The rich continue to get richer in the Bluegrass, especially in the world of college basketball recruiting. Point guard Eric Bledsoe signed his letter of intent to play for UK men’s basketball head coach John Calipari and the Cats on Wednesday, UK Athletics confirmed. Bledsoe averaged 20.3 points per game, along with 9.4 rebounds and 11.5 assists in his senior year at Parker High 
School.
Bledsoe, the No. 3 point guard prospect in the country, according to Rivals.com, and the No. 23 player overall, chose the Cats over Calipari’s former school, Memphis. The commitment of Bledsoe, a Birmingham, Ala., native, brings the Cats’ current recruiting class up to five. Bledsoe will join DeMarcus Cousins, Darnell Dodson, Jon Hood and Daniel Orton.
The Cats are still waiting to hear on fellow point guard John Wall’s decision. Wall, regarded by Rivals as the No. 1 point guard, and overall prospect, in the country, was charged last week with misdemeanor breaking and entering at a Raleigh, N.C., residence, according to The (Raleigh) News & Observer. The late signing period ends May 20.
