While Kentucky enjoys the success of their first Final Four bid in over a decade, the addition next season of incoming freshman Michael Gilchrist will ensure continued success regardless of how many players leave early.

"He just does it all," St. Patrick coach Kevin Boyle said. "He's one of the best guys I've seen in a long, long time."

The 6-7 Gilchrist averaged 19.4 points, 14.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists as a senior.

Gilchrist is also one of the few prep stars to play elite level defense.

"I always play hard," Gilchrist said. "I just don't like to lose."

Gilchrist picked Kentucky over Oregon, Vanderbilt, Texas and Villanova.

"He's going to a style that's good for him," Boyle said. "[Kentucky is] gonna try to get up and down."
