With May now here, we're beginning to see all of the major recruiting services having put out their final recruiting rankings for the 2016 class.

Over at Scout.com, their final rankings are out, and of course several Kentucky Wildcats saw significant movement. There are no Cats in the top five, and the highest-ranked player is De'Aaron Fox at No. 6. However, UK does feature four guys in the top 13 in Bam Adebayo (11), Wenyen Gabriel (12) and Malik Monk (13).

Sacha Killeya-Jones is the lowest-ranked Cat at No. 27. The lone uncommitted top-10 prospect is Marques Bolden, who comes in at No. 8 as Kentucky and Duke continue to battle for his services.

In terms of how the Cats rose and fell in the new rankings, Fox fell two spots, Monk fell seven spots, Bam rose four spots, Gabriel fell two spots, and Sacha rose two spots.

Looks like they were trying to figure out how to knock UK out of the top spot to me. [Razz]

Having 4 players in the top 13 is awfully strong...

I believe we previously had3 in the top 10.

I would be shocked if we weren't a top 10 team all season. It's going to be a fun season for sure.

Agree. It will be interesting to see which frosh play up to their rankings.

It also be interesting to see how Cal handles all his talent and how much they improve by tournament time.
