Bill Walton had a message to future Kentucky recruits during last night's Utah-Cal game on ESPN.
Following his colleague Dave Pasch's recollection of the two broadcasters calling the Kentucky-Utah game out in Las Vegas together last season, Walton took the liberty of telling potential Wildcats to consider the schools of the Pac-12 instead.
"With Kentucky up against it now with their fans turning on them because they were expressing their opinions," Walton said, "
I just want the players who are considering going to Kentucky (to know) that we'll welcome you out here in the conference of champions."

Note: The Pac-12 has only two NCAA Tournament championships since the UCLA dynasty ended in the 70s: UCLA won in 1995 and Arizona won in 1997. However, Kentucky matched both of those titles the following season and added another in 2012, bringing the score to Pac-12 Conference 2, Kentucky 3 in the modern era.
