I'd be utterly shocked if UK gets a commitment out of Irving or Harris tonight.

Yea, but what about Leslie and one of those 2011 recruits

Leslie's certainly a possiblity, although I'm not sure UK is sold on giving him a spot. I find it hard to believe Gilchrist or Yacoubou would cut their recruitment this short.

Leslie and Yacoubou would seem most likely tempted, but like you said UK has guys higher on their board right now

We will not get any verbals tonight. Irving is there for the hell of it, pretty sure he is Duke bound. Harris and family are to grounded to make a rash decision like that. They have stated already that they will probably not announce until November sometime. I don't think UK is the leader for him anyway.

The biggest thing UK can accomplish tonight is securing front runner status for Leslie (which we are, from what I hear) and Yacoubou.

Above all this is continuing the good relationship with Gilchrist, who has been considered a strong UK lean for a while now.

I can say with extreme confidence that the UK staff is becoming very concerned about Villanova where Gilchrist is concerned. I can say with the same amount of confidence that their concern is warranted.

i was going to edit my post and add that Villanova is certainly a player. I read where he seems to be waffling back and forth, back and forth between the two. Jay Wright certainly makes a good pitch. Some say that even though he has 2 years left of recruiting, that he is thinking of deciding fairly soon. I hope his visit tonight helps to reaffirm his original statement/thought of playing for Cal.

I don't know about Irving but Harris strikes me as a very intelligent, well-spoken young man. I just don't see him committing anywhere based strictly on an emotional decision. I think he has thoroughly researched all the teams still in it for him, and he will go to the school that is going to best utilize his talents. I HOPE THAT TURNS OUT TO BE TENNESSEE.

Also, CJ Leslie cancelled his visit to BBM a few hours before it started. Said it was because of travel issues.
