When you think Kentucky basketball, you think John Wall, John Calipari, and Patrick Patterson. Now the talk around Lexington and around the country is Calipari's historic recruiting class. Headlining the recruiting class is John Wall and Demarcus Cousins, but who the media and everyone else forgets to mention is Eric Bledsoe. Bledsoe is a 6'0 point guard out of Birmingham, Alabama, and a big piece to the puzzle down in Lexington. Let me just start this by saying, he is quite the player. Out of high school, he was highly recruited but received little media attention. Bledsoe considered Memphis, Florida, and Duke before making the final decision to go to school at Kentucky. Now a few months later with the season here, John Wall has to sit out the first two games for breaking minor NCAA rules, so the point guard reigns are handed over to Bledsoe. His first game against Morehead State, Bledsoe finished with 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. The rest of the story is still unwritten.. and he is no longer "forgotten."
