Kentucky is without question one of the proudest programs in college basketball but somehow it’s also one of the most insecure and by it we mean the entire Big Blue Nation.
Take this article by Ben Roberts who goes to great lengths to prove that UK has a better incoming class than Duke.
For some reason it’s really important to Kentucky folk to have the best recruiting class year in and year out. It hasn’t translated into many titles in the John Calipari era - just the one with Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - but if they’d rather win the theoretical part (recruiting rankings) and the post-post season stuff (the draft), that’s probably okay with everyone else.
