Finally two mixes that separate the both of them.

They just added James Young, too. Three top 10 guards from the 2013 class. Their 2013 class is going to be scary when it's all said and done.

[chips93]

3 of espn's top 5 so far

:eek:

[SourPatchKids]

And they're not done yet....

**** Kentucky

[InspiredLebowski]

**** KentuckyYeah, cuz we all know how by the book Calhoun was.

[kNicKz]

Who said anything about anyone being about any book? I just said I hate the team, something on your mind? :roll:

[kNicKz]

I'm pretty sure any D-1 powerhouse has done some shady shit (including us), kinda sucks that we're the only contender getting hit but oh well we've done more with less

[Kiddlovesnets]

Well what else are you expecting when one of the greatest b-ball school gets the legendary recruiter as their head coach?

[kNicKz]

People are acting like you have to be a master recruiter to get kids to come to KENTUCKY :roll:

What Cal has done at UK is convinced stars to play with other stars. Most 17-18 year olds have always been the best player on every team they've ever been on and most were intimidated to play on college teams with other great players for fear of not getting enough touches, exposure, etc... He actually has these players wanting to come to UK where they will play on stacked teams and shown that it won't hurt their draft stock.

[insidehoops]

A mere week after landing Aaron and Andrew Harrison, twin brothers and the top shooting guard and point guard in the class of 2013, respectively, Calipari added another top-five player to his team -- No. 2-ranked shooting guard James Young. Young is 6-foot-6 and can play at the small forward position as well as in the backcourt, which sounds like an ideal fit alongside the versatile, athletic Harrisons. However the talent fits, it also gives Calipari three of the top five players in the class, a feat rarely seen in any class.

Stars playing with other stars, this unheard of concept is baffling

Kentucky fans have every right to focus on the here and now. After all, the Wildcats are going to be very good in 2012-13. John Calipari has a reloaded team coming off a national championship, with another plausible No. 1 overall draft pick (Nerlens Noel, assuming he's cleared to play by the NCAA) anchoring the center position and a coterie of highly ranked recruits (Archie Goodwin, Alex Poythress, NC State transfer Ryan Harrow, sophomore forward Kyle Wiltjer) filling out the lineup. UK will almost certainly begin the season in the top five, and will almost certainly compete for a national championship. In Lexington, there's no time like the present.

Never said it was unheard of or has never been done before, just that he is doing it every single year and with great success.

And also, I don't recall the Fab Five all going in the first round of the draft...

[DeuceWallaces]

**** Kentucky

**** you.

People act like this dude is a master recruiter when in reality he just sends the players money :roll: Camby? 1996 Umass Season? 2008 Memphis season? That is why hes never on a team for more than a few years, he just a scumbag that roams around so nothing can stick, he'll be coaching for another school in a few years. :roll: He was garbage in the NBA because he couldn't bribe teenagers by paying for their groceries and sending them Jordans. I can't deny his success but acting like what he's doing is a feat in coaching is a ****ing joke

Cal is a master recruiter. Year in and year out he gets the top talent in the nation to come play for him.

Not only that, but he seems to be great a great team "manager" too. He keeps all these stars happy with their playing time and amount of touches they get on the court, all the while making Elite 8's, Final Fours, NC games, and winning the NC with more freshman starters than most other teams in college basketball.

I'm not a UK fan. I cheered hard for KU this year against UK. I rooted for KU against Memphis in the '08 NC game. But don't tell me Cal can't recruit. He's a superlative recruiter, unequivocally the greatest the game has seen so far.

There is a fine line between recruiting players and giving them 40,000 dollars to play for your team

Oh, I didn't know that's what a full-ride cost these days.

Be more specific, are you speaking of World wide Wes or Nike bank account?

You don't really seem to grasp the evidence towards Cal. Cal was not handing out money to players at Umass. Cal did not force D-Rose to have someone else take the SAT's for him.
