Is Kentucky’s recruiting slipping in the SEC?
That was a topic of discussion among an ESPN panels in a recent article on ESPN.com which you can find here (behind a paywall).
Myron Medcalf, Jeff Borzello, John Gasaway and Joe Lunardi went back and forth on Kentucky’s struggles last year and whether or not last season’s struggles were a sign of things to come or a rare occurrence.
Lunardi pointed to COVID restrictions, lack of fans in the arenas, and more as the reason for Kentucky’s struggles.
“For me, it wasn’t a coincidence that Kentucky and Duke — arguably the most notable “one-and-done” programs in the country — missed the NCAA tournament last season,” Lunardi wrote.
