Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 879599, member: 1969"] To be fair, Calipari did deliver to his recruits on his first 3 classes in terms of getting them to the NBA, and generally where players expected (high lotto, mid lotto or first). Some can argue it was a chicken or egg thing, but his success rate was quite high, and higher than normal. Even guys playing roles like Bledsoe and Orton became first rounders after a year. What players were misses? But that being said, 2013 and 2014 are disasters for Calipari. Most of the high recruits are not getting into the lotto or first round, after one year... last year there was Cauley-Stein, Poythress, and Goodwin that certainly expected to be lotto type players... this year the Harrison's and others. Even the top recruits, Randle and Noel, fell a bit in terms of prospect, even if they still went high lotto. The success of 2010-2012 fuelled this recruiting class. But its going to turn based on the last two years. [/QUOTE]
