Calpari Makin' Moves

-It's another day in the neighborhood of UK hoops and new coach John Calipari has pulled yet another ripe fruit from the recruiting tree and nabbed John Wall, a top-5 player in the nation and his third top-15 recruit of the offseason.

No doubt the guy has proven he is able to compete on the biggest stage off the court, now it's a matter of time before he can prove that all this talent will bring on the court success. It's been an amazing about-face for the UK faithful in the past three months. Going from the firing of Billy Gillespie to the hiring of Cal to the pristine class he is bringing in. I wouldn't be surprised if a few fans showed up at hospitals for treatment from being delirious.

Bottom line, the guy is single-handedly resurrecting the Kentucky name all over the place, and he's the right man for the job. Talent-wise, the team is Final Four-calibur, and outside of Wall's misdemeanor breaking and entering charge, none of the players seem to be getting into trouble. But as of now, Wall is the final piece to a 2009-2010 squad that should be top-10.

Now the question will be if they can play.
