The Texas Longhorns have been mentioned as a team that could poach Kentucky head coach John Calipari. The Wildcats’ coach has struggled in recent years but is worth considering for Texas.
For starters, recruits are buying into his resume and track record of producing NBA players. The veteran coach has produced players like Marcus Camby, Derrick Rose, Anthony Davis, John Wall and many others.
Presently, Kentucky has the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation with four Top 10 recruits. That list includes the No. 1 and No. 2 overall players in the 2023 basketball recruiting class.
Given the experience Texas loses next season, Calipari would presumably hit the ground running on the recruiting trail to replace the Longhorns’ NBA departures. If the Longhorns were able to win over his 2023 class and retain No. 10 player Ron Holland and and No. 15 player AJ Johnson, their talent advantage overwhelm right away.
Here’s a look at who Calipari has committed to Kentucky.
