Nation of Blue, a Kentucky blog, caught up with Perry Ellis for some questions. Ellis is a 5-star PF out of Wichita, Kansas. His offer list includes Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky, Memphis, Oklahoma and Wichita St. When asked about those schools he mentioned that Tubby Smith has recently called as well.

"They are still on the list. Assistant coach Crutch (Chris Crutchfield) came to open gym in April and Coach Kruger has called and e-mails my mom. I stil have the same six on my list. Tubby Smith called me tonight though."

Doesn't mean we are in this final two or three schools but the call was important enough for him to mention without being prompted or specifically asked. Should also be noted that if Ellis's mom is involved in the process that has often been a good thing for Tubby in recruiting.
