Recruiting can be a funny business. A few weeks ago, Kofi Cockburn seemed clearly open to transferring to Kentucky but according to multiple reports, John Calipari turned him down.
Why?
Well, BBN seemed to think it was because Cal was certain he was going to sign Jalen Duren.
Didn’t happen: Duren announced his choice Friday and he’s going to play for Penny Hardaway and Memphis.
What makes this even better, aside from the sense that there was a major misCALculation, at least according to Planet Kentucky, is that Memphis has long nursed a grudge for Calipari, who not only left the Tigers but took promising talent with him.
