In more years than not since John Calipari has been on the job at Kentucky, he's finished with the No. 1 recruiting class in the country. The Hall of Famer bolstered that track record officially on Tuesday as the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings went final for the 2020 cycle, with the Wildcats finishing on top for the sixth time in Calipari's 11 years leading UK.
The Wildcats edged out North Carolina and Duke to claim the No. 1 spot, thus ending a four-year drought during which Duke laid claim to the top spot in three of the four years and Memphis last year slid in to boast the top class, led by No. 1 overall recruit James Wiseman. Kentucky finished second in each of the years during that span.
Kentucky's class is a big one out of necessity after losing each of its starters this offseason to the NBA Draft, but it's as impressive as it is large. Led by five-star recruits BJ Boston and Terrence Clarke, Calipari and Co. have four top-30 incoming talents -- and all six commitments are ranked inside the 247Sports Composite top-60.
