A Calipari / Kentucky Stat

[Ricker]

• Fland is the 15th 5-star point guard Calipari’s recruited during his 15 seasons at Kentucky. The only years he didn’t bring a 5-star PG? 2012 and 2019.
• He’s the 54th (!) 5-star recruit to commit to Kentucky in the Calipari era.
  
  I didn't know where to stick this factoid that Field of 68 pointed out, but it is instructive on how to do less with more. Aggregated, it is really stunning recruiting.

So if they stay 2 years on average he usually has a 5* PG backing up a 5* PG.

Came across a duke stat this week that they've had 8% of the Burger AA's all time. 90 in total.

Give Duke some credit, since UConn won it's first championship in 1999, they have the second most NCAAT Championships at three. UK only matches the Canadian Oranges at one.

That will decease dramatically now that their lead recruiter, Dick Vitale, will not turning weekly college basketball broadcasts into Duke recruiting infomercials. Vitale was far more critical to Dukes recruiting success than anyone in including Coach K. Now both are gone.

Yeah when you talk to these 16 and 17 year olds they all say the main reason they went to Duke was …. Dick Vitale.

54 5* in what, 14 years? Truly insane to only have 1 title with that amount of talent. Like impossibly bad to only have 1 title lol.

Calipari is a basketball pimp, not so much a basketball coach

And in those 14 years we have about as many titles as we do 5* burger boys. Ill take the titles.
