March 17, 201610 yr We are not Kentucky where we are recruiting the one-and-dones. We are recruiting the Russ Smiths of the world; he's a 2-star athlete who becomes a first team college A-A. Gorgui Deng is starting for the Minnesota Timberwolves but wasn't ranked in the top 25. Terry Rozier playing for the Boston Celtics wasn't ranked in the top 60. So we have a different way we recruit and it didn't make any sense what was going on, how these women infiltrated our program is very disturbing to me and why did AG (Andre McGee) get tied into this. Throwing elbows: John Calipari responds to Rick Pitino’s comments | Lexington Herald-Leader
March 17, 201610 yr Yeah I'm not sure what you're getting at about what he's insinuating? @LRCW, I can't speak for certain, but I don't remember a one and done type that Pitino has actively pursued lately. I don't follow recruiting as close as many, though.
March 17, 201610 yr Yeah I'm not sure what you're getting at about what he's insinuating? @LRCW, I can't speak for certain, but I don't remember a one and done type that Pitino has actively pursued lately. I don't follow recruiting as close as many, though. The ones that @Wireman mentioned, but I don't think anyone really saw Teague as a one and one, plus the PG that ended up playong overseas I believe. I can't remember his name.
March 17, 201610 yr Trey Lyles Marquis Teague Nerlans Noel DeAngelo Russell (I think) You're right. Except I didn't remember hearing about Nerlens.
March 17, 201610 yr Just like 3 weeks ago or so, Pitino bragged about his own type of one and done players (Lewis and Lee).
March 17, 201610 yr The ones that @Wireman mentioned, but I don't think anyone really saw Teague as a one and one, plus the PG that ended up playong overseas I believe. I can't remember his name. Sebastian Telfair?
March 17, 201610 yr Sebastian Telfair? UK fans should be glad he went after Telfair. That's what landed Rondo at UK.
March 17, 201610 yr VJ King is a one and done, at least he is before he lands in Louisville. First I've heard anyone say he was a one and done.
March 17, 201610 yr Any coach would be dumb not to try for the one and done type players. I'd say some motivation for coaches speaking out against it is 1.) They genuinely think it is hurting the college game, and or the kids or 2.) They are bitter because they don't land them.
March 17, 201610 yr Cal mentioned Louisville on ESPN Sunday night. Pitino mentioned Kentucky on ESPN Tuesday morning. This is what they do. Why do we put anything into any of this?
