Cauley-Stein Explains Why It's Calipari, Not Kentucky That Drew Recruits
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – A one-on-one interview with former Kentucky star Willie Cauley-Stein shows exactly why Wildcats fans were wrong when...
Pitino certainly could recruit like Cal. But he and Cal never got the amount of recruits they did till they were at Kentucky.Was John Wall coming here before Cal? Cousins? Bledsoe? Davis? KAT? MKG?
Having a gig at UK certainly helps, but let’s not kid ourselves and pretend 99.9% of athletes care about UK history or tradition.
Can a coach recruit at UK and fill a team with decent players? Sure. Can they recruit like Cal?
There isn’t a better recruiter in all of college basketball and I doubt we see much of a slowdown at Arky.
Who cares? The issue was never recruits. It was coaching. Which he is awful at.Was John Wall coming here before Cal? Cousins? Bledsoe? Davis? KAT? MKG?

I will not miss the summer of hype, followed by the “temper expectations” talk.Even if Cal was the main reason for getting all these five stars then he got the wrong recruits for a place like UK. Would rather have 4 star recruits that can shoot, dribble, play defense, pass and play team ball. Just saw where Cal is getting a little worried about the AR fans expectations. He told them to tone down their expectations. They already have sold out their arena for the year. Cal said he was trying to tell them they have only had a team for a few months and it is going to take patience and time.
He's in position to land a monster class. He already has a commitment from Acuff. He's in a great position with Dybantsa, Peterson, Thomas, Wilson, and Sealy. It's why I was hoping Cal wouldn't crap the bed until after next season when a bunch of those guys would have joined a sophomore Quaintance in Lexington.Was John Wall coming here before Cal? Cousins? Bledsoe? Davis? KAT? MKG?

Can't adapt, has no humility, and can't coach is a better descriptionAwww, bless their hearts. They keep conflating recruiting and winning. Of course Cal can recruit. He just won't adapt, show any humility, or coach effectively in the modern era.
Well I'll bet coach k and the current duke coach would disagree.Was John Wall coming here before Cal? Cousins? Bledsoe? Davis? KAT? MKG?

Ccc is nothing more than an over paid used car salesman. Nothing more important than his 5 star recruits, even though they weren't basketball playersNo young guys over the past 20 years knows about kentucky tradition, cares about kentucky tradition. Only kids from Kentucky, which Cal pushed away. He did not see a need to teach the life lessons to kentucky kids like he did his 5* guys. He did not want to tear down Edwards, bradshaw, wagner but had no trouble leaving Sheppard on the bench and not starting one of the best players.
CAL is a piece of CRAP. Plain and simple. He will say whatever and then backtrack or tell someone you misunderstood me. Glad he is away from here. He does not deserve to be in the rafters of Rupp. He will be but I do not think he deserves it.
Cal is 66 years old, he’s lost his fastball and won’t be in this game much longer. His best recruiting years are well behind him and his success was greatly benefitted by having the UK logo on his jacket.Was John Wall coming here before Cal? Cousins? Bledsoe? Davis? KAT? MKG?
