Second grader commits to Kentucky

Just days after receiving a verbal commitment from California eighth grader Michael Avery, Billy Gillispie has received his first commitment from the class of 2018 today as 7-year-old Darrin Brown has announced he will play basketball at the University of Kentucky once he completes elementary school, middle school, and high school (in that order) at Trigg County.

Brown (at right) led his Upward basketball team in scoring, shots, assists, and Little Debbie snacks eaten after each game. He was also first in the postgame hand shake line more often that any other player. He also carries a high GPA, having made a 100 on his spelling test this week and a 95 on his units test.

Darrin's twin brother Micah (seen dunking below) has announced that he will wait until middle school before he commits to a college.

"Why commit so early?" he said. "I've got plenty of time before middle school."

Darrin is the first known commitment to Kentucky's Class of 2018. And no, he has not received any offer from Gillispie or UK.

Lets hope the kid doesn't turn out to be uglier than Joakim Noah or God help us all.
