Great post! I think it's easy to justify why we are recruiting at this level and were not before Cal got here. It's because kids come to play for the coach and not the school. Unless you are/we're a kid born and raised in KY and have always dreamed of playing for the Cats, you're picking UK because of Calipari. Plain and simple. I'm not naive enough to think that these kids are coming to UK because of our history and tradition. Hell, most of these kids don't know much about either. They don't know who Kyle Macy is, or Jack Givens, Dan Issell, Kenny Walker, Sean Woods, John Pelphry, etc. They don't have a clue who these guys are and most could care less. All they know is that Cal is there and that's all that matters to them. Any UK fan that says otherwise is either lying or naive. It's all about Calipari. Same with any other school as well. Unless you were born and raised as a fan of that school, you're picking your school based on the coach. It's just the way it is these days.
