This is my problem with Calipari:

He takes the job at UK, which already has center Daniel Orton signed. Orton is a Top 20 player, academically qualified and a likely 2-3 year player. Cal's dribble drive offense really only plays one true big man. So Cal gets Demarcus Cousins to switch from Memphis to UK, knowing that Orton and Cousins will not be able to co-exist. So now it looks like Orton will be leaving for OU, Okie State or maybe Kansas.

Cal has essentially traded a qualified, multi-year top 20 big man for an unqualified, guaranteed one-and-done top 20 big man. Makes sense to me.

Did Memphis have probs with the whole APR/graduation rate deal? Shouldn't they have only like 3 scholarships to give or something with the way they graduate players?
