Coach John Calipari usually comes out with a lengthy recruiting manifesto every year to let recruits know his philosophy about being a Kentucky Wildcat.
This year, he has a far more simpler message.
Here is an excerpt from CoachCal.com:
I’m so excited about our team this year. We could have the best backcourt, and maybe the best frontcourt in the country. I think we will have depth, athleticism and shooting. I couldn’t be more excited about the challenge. Then I asked our guys coming back: Why not? Why not do something crazy like last year?
As far as recruiting, if you watch our teams – not only last year, but the other years also – you’ll notice players have improved. Nobody is left behind. We’ve had 40 scholarship-recruited players, 25 have been drafted by the NBA and another handful are in Europe, the D-League or still here on campus. I think that tells the story.
Now I’ll say this to all the recruits and their families: Who wants to be next?

It is hard to argue with Kentucky’s record of making players better and give them the opportunity to make a lot of money in the future.
Of course, as Coach Cal says, it isn’t for everyone.
