Or maybe these guys finally see UK/Calipari for what it is, a showcase and not much else. When you get most of the top recruits and don’t win ships it will eventually reverse course, albeit a little less severe than a place like UConnVernon Carey just cut UK so even more likely they get involved
Dont worry, remember Kemba Walker ended Pitt basketball.Anywhere but Pitt. I honestly don’t get the attraction.

Eh - Pitt is kinda on everyone right now. There's obviously lots of playing time to be had there, it's the ACC.
That's it though.

UK still has top 5 recruiting classes. That said, the top kids are kinda over UK at this point. This is going to to be the 4th year in a row UK hasn't signed a top 5 kid. It sounds insane to criticize their recruiting but when you are trying to rely on 1 and dones, you really need the elite of the elite to commit. But they are going to Duke and other random schools nowadays. UK will always be relevant but relying on freshman ranked 10-25 is not enough to be a top 5 team. When Cal started out every top kid he signed was going lottery. And non top 10 kids like Patterson, Bledsoe, Booker, Cauley-Stein were all getting drafted early. The past couple of years, there have been a bunch of 5 star recruits have busted and I think it has hurt their rep.
Don't ever undere$timate Capel.Anywhere but Pitt. I honestly don’t get the attraction.
and I find it even more amazing the schools(Duke) that are confident in their way of still doing it. I do think Cal missing out on guys is more about the money trail than recruits being "over" Kentucky.It’s amazing what FBI investigations will do in regards to changing the landscape.
