When he’s out recruiting a new batch of potential one-and-doners, Kentucky’s John Calipari is very honest about his goal of making his guys NBA-ready as quickly as possible.

ESPN basketball analyst Jay Bilas likes the approach. When asked about Coach Cal’s penchant for using the NBA as a recruiting tool, he said:

“All of them do. I tend to think John is one of the most honest about it. John’s out front (with) ‘We want to prepare you to be a pro.’ Nothing wrong with that. Kids want to be pros. It’s OK to pursue that dream.”

Calipari should have two more players taken in the first five picks tonight.
