I have absolutely zero experience building a collegiate roster, but here's what I would want Calipari to pursue moving forward...
If there's a few absolute studys in HS, maybe like DJ and Justin Edwards, bring those dudes in. Recruit them hard, make them a priority, get it done. But I'd probably stop at 2 or 3 of them
Then boom. It's portal time. Free agency. Experience, style of play, proven track record, etc. I build the rest of my roster from there.
Can we recruit some 4 stars that are on board to stay for a few years and develop - ABSOLUTELY. But don't fall in love with that concept, since those are typically the dudes who are going to hit the portal eventually.
