Michael Gilchrist, St. Patrick (Elizabeth, N.J.)/Kentucky: It wouldn't matter how many Kentucky kids were coming back, Gilchrist would still make an immediate impact. At 6-7, he's an elite talent, with skills that would have made him a lottery pick if he could have come out this year, but what will help him as much at the next level is his grasp of the game. "He's a coach on the floor," said Cimmino, which means John Calipari will be able to use him with confidence.
