In Saturday night’s Nike Hoops Summit, Kentucky’s vaunted 2011 recruiting class of Michael Gilchrist, Anthony Davis, Marquis Teague and Kyle Wiltjer was on full display in a 92-80 Team USA win in Portland, Ore.The four five-star prospects all contributed to their teams, with Gilchrist and Davis tallying 16 points apiece, Wiltjer 12 and Teague six.Gilchrist and Davis were particularly impressive. Though they scored well, it was their all-around play that separated them. Gilchrist had five rebounds and five blocks to go along with his points while Davis notched 10 rebounds and two blocks.Team USA faced a size disadvantage against the bigger international squad, but the Americans applied full-court pressure, which was anchored by Davis and Gilchrist, to take advantage of their superior athleticism. The two forwards were all over the floor, blocking shots and getting deflections left and right. Their length will cause problems for a lot of opponents when they hit the floor for UK.On a few occasions Wiltjer, who suited up for the World team, was victimized by the length and athleticism of his future teammates. The Portland native holds citizenship in both the United States and Canada and will follow in the footsteps of his father, Greg, and play for the Canadian national team. Wiltjer had his moments in the game, scoring eight points after halftime and showing his range from deep.Like Wiltjer, Teague had a quiet first half, failing to score a point. However, he scored six points after the break, grabbed three rebounds and made a number of nice passes to teammates. Perhaps the play of the game was a two-man fast break that saw Teague make a behind-the-back dish to Davis for an open slam, showing the kind of chemistry that could make the Cats very fun to watch next year. This class will have a lot to live up to based on the hype surrounding it and the success of John Calipari’s first two classes at UK, but their performance tonight showed why they are ranked No. 1.Gilchrist, Davis, Teague and Wiltjer will all be in action again April 16 in the Jordan Brand Classic.
