That's what Billy Reed says:
Given the all the realities and possibilities, John Calipari was the best hire the University of Kentucky could make. He is everything his predecessor wasn’t – and more. He will control the media, charm the fans, get more than his share of the nation’s best recruits, and hang new championship banners in Rupp Arena. And he will do it with style and humor and excitement.
In fact, I’ll go so far as to say I think Calipari will win an NCAA title in Lexington before Rick Pitino does in Louisville. Think about it. The last two seasons the Cardinals have let golden opportunities slip away. Now the retooling and recruiting game is on, both at UK and UofL, and Calipari is every bit as cutting-edge in every respect as Pitino.
