Drew did a great job of hitting on the highlights from John Calipari's press conference earlier. If you don't believe me, scroll down. If you do believe me, scroll down a little further to see one of the best headlines you'll see all day about a mayor. Anyway, John Calipari had a few other interesting tidbits to share during the SEC teleconference, and one of them was about recruiting at Kentucky. Despite a non-stop string of #1 recruiting classes since his arrival, Calipari admits that it's not always positive news when the phone rings and it's a recruit on the other end.
'If you think we get everyone we want, you're out of your mind. We hear 'no' a lot."
I don't know if I put much weight in the use of "a lot," but we have seen Kentucky miss on a few prospects over the years that Calipari and his staff would have really liked. Last year's recruiting missed on perhaps more than usual. Here are the top 3 players I can recall Kentucky wanting and not getting (feel free to add to the list) in recent years:
Andrew Wiggins
Shabazz Muhammad
Alex Oriakhi
