Calipari dismisses notion he should avoid one-and-dones

Seth Davis of Sports Illustrated talks to a few top college coaches, who are out on the recruiting trail.

One is John Calipari.

Davis asked Cal about one-and-dones:

Still, don’t expect Calipari to alter his recruiting philosophy anytime soon. He scoffed at my suggestion that he should look to recruit a few players who won’t be one-and-done but can still contribute during a four-year career. “If you recruit guys who you know are going to be there for four years, you’ll probably be in the NIT, and that’s not a good thing at Kentucky,” he said. “You recruit the best players you can, and if someone is going to take them in the first round, I tell them to go.”
