Sep 21, 2011 12:00 PM

Archie Goodwin has committed to Kentucky, becoming its first recruit of the 2012 class.

Goodwin is the No. 13 overall prospect and rated fourth at shooting guard.

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."
