being an alum i must say he's a great coach, but was an average, AT BEST, recruiter and that's why they weren't a top 10 progam every year. They had their moments, but with the talent around here it could have been better. Hopefully the next guy can recruit better. Gone are the days of getting solid players and keeping them for 4 years to develop them and having that equal championships. That 02 team was the perfect storm that comes around once a lifetime. It's all about recruiting. Calipari can't coach a lick, but he stays with a final 4 calibur program year in year out cause of his recruits

All I remember of the last 5-6 years has been Vasquez keeping them a legit program, but not really doing a whole lot else. I do understand that all the high school guys who want to go straight to the nba are going to sign up with the program that will most likely give them the best exposure and not make a big deal about staying in school, like Coach Cal. If the NBA and Player's Union do a new deal which requires guys to be two years removed from high school or age 20, then I wouldn't be surprised if some of the those Kentucky recruits start heading else where.
