Rather than regressing, John Calipari is on a recruiting roll — with more to come | Lexington Herald Leader

John Calipari isn’t letting up.

No, sir. No way, no how, not now. Remember that hot take claiming Duke was flat-out dominating college hoops recruiting? Coach K is the one-and-done king? Color that outdated. Swaggy Cal is back, wooing recruits, pumping out tweets, signing five-star after five-star after five-star.

Wednesday, standout class of 2019 point guard Tyrese Maxey, 13th in the most recent 247Sports individual rankings, became the latest prime prospect to pledge his future to the Big Blue.

The 6-foot-3, 185-pounder from Garland, Texas, cooled speculation he will re-classify into the class of 2018. His preference, for now at least, is to play his senior season at South Garland High School before arriving at the Joe Craft Center for Camp Cal’s 2019 summer sessions.
