Why Recruits Keep Coming to Kentucky

Jonathan Tjarks has a nice write up on what makes Coach Cal a player's coach who is looking out for their best interests.  


In 2002, Calipari famously tore up Dajuan Wagner's Memphis scholarship after his freshman year because he believed Wagner shouldn't pass up the NBA riches he would earn as a projected first-round draft pick. Ever since, any kid dreaming of a sneaker contract has thought, there's a coach who gets it.


As Calipari tells his players, "if you want to do what's best for me and my family, you will stay in school. If you want to do what's best for you and your family, you will go pro."
