"Kirk’s recruiting profile gained notoriety late because of Kentucky’s delayed arrival to the foray. After verbally committing to N.C. State, Kentucky coach John Calipari extended an offer to the 6-foot-7 wing.“Early on I committed to the Wolfpack and I wanted to be a man of my word and stick with them because Kentucky came along,” Kirk said. “I appreciated their offer and everything, I wanted to hear what they had to say, but I had to stick with the Wolfpack because that’s where I wanted to go.”
Kirk’s profile in last month’s game was perhaps higher than any other player, in part because of that short-lived flirtation with the Wildcats. But once the game started and Kirk threw down a one-handed tomahawk dunk along the baseline less than two minutes into the game, it was clear Kirk was at the Greensboro Coliseum to put on a show."
