I love Coach John Calipari, but the University of Kentucky won’t win any more national titles with 18-year-old and 19-year-old kids. We have to have some juniors on the team to win tough, close, stressful games.

Calipari will win 28 to 30 games this season and maybe the SEC championship. He gets kids to come to UK to try out for the NBA. He needs them to stay in school and try to be No. 1 in titles won.
