ESPN's Dick Vitale refers to talented college freshmen as "Diaper Dandys".  But the true definition of the term could be found at Memorial Coliseum this weekend.

Nearly 150 of the country's top high school freshmen were on the court.  But these aren't your typical 14 year olds.  We're talking dozens of kids measuring anywhere from 6'5" to 6'8".  Players, who just a few short weeks ago, we're graduating from middle school.

Among the top players is Rodney Purvis, a 6'3" guard from Raliegh, North Carolina, who just happens to be a close friend of UK freshman John Wall.  Purvis says Wildcat fans are "in for a treat" when they see Wall play this fall.  And he says he's very interested in following his friend to the Bluegrass.


Camp Director Clay Dade said Purvis isn't the only player likely to show interest in Kentucky.  He expects the camp to make quite an impression on the young men, who'll spend four days at Memorial Coliseum and the state-of-the-art Joe Craft Center.

Talk about getting a jump start on recruiting!!!  Should make for an interesting storyline in four years.
