calipari John Calipari made headlines yesterday when he said the team's goal last season was to have eight players drafted. Not surprisingly, many Kentucky basketball fans went bonkers over the comment, without understanding Cal's point. Today, he hopped on Twitter to further explain what he meant, and to reiterate that last season's goal was to have eight players drafted, maybe nine:
I hate to drive you traditionalists crazy, but I'll say it again: our goal at the beginning of the season was to have eight players drafted. I'll be honest with you, at the time I may have said nine. My point when I said that was to have them all eat. When they asked how we do it, I told them to do this you will have to be a selfless team, share and do historic things on the court. They did. If Alex doesn't get hurt, eight are drafted. We fell short of a national title but this season was not disappointing to me. Have a great day!
So there ya go. Have a great day!
