Dakotah Euton made headlines when he committed to the University of Kentucky after his freshman year of high school. This past spring, the 6-foot-8 forward de-committed after Kentucky hired John Calipari. So where does Euton's recruitment stand now? I caught up with him this past weekend at the Eddie Ford Stimulus Tournament.

Johnston: What were your feelings when you found out that Billy Gillispie wouldn't be back?

Euton: Of course I was upset. I wanted to play for him. I was also upset when they hired Calipari. I know all he plays is athletic players and he even said in his first practice, if your not athletic and can beat your man to the basket you are not going to play for me, so I knew I wouldn't play for him and that's why I decommitted.

Johnston: Have you talked to coach Gillispie recently?

Euton: I have talked to him once or twice. He told me he would probably offer me a scholarship where ever he went.
 
Johnston: What are you working on this summer, as you try to improve your game?

Euton: I'm working on my athleticism. I've been going to the Hit Center in Lexington. I've been trying to get quicker and I'm trying to jump higher.

Johnston: Since you de-committed from Kentucky, has anyone been in contact?

Euton: Oregon State and Akron have offered. I've been talking to Notre Dame, Davidson, Stanford and Eastern Kentucky.

Johnston: Are you planning any visits this summer?

Euton: Right now I don't have any plans.

Johnston: What are some things you are looking for in a college?

Euton: The biggest thing is style of play. I want to go to a place that plays my style of ball.
