The class that John Calipari recruited in 2009 was ranked as #1 and was said to be one of the greatest classes ever. The 2010 class that John Calipari recruited is again the #1 ranked recruiting class and while it may not be said to be one of the greatest ever, it is pretty damn good.
ESPN ranked the top 25 recruiting classes in 2010 and the Kentucky Wildcats are straight to the top, leaving every other school in their wake. The Cats have 4 players ranked in ESPN's top 100 as does the #2 school Ohio State. The difference is that the Cats have more near the top with #4 Brandon Knight, #9 Terrence Jones, #25 Enes Kanter, and #29 Doron Lamb. OSU has Jared Sullinger at #2 (whom Enes Kanter made his little girl in the Nike Hoops Summit game) Deshaun Thomas at #12, but they don't have another player in the top 30 and don't even come in with another recruit until Lenzelle Smith, Jr. at #80.
The Cats have two top 10 players and 4 guys in the top 30.No other team can boast that. Eloy Vargas is a transfer but he brings a strong resume to Kentucky and further solidifes the 4 spot. And the scary thing is that Cal still says he is not done and he is going to get one more player. The obvious need is at center in case Kanter gets into foul trouble. This year we do big things again. Go Cats.
