The UK men’s basketball program and head coach John Calipari will host their annual pro day in October, according to Evan Daniels of Scout.com.
The pro day(s) offer NBA scouts opportunities to check the Wildcats out prior to the season.

Several college basketball fans are not happy that Kentucky hosts a pro day. Here is an example:
@EvanDaniels how is this legal? It obviously offers recruiting advantage & defies the term amateurism. Why not let them sign with agents?

@scoutingU @EvanDaniels any school can set it up but not every school can execute it. No NBA scout is coming to Georgia for example.
