The Cats are Flippin' Out

Just when some of us SEC fans were getting comfortable with a beatable Kentucky basketball team, they go out and get a fantastic coach and what some are calling the best recruiting class ever.

Well, damn.

According to Rivals.com, the Big Blue has 5 commitments out of the top 23 prospects-including the top two-and that’s just nuts.

Texas has 2 of the top 5, which is amazing, but nobody else is even close to the talent Kentucky has pulled this year.

Two thoughts: 1. They will be a complete force for the next 3 years and dominate the SEC and the country. Or: 2. They’re all going to compete against each other for the higher NBA draft pick and not come together as a team. As a result, they’ll all be gone to the NBA after one year and .

Who am I kidding? These kids are the new face of college basketball and they’re wearing Wildcat blue. It’s gonna be a tough year in the SEC, which, by the way, was possibly the worst conference in the league last year.

It sets the stage for John Calipari to continue winning every single conference game he coaches, which he did a billion times at Memphis in Conference USA. Unless Florida, LSU, Ole Miss or Tennessee can step it up, he’ll begin a new era of dominance for Kentucky in the SEC.
