Clint Jackson, if I'm not mistaken, is from the DC area or at least has strong roots here. I used to correspond with him from time to time when he had his own magazine to sell. So there's a good chance that the contacts/friends he still has in DC/Balt region are supplying him with feedback.

Rivals article from 26 April on the Calipari visit mentioned above (subscription required): Roscoe gets visit from CalipariInterview with Smith's dad that says Roscoe is considering Kentucky b/c of Calipari, who was on Roscoe "pretty hard" before he left Memphis. Roscoe remains "wide open" at the moment.

This is not a good sign when coach Cal come calling. Hes the best in the Biz. Calipari is not close to the best in the biz. He gets players because he cheats through agents and aau. That crap does not fly with Roscoe or his family. Hey, a guy like World Wide Wes doesn't come cheap! Imagine how excited Calipari and Wes are that they have the full-throated backing of the wallets of the UK boosters. That's gotta be at least 10-12 AAU coaches and agents they can pay off per year to funnel talent to UK.

i think roscoe is really taking his time which is a good thing. alot of elite wings are available and they are all kind of connected so we will see. no doubt kentucky is trying to get in there but we have been in there much longer.

Watched nike bmore elite tonight. They are loaded. They have Roscoe, Barton, CJ Fair and. Selby on the same team. Roscoe looked good. Hit open shots and posted up hard. Still would like to see him handle more but he didn't need to with those guys. I talked to a coach associated with elite and he told me roscoe is hurt by having to play the post for his team. I was impressed today.

Just watched a highlight tape on him and from the interview I think I was wrong about thinking we should back of him and concentrate on someone else. This kid is the total package, ball handling, rebounding, blocked shots, jumpshot, 3 pointers, etc. I guess I'm just frustrated because we should be his choice considering we should run the D.C. area recruiting and we've been on him the longest pretty much. Hopefully he comes here.
