Continuing the Tradition

As long as Calipari is at the throne, there will always be another star player playing at Rupp Arena in Kentucky blue. His unprecedented success a recruiter has made him the most sought-after and critiqued man in college hoops today, and there’s nobody else I’d rather have.

Next year, with Hamidou Diallo’s recent departure to test the NBA waters, that leaves Jemarl Baker to run the shooting guard position. Baker possesses that Doron Lamb-like shooting accuracy, and seems as if he will be a multi-year player.  It’ll be exciting to see what Cal has in store for this kid and for the team next year.
