ESPN’s college basketball writing team has an offseason series called “Sales Pitch” where they rank the best programs in the sport based on their sales pitches. Earlier this week the series had comments from anonymous coaches about recruiting throughout the SEC, and John Calipari’s program was all alone in Tier 1 of the conversation.
Now “Sales Pitch” is back on ESPN.com and this time they’re taking a look at Kentucky and asking, “Is Kentucky’s recruiting stranglehold on the SEC slipping?”
The crew of Myron Medcalf, Jeff Borzello, John Gasaway and Joe Lunardi debated Kentucky’s struggles and whether or not the miserable 2020-21 season was an anomaly.
