ESPN's Myron Medcalf stirs the Duke/Kentucky rivalry pot. Baseball trying to come back from slump. Women's basketball still bleeding players.
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen of the Big Blue Nation, to the Tuesday Morning Quickies. Today’s news starts with ESPN writer Myron Medcalf, who apparently thinks John Calipari is taking a shot at Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski’s recruiting pitch. Allegedly, Coach K is fond of making the point that if players come to Duke, they are "set for life." Calipari said this the other day on CoachCal.com when he was trying to define his vision for the program:
I refuse to go in a home and paint a picture saying things like, "If you come with us you’ll be taken care of for the rest of your life by the program and by our alums" even though you may only be in school for a year or two.
