Vaught spoke with Larry Orton, the father of the Kentucky recruit Daniel Orton, a top big-man prospect who is going to wait to speak with Calipari before deciding where to play his college ball. Larry Orton mentioned the possibility of the top recruits DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall joining the Wildcats with his son before offering up this whopper:
“Imagine the bigs you could have with Patrick Patterson, Daniel, Matt Pilgrim and Perry Stevenson along with Cousins coming in. What an offense that would be,” Larry Orton told Vaught. “Then you would have Jodie Meeks and maybe throw in John Wall and Nolan Dennis, who is as good as Wall. You are talking about automatic Final Four.”

Some pretty emotional stuff is going on right now in the bluegrass state. The prestige bar is rising once again.
