The men in the middle. The center of attention. Consider it the best for last because this exclusive list has incredible intrigue both now and for the future.
He was a 6-foot-11 surprise at Kentucky's Big Blue Madness earlier this month. Yes, Bamba was there and has certainly become a top priority for head coach John Calipari and the Wildcats for next season. Additionally, he has been on the campuses of Michigan, Harvard, UConn, and Syracuse. Duke is also a huge player here, but Kentucky continues to make progress with him as there is no timetable for a decision.
Carter is fresh off a visit to Duke's Countdown To Craziness, and while it seems like forever ago since he released his top four, the Blue Devils remain the front-runner. However, and as crazy as it may read or sound, Harvard remains heavily in the mix. Carter is also including in-state programs Georgia and Georgia Tech, but the other two appear to be in much better standing.
Apparently mum's the word, because there is hardly anything out there on McCoy right now. No visits. No ballpark for a decision. All anyone really knows is McCoy is an impact player, and the likes of Arizona, California, Georgia, Kansas, Michigan State, Oregon, San Diego State, UCLA, UConn, and USC have all be in pursuit. The moment anything surfaces on this front will be big-time news.
All signs point to Kentucky for the 6-foot-11 big man. Despite the fact the Wildcats are after a handful of prospects, including Bamba, Richards is a true center, and it doesn't appear like potential suitors Arizona and Syracuse, among others, will be able to sway this decision.
