For just about every other college basket program in America the addition of an off-court recruiting assistant to the staff wouldn’t be much news at all.
But the Cats poaching Jai Lucas from Texas has the hoops world buzzing. When the rumors began to swirl about Lucas potentially coming to Kentucky in some assistant coach fashion I put out some feelers just to see what some recruiting folks thought about how he might fit into Calipari’s empire.
The feedback was unanimous praise of how influential they believe Lucas’ can be with his already elite reputation on the AAU circuit coupled with the resources he’ll have access to at the University of Kentucky.
