On Tuesday’s episode of the RoundBall Podcast, Hunter Dickinson noted that a key reason he decided to visit Kentucky was because Cal was hiring a new staff member and thought he should meet him.
On Wednesday, Jack Pilgrim of Kentucky Sports Radio reported that John Calipari is expected to hire coaching veteran John Welch to his staff.
Welch will reportedly take one of five on-court positions and will be in charge of game planning and workouts.
Pilgrim noted that Welch was in Lexington interviewing for the position last weekend, and an official announcement of the hire is expected soon.
