Kentucky scores another star 2011 prospect

Another week, another five-star 2011 recruit for John Calipari. No one’s surprised, right?

Oregon power forward Kyle Wiltjer (rated 25th overall by Rivals and 19th by Scout) became the latest star prospect to commit to Kentucky, joining Anthony Davis, Michael Gilchrist and Marquis Teague, all of whom are consensus Top 10 players.

That potentially gives the Wildcats a starting lineup along these lines, according to Jeff Goodman (who doubts 2010 freshmen Enes Kanter or Brandon Knight will stick around for their sophomore seasons):

SF - Darius Miller/Gilchrist
BF - Terrence Jones/Wiltjer/Eloy Vargas
C - A. Davis
PG - Teague/Doron Lamb
SG - DeAndre Liggins/Jon Hood/Stacey Poole

Not bad. But can they cut down the nets? That’s the real question.
