Calipari’s recruiting success has been so extraordinary, it has become difficult to appreciate the significance of signing five (maybe six) five-star players in one class. But just how crazy has Cal recruited at UK?
I’ve compiled a list of his recruits with their final Rivals’ ranking to help you better understand the scope of Calipari’s recruiting success. As a point of reference, remember the insanity that surrounded Jai Lucas and Patrick Patterson? Lucas was a 4-star, the No. 42 player in America, and Patterson was a 5-star at No. 17 in America.
