Via every single source on the Internet, John Calipari told an audience Wednesday, while receiving an award from Alltech, that the team goal last season wasn't to win a national championship. Instead it was to get eight players drafted:
"Last year we started the season with a goal. You may think that goal was to win the national title and win all the games. It was to get eight players drafted. The mission statement for me would be to be a vehicle to help others reach their dreams, to be the stone that creates the ripple in their lives that goes on and on and on.
