Recruiting is changing; Calipari has to change with it so Kentucky eats first
There is change coming in the way John Calipari recruits talent to the Kentucky basketball program.He has no choice because everything is changing around him.
Gone are the days of, say, his recruiting haul in 2013 when he signed five of the top 10 high school seniors in the country, including the No. 1 point guard (Andrew Harrison), No. 1 shooting guard (Aaron Harrison), No. 1 power forward (Julius Randle) and No. 1 center (Dakari Johnson). Kentucky had the top-ranked recruiting class that season, as you can imagine, and they eventually reached the national championship game, although it was a wild and bumpy ride to get there.
