NEW YORK—Oak Hill Academy’s Doron Lamb (No. 21 Rivals, No. 29 ESPNU) recently announced his decision for the University of Kentucky during the Jordan Brand Classic last Saturday at Madison Square Garden.
“I love the coaching staff,” Lamb said. “I think next year we’re going to be a team to beat.”
The 6-foot-4-inch, 175-pound shooting guard originally from New York had been weighing his choices between Arizona, Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky, and West Virginia.
The combo guard has a great mid-range game, a nice 3-point stroke, and the toughness that is so characteristic of NYC guards. Playing for Oak Hill, one of the premier prep basketball programs in the nation, has pitted Lamb against stiff competition and Lamb has proven himself thoroughly.
His talent and skill level led his coach Steve Smith to say, “I don’t know if I’ve had a two-guard any better.” Smith’s praises are not to be taken lightly as he has coached NBA stars such as Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Brandon Jennings, and Rajon Rondo.
Lamb now marks Kentucky coach John Calipari’s third star recruit in the Spring Signing Period after Calipari snagged Turkish sensation Enes Kanter and then received a commitment from arguably the best player in the 2010 class Brandon Knight on national television last Wednesday.
Knight had been questioning Lamb all week in an attempt to find out where the shooter was going, but Lamb wouldn’t spill. “[Kentucky] told me everything about next year, how I’m going to fit in next year, me and Brandon in the backcourt,” Lamb said. “I hope he’s excited now.”[etssp 11]
Lake Clifton’s Josh Selby (No. 4 Rivals, No. 5 ESPNU) announced his decision for the University of Kansas to the surprise of no one.
“I love the coaching staff,” Lamb said. “I think next year we’re going to be a team to beat.”

Selby Going to Kansas
Lake Clifton’s Josh Selby (No. 4 Rivals, No. 5 ESPNU) announced his decision for the University of Kansas to the surprise of no one.
“I think that’s the best place for me to mature and get to the next level,” Selby said. “I’m ready to lead Kansas to a national championship.”
The 6-foot-3-inch, 183-pound point guard from Baltimore had been weighing his choices between Arizona, Connecticut, Kansas, and Kentucky. He verbally committed to Tennessee in 2008 but de-committed last July.
Selby is most athletic point guard in the class. He showcased his skills by winning the Powerade Jam Fest slam-dunk contest at the McDonald’s All-American game. His dynamic playmaking abilities are defined by his aggressive, attacking, score-first mentality.
Since reopening his recruitment, the Jayhawks have been hard in pursuit and made Selby their top priority. With the graduation of All-American guard Sherron Collins, it was imperative for Kansas coach Bill Self to lure a highly-touted point guard to Lawrence.
“Sherron did a lot there,” said Selby. “Going in there for them to put the ball in my hands is big.”
Still, the star guard only plans on wearing blue for one year before jumping to the big leagues. “I think all of us hope we can be one-and-done,” Selby said.
