Calipari said the turnover in college basketball in the transfer portal era has changed his philosophy on assembling rosters.
"You may think I'm crazy, but I told my staff I only want to have eight or nine guys," Calipari told Robinson, who is now executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches. "They're leaving anyway, and why would I develop a kid for someone else? Why would I do that?"
Calipari said he has talked to other coaches who have discussed similar strategies.

It looked like one of our players may have got hurt (leg or ankle?) near the dugout during the postgame celebration on the field? I couldn't see who it was or had bad it was.
Ross has done an excellent job. I really wish he had convinced Scott and Jones to stay where they could start, compete and win. Trying to be Excited for the season but already dreading the end as it just isn’t what it use to be.
