While we are all getting ready for the phenomenon known as college football, other college sports are getting ready for their upcoming seasons as well. Like the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team, for one. Yesterday, photos of the John Calipari’s highly-heralded class hit the intertubes, and man, Cat fans are incredibly excited. This one included. What we have in the lead image is John Wall, Darnell Dodson, Daniel Orton, Jon Hood, DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe. For bragging purposes, these kids represent Kentucky’s version of the Fab Five, plus one. We all know about John Wall and the expectations surrounding him — some have him pegged as the number one draft pick in next year’s NBA Draft — but Wall is far from being the only stud in Kentucky’s class.

In fact, the other point guard signed by Calipari, Eric Bledsoe, is considered an equal to Wall by some. Whatever the case, Bledsoe is a freaking beast. After the jump, we’ve added a little something to the group photo for celebratory purposes.

You know, Midnight Madness is only a month and change away. Expect the hype machine surrounding Kentucky’s newcomers to be at a fever pitch by then. Even more so than it is now.
