cgeldmacher Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Attached is an article about how Calipari can't seem to get recruits to come to Kentucky like he used to. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaab-the-dagger/john-calipari-hints-that-platooning-hurt-kentucky-s-recruiting-163937974.html I find it interesting that he is making a plea to future recruits that he will shrink his rotation, like he claims to have done in the past, to get new guys more playing time. If that is true, then what happens to the guys that he has already told he was going to hand deliver to the NBA that don't end up in his six man rotation. Yet another reason why no top recruit should ever go to Kentucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeBsTa03 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 He is slowly building a case/excuse for his reason to make the jump to the NBA. He is average coach when you take away his 8-9 mc donalds all americans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Why can't he be satisfied with 2-3 Hamburger All Americans and 6-7 top 100 players? Worked pretty well for him at Memphis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 I think 2-3 All Americans and a supporting cast is what he wants to go back to now that he's not getting 5-6 a year. Problem is, he's getting none this recruiting cycle. It has him scared enough that he is advertising that he will take care of whatever 2-3 he can get.

cheeseman Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 He sounds a bit arrogant. Oh poor me I get what I want and then I realize that maybe that is not what I want after all. His problem that going to KY is now seen as no different than the other top programs so he has to work harder and he really does not want to. In his mind - you should come to KY because it is KY and because everybody loves me. What poor excuse for a coach - suck it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
