The Breakfast Club is alive and well thanks to Tyrese Maxey.
The club is simply the team meeting early in the morning for weightlifting and on-court workouts to help speed up the chemistry building process, as well as get some extra time to fine-tune their game. Kentucky’s most successful teams have embraced this early morning club, including the 2011-12 team that won it all.
This year, Maxey is on the one leading the charge, according to head coach John Calipari, who hopped on the SEC Coaches Summer Teleconference today:
Calipari said there's already some "Breakfast Club" work by the Cats, and that he thinks it's freshman Tyrese Maxey who is grabbing guys and leading them over to the Craft Center for early morning work.
