Joker Phillips held court today at the SEC Media Days and he was asked about playing second fiddle to John Calipari’s basketball program.
Joker told the media in reference to the basketball program, “I sell our basketball program. You’d be crazy to try and fight that.”
Phillips continued, “We want to hitch our wagon to our basketball program,”
Phillips also went into detail of how much John Calipari has helped with football recruiting.
One example of Calipari’s help was five minutes before John Calipari walked onto court to coach the Dominican team, he called in to talk to a football recruit with Joker.
Cal also let football recruits attending the North Carolina basketball game come into the locker room before the game.
I commend Joker Phillips for turning the inevitable basketball question into a positive for Kentucky Football and everyone has to love John Calipari’s willingness to help sell every Kentucky program.
