Great Thursday morning practice allowed Calipari to go out and recruit

No one hits the in-season recruiting trail harder than John Calipari and one of the reasons he is able to leave Lexington so often is because his team can handle it. (And because he has unlimited access to private jets.)

Yesterday, Calipari called for a 7:30 am practice before his players’ second day of spring classes, so he could spend the afternoon and night in Missouri watching PJ Washington, Marvin Bagley and RJ Barrett.

The practice went very, very well, he told reporters today.

“We practiced yesterday morning and (Isaiah Briscoe) had them so ready to practice,” Cal said, when asked about Briscoe’s leadership.
