
YEA BABY!!!
I hope BCG gets him some tonight!
GO BIG BLUE!
April 29th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
JH commits, Dominique commits, Hood names KY number 1, and there is possibly a 2011 verbal coming….all in 1 day.
I think the sky quit falling
April 29th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
So he is still two years away and has a 7′5″ wing-span? Am I reading that right? Could this kid still grow?
April 29th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
How exciting….way to go BCG!
Ppat - stick around till your senior season, and I think you will have a ring!
April 29th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
To All the Gillispie haters - In your freakin face. Don’t jump on the Gillispie bandwagon now, we don’t want you or need you.
Josh Harrellson
Ferguson
2011 Stud Vinny Zollo will be committing soon
Jon Hood just named UK his leader
April 29th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
We have one of the best coaching staffs in the country. As far as recruiters there is none better.
As far as x & o’s remember just how well the staff adapted to the few players they had available last
year. It will be truly amazing what this team can do with a few bodies to compete with. This season
will be fun to watch. I believe it is time to purchase that big screen I have been waiting for- we’re
my rebate check?
April 29th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
I havent heard great news like this since I was told SHE’S NOT PREGNANT…. Way to go Coach Clyde….
April 29th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Boy do things change quickly………fantastic news….Go Big Freakin’ Gargantuan Blue Baby!!!!!!!!!!
April 29th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Sweet… PPat stick around and hang another banner!
April 29th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
I don’t see BigRob chiming in now….
April 29th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Please Tipton, TRY to spin this day into a negative!
April 29th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
TUBBY, this is ONE reason i hated you..thanks for being gone…
thank God for Billy Gillispie! GO CATS!
April 29th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
I still think we’ll add one more this year. Bobby Maze come on down, yuo’re the next big contestant on THE BCG SHOW!!!!!!
April 29th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
BigRob, Payne and the like are conspicuosly absent now aren’t they. GO BOG BLUE!! GO BIG BLUE!!
April 29th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Check #15, for my spelling, it never comes out straight.
April 29th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
HOLY SHIT!!! AWESOME!
April 29th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Wow this is crazy news…..Just when I thought things could not get any worse…….we go and do something like this ……..
AND TOTALLY REDEEM OURSELVES!!!!!!!!!
April 29th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
This could open a lot of doors for UK to Indiana players. Stephan Van Treese and Jeff Robinson???
April 29th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
what class are they max?
April 29th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
I had a lay over last week in Vegas from Fresno and there was an entire AAU team on my flight. Anyone know where I can go to check these kids out?
April 29th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Whenever you think the bad news won’t stop - just remember that out of the blue, wonderful tear inducing news can happen. 2010 is a wonderful recruiting class. I was very high on Josh Harrellson when he was first reported, I’m really excited he chose us. Things are looking bright for the Big Blue!
April 29th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Van Treese already eliminated UK, don’t know about Robinson…but Evan Anderson is still very possible I would think.
April 29th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Treese is 2009 - 4 star
Robinson 2009 - 3 star
All three play on the same team or at least I think
April 29th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
I have determined that Coach’s philosophy in recruiting is nail down kids 3-4 years before they’re on everyone’s radar (Vinny Zollo, K.C. Ross-Miller, Euton) and then when everyone else is recruiting for next year’s class you’ll be finished and recruiting for the class 3 years away. By the way, I live in Ohio and have talked to some people about Zollo - the kid will be a stud.
April 29th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
36 - I did not know that. Thanks
April 29th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Who the fck is Zollo? Where’d that name come from? Dominque Ferguson is the 2010 player that just committed
April 29th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Just a refreshrment to know the quality of individuals kentucky athletics has produced compared to other school. This is one of the classiest articles I have ever read. I hope one of them gets the other one cut so that there will be a better opportunity for both of them.
http://blog.nj.com/ledgergiants/2008/04/lorenzen_genuinely_scared_by_w .html
April 29th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
WOW
April 29th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
One person I think will surprise us is GJ Vilarino. BCG must have seen something special in this kid because he was the first to commit (at least I think)once BCG aboard.
He did make TX all team. I picture a smart, quick and intense player when I thnk of him. Plus, his name will sound cool being announced in Rupp…..
“ASSIST FROM GJ VILARINO”
April 29th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Can’t wait to get the right colors on that wildcat uniform
April 29th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
we need to lock up euton’s teammate, chad jackson (believe that is his name). he is going to be a top 20 talent.
April 29th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
Vinny Zollo is a 2011 stud. 6′8 big,strong kid you can bang inside, deadly from outside, and can handle the ball very well.
April 29th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Sweet Jesus take me now. I love Billy G.
April 29th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
the 2010 class looks really good on paper…BCG getting it done
April 29th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
Wow thats a big get from a name I dont think I had heard much about, besides seeing him on the list of interest on Scout. The 2010 class is very important cuz a lot of schollies are gonna free up then. He seems like the kinda player Billy loves so…man the future looks bright. Cant wait until we are back on top! Go Cats!
April 29th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
As noted already Zollo is a kid in the 2011 class. I believe that Ohio St. will recruit him hard if we don’t get him nailed down soon. Matta is a killer recruiter who is packing the 2009 and 2010 classes with some amazing talent. On a side note, I would like to say how I “loved” (sarcasm) the comments from so many people over the recent days as recruits did not commit to UK. Reminds me of last year of Sanchez and Hamga not committing and so many people saw that as a sign that PPat was going to UF. Sometimes, people need to chill.
April 29th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
BCG the “MAN” is a workaholic when it comes to recruiting,i would bet no one works as long or as hard…it kinda sheds light on how hard he works his players and the rewards that will follow.
April 29th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
He was at Midnight madness along with these guys:
Sampson
J Hood
Garret Stutz
Verdell Jones
Chris Singleton
Miller
Liggins
Dakotah Euton
Chad Jackson
John Wall
Vinny Zollo
April 29th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
52..we might end up getting half of those guys!!!!!
April 29th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
May face hurts from grinning so much….. Good hurt.
April 29th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Weeeeeeeeeeeer’eeeeee Baaaaaaaaaackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
April 29th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
i think BCG is gonna end up getting jon hood and chad jackson for sure
April 29th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
COME ONNNNNNN!!!!!!!! WHERE IS ALL OF THE RECRUITING NEWS
8.)
April 29th, 2008 at 10:10 pm

April 29th, 2008 at 10:23 pm

April 29th, 2008 at 10:24 pm

April 29th, 2008 at 10:26 pm

April 29th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
61 - just let it go.
April 29th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
61.) Throw Ralph Sampson and Devron Bostick in Tubby’s too. Dont turn this great day into something negative.
Just let it be.
April 29th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
#66 let it go? I am trying to be thankful for the gift of Gillispie that was givin to Big Blue Nation
I don’t think you all realize how close we were to having a class with Stutz, Sutton, and V. Jones, if Tubby had stayed
April 29th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Does anyone know the actual station where i can listen?
April 29th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
REMEMBER IF YOU TREAT FELLOW PLAYERS IN AN A NEGATIVE WAY, WORD GETS OUT! IF A PROGRAM CONTINUALLY DOESNT LOOK OUT FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF ITS YOUNG BALL PLAYERS, THE WORD WILL GET OUT.TO HAVE PLAYED PLAYERS WITH INJURIES THAT REQUIRE LONG REHAB AND PUSH THEM INTO ACTION ALARMS MANY POTENTIAL RECRUITS. WORD IS OUT! COMMITT TODAY RECOMMITT TOMARROW. QUESTION? MANY NBA RECRUITS LOGG INJURIES AND REHAB. KENTUCKY RECIEVES AND F FOR PUSHING ITS PLAYERS BACK ON THE COURT. A YEAR OF ELGIBILITY LOST FOR TWO OF ITS UP AND COMING PLAYERS. NO ONE COMES BACK IN THAT TIME FOR THOSE INJURIES.NAME ME ONE I HAVE A LIST OF 75 ATHLETES, NOT ONE’ ON THE NBA LEVEL OR COLLEGE. LOOK DEEP BLUE LOOK DEEP! I WOULD TRANSFER TOO.BOTH MEEKS AND JASPER ARE CONSIDERING. WORD IS OUT! KENTUCKY WILL ABUSE YOU.

April 29th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
70) Is that english?
April 29th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
68 Dude c’mon… You can’t know that and neither can we….Lets just enojy the good news without hubris toward a person who is gone
April 29th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
70 - you speak of “negativity” yet you are the one bringing it up. Nice work!
April 29th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
RIGHT I SHOUD BE POSITIVE. HOPING FOR THE BEST. THE NEXT TIME I TALK TO THESE KIDS I HOPE I CAN BE.
April 29th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
76 - put your pinky on the Ctrl key, then move up two keys and press down!
April 29th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
Who are you papadalafunk the bus driver?
April 29th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Umm, #70, two things, first your caps lock is on and second, who are you, the Oracle at Delphi? Go back into your cave on Beargrass creek and drink more Wild Irish Rose and smoke more crack with the other Tard fans!
April 29th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Everyone look at #76 papadalafunk and get real use hearing stuff like that. Why? bc UK haters are starting to realize that it won’t be long before UK is back on top and they are getting scared.
In one day we got
Harrelson
Dominique freakin Ferguson
Hood named us his leader
Got word that Vinny Zollo will verbal on Monday
April 29th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
I figured out who papa is…Pearl or one of his kronies. Another recruiting tactic?
Note - this is a total joke. I enjoy BP’s style in the SEC, just from what I have heard, he uses agressive recruiting tactics.
April 29th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
70 - So the crux of your argument rests on high school kids being concerned that they’ll get too many minutes in college? The same kids who don’t ever come out of the games in high school? Yeah, if the biggest knock on Gillispie is that he’ll give you every chance to play lots of minutes, and doesn’t bother red-shirting guys when he thinks they’ll be going pro early anyway, then I think UK will be just fine on the recruiting front.
April 29th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
TRUTH!!! ITS ALWAYS HARD TO SWALLOW BLUE SEE U IN THE NIT TOURNEY.
April 29th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
BYE BYE PEOPLE COME TO SOUTHERN CAL.
April 29th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
BYE BYE PEOPLE COME TO SOUTHERN CAL.
April 29th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Papa, are you Roderick Rhodes? I just figured it out
April 29th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
It just keeps getting better. I believe I will pour a little bourbon out for this day. I have said it before, I like Billy Clyde’s style. He takes boys and makes men out of them.
April 29th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
I hope Billy Clyde is in a hot tub with lots of co-eds tonight! He deserves it.
April 29th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
A USC FAN? THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!
April 29th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
Great day to be a CATS fan. Demmling had a small interview with Dominique and you can feel how much he likes UK and he seems just as excited to come here as we are to have him.
April 30th, 2008 at 12:04 am
I am not trying to negative. I am very excited to have 2 recruits in one day, and another possibly coming. I am confused about the class of 2009 though. We don’t lose anybody after next year unless they go pro or transfer. Unless somebody transfers this year, like Williams or Jasper, I don’t see how we will give schollarships for players like Hood or anybody in his class. Does anybody know more about the schollarship situation that might explain how this will work?
April 30th, 2008 at 12:05 am
The attention from all these other team fans means they are getting scarred.
April 30th, 2008 at 12:12 am
Great job BCG! Starting 5 for 2008 - 2009: G Liggins, G Meeks, G Jasper / Galloway, F Patterson, F Stevenson, but the next 5 is where we stay solid - Harris (maybe starts), Jasper (starts if still here in ) or Galloway, Stewart, Miller and Harrelson. 10 deep with that talent - SCARY. And if PPat goes 4 years, 2010 - 2011 we hang the banner. Maybe sooner. And NFL Scouts are dumbassssesssss but thats another story - go Ortmeyer for saying 100 guys or more drafted couldnt hold Woodyard’s jock! AMEN. Besides, I dont think Marlon McCree has had such a bad run, eh?
April 30th, 2008 at 12:32 am
response to 91 u must first push an athlete out or over work or play someone hurt. My point!! KENTUCKY BLUE
April 30th, 2008 at 12:44 am
#93, put down the jim beam and go to sleep!
Your all over the place!
April 30th, 2008 at 1:29 am
#91–To answer your question, there is only 1 schollie available and that is Carter’s. You would assume that PP might head to the NBA, that would give you two, Miller could want to win and become a walk-on, but that is unlikely. There still may be some transfers next year. Remember, the only guy that was a BCG guy was PP (after Legion left). Williams is already out and if AJ doesn’t improve (which I hope he does) then he will spend a ton of time on the bench and second guess his future. Hood could walk on for 1 year and then get a schollie (highly unlikely). And then there is the always popular “Academic Scholarship” that everyone talks about but probably the least likely option since the player would have to qualify with the general population for the scholarship. Porter could possibly qualify. Believe me, if there is someone that BCG wants, he will find a way. Hope this helps.
April 30th, 2008 at 1:35 am
Hopefully with this news and the Harrellson signing the UK worry-worts will simma down now!
April 30th, 2008 at 1:56 am
These Indiana fans are pissed http://www.insidethehall.com/2008/04/29/dominique-ferguson-to-kentucky /
BCG FTW!
April 30th, 2008 at 2:53 am
91- go ahead and bank on Jasper and Williams leaving.
April 30th, 2008 at 8:18 am
Ferguson’s do it better!
April 30th, 2008 at 9:41 am
Ferguson kinda reminds me of a Kevin Durant type of player…a 3/4 in college but could go 2/3 in the NBA. Lets just hope that comparison is justified when he improves the next three years. I don’t really like to compare any HS kid to a big league talent.
April 30th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Papasucalot or WTF, take that Crack pipe out of your suck hole and replace it with a cockaroot you looser.
