John Calipari is firmly in roster building season. Calipari and his staff are hitting the road to visit multiple AAU events going on throughout the country and are still mining the transfer portal for potential talent to add to the roster. There is no real offseason in big-time college hoops.
However, being the head men’s basketball coach at Kentucky is more than just recruiting and in-game coaching. Quite often, the person holding that title is seen as the biggest influencer in the state. On Thursday, Calipari took some members of the team to Dawson Springs to visit a community that is still trying to recover from a deadly tornado that hit in December.
