Key Wildcats player updates club after loss. I go! A key Kentucky Wildcats player updates his club after loss to… Kentucky Wildcats coach John Calipari was the face of the unique era of men’s college basketball after the NBA changed his draft eligibility requirements when he won high school talent ready to move on to the pros after just one season.Calipari said Tuesday that the introduction of the transfer portal is essentially the same as a one-time measure, because players can compete at a school for a season and then enter the portal.
“It’s also a one-time thing,” he said on ESPN’s “SportsCenter.” “Everyone was upset that a young player came and only stayed for a year.
Well, now we’re doing it with older players. It’s the same thing as one time.Calipari said there were dozens of players in the transfer portal who didn’t have scholarships and claimed other head coaches were holding on to extra scholarships in case a good transfer player became available, hurting the high school players.
The Wildcats general said the NCAA should allow players to transfer one time without penalty and play only four years out of a five-year window, according to ESPN. “The issue becomes: I think a child should be able to move once without fines,” he added.
“If you make a mistake or you’re not where you want to be, I understand.”Calipari has been coach since the 2009/2010 season. Kentucky became national champions in 2012.
