The fall recruiting period officially began on Friday, Sept. 9 and Kentucky head coach John Calipari is making his presence felt all across the country. The 63-year-old and his staff are hitting the recruiting trail with the energy of hungry up-and-comers.
It hasn’t even been a full week since in-person contact was allowed by coaches, but Calipari and company have wasted little time zeroing in on their top targets. From five-star high school seniors to unknown in-state freshmen, the staff is covering all of its bases. Kentucky appears to be taking a more aggressive approach to recruiting, looking beyond the oldest class of current prospects.
