The ones that got away: The missing pieces that cost UK titles

I have a theory that almost any UK basketball team could have won a national championship under John Calipari if the Cats had just one more weapon. Maybe UK missed out on a recruit or a player went to the NBA Draft that surprised the staff, but nearly every year since the 2010 season the Cats have been missing just one player. A couple years the Cats were a player off from having a perfect season.

I will tell you those players and how things would have been different, but let’s remember we’re keeping realistic expectations. We can’t say Anthony Davis could have returned in 2013 to help UK go back-to-back.
