Yesterday, Drew outlined some of Rick Pitino’s biggest lies over the years, and not even 24 hours later, we have another to add to this list. While discussing the one-and-done rule during an appearance on SportsCenter this morning, Pitino said seven high school basketball players told him they were coming to Kentucky only to go straight to the pros.

“When I was at Kentucky, I had seven high school basketball players told me they were coming and instead went to the pros out of high school,” Pitino said.

If you’re thinking that doesn’t sound right, you are correct.
