In an exhibition game in Canada, incoming freshman point guard Brandon Knight scored 31 points for Kentucky.

"Brandon scores 31 points on 19 shots, makes every free throw and doesn't turn the ball over his first time out," Calipari said. "Let me say this guys, he was nervous before the game. He wanted to go throw up. I said, `If you don't have butterflies and aren't nervous before the game you probably shouldn't play for me."'

Anthony Davis, a 6-foot-10 forward from Chicago, committed to John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats on Friday, his father confirmed.

Davis, who is rated the No. 5 player in the nation by the Scout.com recruiting service and No. 8 overall by Rivals.com, picked Kentucky over Ohio State, Syracuse and DePaul.

Davis joins 6-6 forward Michael Gilchrist of Somderdale, N.J., and 6-2 point guard Marquis Teague of Indianapolis as top-10 prospects in the class of 2011 committed to play for Kentucky.

"Coach Calipari is easy to talk to and he listens to what you are saying," Davis told ESPN recruiting writer Paul Biancardi on Friday in explaining his choice. "(Calipari) will be a father figure to me away from home. He's a demanding coach that will not tell me what I want to hear, but what I need to hear to improve."

Kentucky junior guard Darnell Dodson will not play for the school this season.

John Calipari posted on his Facebook page Sunday night that while Dodson is academically eligible, he won't be with the team when it travels to Canada for a series of exhibition games later this month
