John Calipari and his Kentucky staff do a brilliant job of developing players. Most importantly they lay a foundation of toughness, teamwork and professionalism. But don't ignore the fact that he identifies future pros in recruiting as well as anybody.

Ernie DiGregorio — with arguably the most difficult, under duress, on the money, in stride, behind the back dime in the history of the game. Holy sh*t.🏀🤷♂️💪👁🔥

A basketball icon. I'm all about flashy efficiency. It is also called talent.
Hubie Brown preaching the gospel of the behind-the-back pass at Five Star in the ‘70’s is the height of swag. Demos by slinging 8 crispy ones of his own. Ultimate flex.

Santiago Vescovi truly won over my heart as one of my favorite Vols ever. Such a love him if he is on your team type player. I will take him in my foxhole. Played intelligent, angry and crafty.
For the third consecutive year,
@Vol_Hoops
' Santiago Vescovi had at least 220 PTS, 125 REB, 85 AST, 40 3PM & 35 STL.
No other SEC player in the last 30 seasons has posted that line more than twice.

Perhaps greatest quote from my dad. Definitely huge impression on me. As kid, I said "they should have won." My dad immediately retorted, "The team that should have won is the team that did win." Cut down a lot on any of my potential post game whining.

First thing I remember Coach Don Meyer saying to family when he got back home from winning 1986 NAIA championship was "I saw the freakiest basketball player I have ever seen." Dennis Rodman had 24 points and 35 rebounds (I think) in semifinals in Kansas City.

Remember when Coach Don Meyer in tears admitted to our family that
president of Lipscomb in mid 80s told him he couldn't have more blacks than whites on court or on team. Won a national championship in 86 w 3 blacks on court. Never respected my dad more. 2 from Huntsville.

Playing hard is a learned behavior. It is taught and socialized. Some players have bigger hearts and have more of an innate instinct for competing. DNA is real. But any player can always play harder.

Here is a throw back recruiting story: In early 70s Rick Majerus and my dad would hit up Milwaukee playgrounds and play dudes 2 on 2. Looking for something under the radar but prob just wanting to bust some ass. Dad would bust lefty Js and Rick was simply called Rick the Pick.
