Around SBN: Dan Marino Starting College For Developmentally Disabled

Assigned Reading: UK's recruiting might be too good

As we pass deadline day for underclassmen withdrawing from the NBA Draft, The Lexington Herald-Leader's Mark Story reports on what we all have been chatting about the past few weeks regarding Kentucky basketball: that the Wildcats are fast becoming nothing more than a short-term haven for top flight one-and-donners.

It's too bad, really, but with John Calipari branding himself as a purveyor of NBA ready point guards who simply need something to do before becoming elgible to play in The League, it's clear this is the direction the program is headed in.

Now five seasons into the one-and-done rule, Story offers some nice statistics on blue-chip laden teams, suggesting that UK's approach probably isn't going to lead to One Shining Moment.

I don't think so as he has yet to win a National Title

so his theory of how to recruit has not born the top prize yet

Though he will have some great years, he will have some very good ones with young studs

I just don’t put too much trust in these young guns as the post-season goes on
