Recruiting elite recruits is a tough game that’s only getting tougher.
While the duo of John Calipari and Kentucky basketball has proven to be a force on the recruiting trail, it’s never easy to go against the likes of Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and the who’s who of the sport.
Now, Kentucky has a new adversary that’s already proving to be as fierce as any Hall of Fame coach.
It’s no school, but instead the NBA’s G-League professional pathway program.
Over the last year, the G-League has signed Jalen Green, Jon Kuminga, Isaiah Todd and Daishen Nix, all recruits Kentucky had some level of interest in.
