Often I try to ask recruits’ parents what they liked — or didn’t like — about a school’s recruiting pitch. I was not surprised by what Tyrone and Denyse Maxey, the parents of Kentucky basketball signee Tyrese Maxey, told me about UK coach John Calipari.

Or at least I wasn’t at first.

“Basically Cal is telling the truth as opposed to some other places. The track record he has with guards was a big thing about helping Tyrese eventually go to the NBA,” Tyrone Maxey said.

The UK signee’s father said one other thing impressed him. Calipari has sent point guards Derrick Rose, John Wall, Brandon Knight, DeAaron Fox and others to the NBA but he’s also sent big men Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, Karl-Anthony Towns, Julius Randle, Willie Cauley-Stein and others to the NBA, too.

“He’s produced pros at every position,” Tyrone Maxey, a former SMU assistant coach, said. “That was very intriguing to us. He is real and his track record with players is really, really good.”

Tyrese Maxey’s mother, Denyse, said she felt Calipari was sincere with the family.
