Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie continues to capitalize on his former Texas A&M connections. DeSoto God's Academy 6-0 sophomore point guard K.C. Ross-Miller has become a 2010 commit for Kentucky. Gillispie first offered Ross-Miller a college scholarship when he was an eighth-grader according to rivals.com.

Gillispie's first commit to Kentucky was '09 McKinney PG GJ Vilarino a week after Gillispie left A&M for Kentucky in April.
