From Eric Lindsey of CoachCal.com: “Jason King of Bleacher Report spent the entire week with Kentucky last week as the Wildcats traveled to Auburn for a game and then hosted Florida for its ESPN College GameDay matchup.
On Thursday, King released his piece from his behind-the-curtains view. And if you ask me, it was tremendous.
The piece isn't flattering or fluffy. Instead, it's just a good, honest, open look at what John Calipari and these kids face at UK on a year-in and year-out basis. There are unrealistic expectations to face, unrelenting pressure and bad habits to break. Coach Cal and his kids have to deal with all that all while changing under a shorter timetable than most.
If you're a Kentucky fan, the story may leave a sour taste in your mouth at the end because of the Florida loss, but I think you're missing the point if you let that overshadow what I believe King tried to capture, and that's that this place isn't easy.”
