Assistant Coach Rajon Rondo

Kentucky coach John Calipari tweeted this on Thursday night:

“John Wall (@jimmywa11), Rajon Rondo (@rajonrondo) & Eric Bledsoe (@ebled24) all plan to enroll in the fall if the lockout continues. Kaboom!”

Oh that Calipari did it again. Since I think there will be a lock out, it would be cool if all 3 of them were assistant coaches of Kentucky. Such a good recruiting ploy too. Calipari can just send a pro out on recruiting trips and get whichever high school kid he wants to fall right into his lap.

This is why John Calipari is the man. He thinks outside of the box. Great move Coach Cal.

Kentucky Extends Coach Cal

Kentucky will announce a two-year contract extension for men's basketball coach John Calipari Monday morning, giving him eight more years with the Wildcats, multiple sources told ESPN.com Sunday night.

Calipari's previous contract was $31.65 million for eight years. The new deal is expected to have a financial increase over his original contract.ESPN

Good, Coach Cal is one of the best coaches in college basketball if not the best. He is constantly having to juggle the players that come in and go every year. Last year he lost Brandon Knight, Josh Harrelson and DeAndre Liggins. But it's no big deal as he has Terrence Jones and Darius Miller return back to Lexington along with the best recruiting class in the country headlined by Anthony Davis, Michael Gilchrist and Marquis Teague.

Cal gets a lot of shit because of the revolving door policy he has and because everywhere he goes, trouble follows. However, in his defense he has never been found guilty of any issues that have happened.

It's Alright Kentucky Will Be Fine

Kentucky may be losing DeAndre Liggins, Scott Harrelson, Terrence Jones, and Brandon Knight but all is good in Lexington as 4 of the top recruits will be joinging Doron Lamb in the quest for a 2012 championship.

Kentucky is getting:
Anthony Davis a 6'9 PF
Michael Gilchrist a 6'6 SF
Marquis Teague a 6'1 PG
Kyle Wiltjer a 6'9 C

So there you have it, a replacement for everyone leaving. Also there is no guarantee that Liggins will stay in the draft.

I know this is wishful thinking with UNC being a powerhouse next year, and Duke getting Austin Rivers. But fuck it, calling it now, Kentucky is winning the championship.
