Given all the talk about graduate transfer Reid Travis and a trio of sophomores giving Kentucky the experience it has lacked in recent one-and-done seasons, a calculation by stats savant Ken Pomeroy was startling.
Believe it or not, Kentucky is the second-most inexperienced team among the 353 in Division I. Only UNC Asheville is less experienced.
“I guess covering Kentucky, that does seem unusual,” Pomeroy said. “But I think nationally it’s tremendously unusual to have a roster of exclusively freshmen and sophomores.”
But what about Travis, but also PJ Washington, Quade Green and Nick Richards?
“I don’t think you could find another roster in the country that has all freshmen and sophomores except for one player,” Pomeroy said. “That’s what’s driving that.”
Monmouth Coach King Rice cited his team’s inexperience (No. 278 on Pomeroy’s experience rating) as a reason for its 0-7 start.
“Kentucky’s a young team, too,” he said. “I’ve watched a lot of tape of them. . . . They’re finding their way. Hopefully, we can come out and give them a game.”

So what we're saying here is we wished Cal would start recruiting lower on the recruiting rankings?

MH, no recruit kids who want to entertain the thought of being in college for a couple of years instead of focusing on being a 1NDone or bust. I understand that this may be an impossible ask for the top recruits.
I guess in a perfect world, Cal would still recruit the top kids but do away with the NBA draft obsession. Be like Ol' Roy and convince them to hang around two or three years and NOT RECRUIT OVER THEM and make them split time with incoming freshmen who are far inferior in terms of adjusting to college ball.
LOL, let's just go back to the 60's and early 70's and not let freshmen play unless it's for the freshmen only team.
The NBA really needs to change their policy on 1NDones.
