Konner Tucker (withdrew his LOI to Kentucky 3/31/09)

Look for some of the incoming and current scholarship roster spots to change as Calipari gets the best 13 out there. If any Memphis recruits want to follow JC look for GJ Vilarino to lose his scholly as well as Porter to skip his senior season. Expect to lose a current UK recruit and gain at least one Memphis recruit. Possible UK transfers could be Harrelson and/or Stewart. Also there is still a chance the Patterson leaves for the league and opens a spot up .
