I give you the name of Dominique Shellman a 6 foot guard out of Memphis Ridgeway high school who put on a show at the Hoopfest yesterday after the game.  In a contest where his team was outmatched, Shellman looked like the best non-Duke signee on the floor, scoring in a variety of ways and impressing the scouts and coaches watching on.  After the game he said that he loved UK and that the staff has been in contact with him at various points.   He told me that UK was a "dream school" and that Coach Smith was one of his favorites.  Regardless of whether he pops up at any point on the serious UK recruiting radar, it is clear someone at UK knows this kid and he will be a kid to know.
