Have no fear; according to this picture from John Calipari, there are still plenty of spots open in the parking lot behind the Joe Craft Center.  "The good news is there is still room to camp out if you want to come out. This lot is still open," Cal wrote on Twitter. "I’ll be out recruiting today but I’ll be back tonight & hope to see everyone and then I’ll be back again on Thursday for the Tent City show."
