Elite wing Archie Goodwin (Little Rock, Ark./Sylvan Hills), No. 13 overall, has become the Kentucky Wildcats' first commitment in the 2012 class.
Goodwin, the fourth-ranked shooting guard in the senior class, had his pick of programs. Recently he eliminated Connecticut and Kansas but kept in-state Arkansas and nearby Memphis alive. Big Blue Nation had been waiting to see which prime recruit was going to pop first and following an in-home visit, Goodwin could no longer resist the pull toward Lexington.
Goodwin took a measure of pride in being coach John Calipari's beacon for the rest of the class to follow. "He told me he wants me bad and I'm a top recruit for him," Goodwin said. "No matter what, he wants the ball in my hands and he feels like me committing will probably get the ball rolling for the rest of the class. It's got to start somewhere."
