I have taken on the unenviable task of trying to rank each of the 104 players who have been on the roster during John Calipari’s 13 years at Kentucky. If you think it would be easy, it has not been. But it has also been a fun trip down memory lane for me, remembering some names I had just flat forgotten and appreciating some guys I forgot made such an impact. I decided to break down the players into 6 tiers, releasing a tier each day this week (and 2 on Monday). A quick schedule:
MONDAY: Walk-Ons and Never/Barely Played
TODAY: Flops
WEDNESDAY: Impactful
THURSDAY: All-Stars
FRIDAY: Legends
Today’s post was certainly the hardest to write, not because justifying these players as “flops” was difficult but because it’s just hard to call guys who certainly tried their hardest and represented the university a negative term.
