UK also has a PG commit for the 2009 class and the 2010 class already.

yea they're racking up on the PG's, so its looking more and more like he is gonna go ahead and commit to us , i really like this guy too, he is very competitive and everyone thinks he is too short so he plays with a chip on his shoulder

McDonald will be a very tough land. I wouldn't classify him as a must get because I don't think we land him. Duke is pushing as hard as possible for him.

Rumors also have him favoring the Blue Devils. Personally, I think Elliot becomes a Vol while Leslie heads off to Durham.

That's my opinion. We only have one scholly for that class anyways(barring an early departure).

Yeah, it'd be great to land both Elliot and McDonald, but i dont see it happening...
they are really similar players, but i see us getting Elliot, while crap Duke gets McDonald...

It looks like UK has 3 scholarships available for '08, so with Liggins committed, they have 2 left to give. They are using 12 now and have 2 seniors. If they use both of them and nobody leaves, they will be over the limit in '09, because they have no seniors in the '09 class and already have 1 commitment. I figure somebody will eventually transfer. Chris Diggs - UK Fan Blog Of course, Gillispie said that the inherited players are "his guys." We'll see. If no one leaves early, they will run out for '09 with the next '08 commitment.

I think we have a great shot to land both McDonald and Williams. In fact, at this point, I'd say we lead for both. We can sign 4 in the 2008 class (Williams, Fortson, Singleton, and Jurick) and still sign 2 in 2009 because I guarantee someone will leave. In fact, I'd bet that more than one leaves...either by transfer or somebody like Tyler Smith or Ramar Smith going to the NBA. Or we could make use of the UK method of putting kids on academic scholly (like EW). UT will look to sign at least 2 in 2009, preferably McDonald and Hall.
