Knight a natural fit at Kentucky

After evaluating most of the ESPNU 100 players, I started to look at the top unsigned players in the country and wanted to give my thoughts on where they might sign. I have nothing to base this on other than how the player would fit the schools need, coach and style of play. As we all know recruiting changes like the weather, but let's have a little fun speculating where the following players might go and why?

• Brandon Knight (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Pine Crest): John Calipari has been in hot pursuit of Knight knowing that John Wall is likely heading to the NBA. Knight fills the need and would be terrific in the dribble drive offense on one of the biggest stages in college basketball at Kentucky. Calipari could go Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans, John Wall and Brandon Knight. What about the Hurricanes? If Knight decides to stay in South Florida, he will be the face of the Miami program and will continue to be treated like a God. He would take Frank Haith's program to the next level instantly. My pick: Kentucky

• Josh Selby (Baltimore/Lake Clifton): Selby could end up at Kentucky if Knight chooses not to go to the Bluegrass State. Also, with Sherron Collins and Jerome Dyson both seniors I see Kansas and UConn being right in the think of things. I think when it's all said and done, Selby will join fellow Baltimore native Roscoe Smith in Storrs where he would thrive in the Huskies' transition game and attacking half-court offensive that has produced great guards year in and year out. My Pick: Connecticut
