Michael Porter, a 6-foot-2 football and basketball player from Modesto (Calif.) Christian -- the same school that produced former University of Kentucky forward Chuck Hayes -- is the first recruit from the 2006 class to commit to the UK men's basketball team.
Porter, who averaged 16 points and seven assists last season, is the son of Modesto Christian basketball coach Gary Porter, who also coached Hayes.
"My son has always said that this was his dream, so when he was offered a scholarship to Kentucky, there was no use in messing around," Gary Porter said.
Porter won't be found on any recruiting lists, but fellow Modesto Christian guard Adrian Oliver can. Oliver visited UK with the younger Porter last weekend and also was offered a scholarship.
Oliver, who averaged 27 points and 11 rebounds and was named California's Division 5 Player of the Year, plans to visit Washington this weekend before making his decision.
