Last night and this morning have already provided some great games. Last night wrapped up the AAU Super Showcase and now all eyes are on the AAU National Tournament.

Last night I watched Michael Gilchrist in action again and was impressed with his smooth play. While he did not have the most of impressive games you can see the talent in his game. Gilchrist is still being tabbed as one of the top players for 2011 and UK is thought to be the leader for his services.

I have been keeping a close watch on Adreian Payne down here and I have been very impressed with what I have seen so far. Payne continues to show excellent athleticism providing highlights for everyone. Not only has he shown a tremendous ability to finish strong, but his shot has looked really good. He has been able to knock down shots with ease from anywhere on the court. Payne still has some learning to do as he seems to bring the ball down a lot on defensive rebounds allowing for the other team to take it away easily. On the opposite end of the court he grabs offensive rebounds and keeps the ball high and finishes strong. His teammate Jared Sullinger (Ohio State commit) has looked great and continued to show why he is rated as rivals.com #3 player. Sullinger seems to toy with anyone that has guarded him so far. With Payne and Sullinger playing for the All Ohio Red squad I expect them to make it pretty far.

Shortly, I will be getting my first live look at Fab Melo followed by Kyrie Irving and many others. I have been impressed with some names that you do not hear that often but you will probably start to hear more from down the road.

And for all of you UK fans who can’t stand the site of Duke players and staff, I was forced to sit behind Grant Hill, Wojo, JJ Reddick, Coach K and some others.

I will have more later today with an update on how UK targets and potential UK targets have looked.
