John Calipari checks in on top prospects this week

This week marked the first week college programs could be out for the Fall live evaluation period. College coaches, like John Calipari, sat in high school gyms around the country, brandishing their logos across their chests, so their top basketball recruits could see them.

Fall is a telling time of year for recruiting. In the summer, college coaches are able to choose an event where they can see multiple players. In the Fall, you can get more of a feel for a program’s recruiting board because a coach is – most of the time – only able to visit one recruit at a time.
