The lone current signee from the University of Kentucky’s Class of 2010 – Stacey Poole – said he’s hoping that Big Blue Nation comes out in full force this weekend.
Poole will be making his first appearance in the Bluegrass State when he participates on Saturday in the Kentucky Derby Festival Classic at Freedom Hall.
Poole is a 6-foot-5 small forward from Jacksonville (Fla.).
“What am I expecting?,” Poole asked. “A lot of Kentucky fans. I hope they all come out. I just want to come and have fun and hopefully show all of the fans that come out what they’re recruit is all about. I want to make sure they know everything they have been hearing about me is true.”
Poole said he paid close attention to the Wildcats this season and “can’t wait to join” the program next fall to “help them get even farther” in the tournament.
“I can’t wait to get there,” he said.
Poole said he’s likely to compete in the three-point contest on Friday night at Bellarmine University in the Night of the Future Stars.
