Since bowing out of the NCAA tournament, Calipari has received commitments from three elite prospects: E.J. Montgomery (2018), Ashton Hagans (2019) and Tyrese Maxey (2019). Throw in DJ Jeffries (2019), who committed before the first weekend of the tournament, and Kentucky has a fourth commitment in a two-month span, all of whom are five-star prospects in their respective classes. He’s also made up a ton of ground with several other targets in the 2019 class.
But is this Calipari’s best run in recruiting?

2009: First Class
In his first season at Kentucky, Cal locked up John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe and Darnell Dodson in a 41-day span.
