John Calipari says Kentucky is “ahead of the game” on the recruiting trail

The world of recruiting has come to a halt, as coaches are currently not allowed to meet with or host recruits during the coronavirus outbreak. Instead, coaches are only allowed to speak with recruits via text message, phone, and/or video chat mediums such as FaceTime and Skype.

For some schools, it’s a major punch in the gut, as many top tier programs are still scrambling to close out their 2020 recruiting classes with the few elite prospects still on the board. If not high school prospects, transfers and graduate transfers are not allowed to take visits to schools at this tine.
