UK returning to it's roots should terrify CBB

The One & Done model that Calipari had employed had run it's course as a way to achieve lasting success in the college game. And make no mistake, for the better part of a decade it was a sight to behold. However, having to start from scratch every sing year just isn't sustainable, as evidenced by the last 5 years at Kentucky. Pope is going to go back to what was successful about the Pitino years, getting guys that fit a system, and sprinkling in a few transformational talents, while building a program that doesn't have the ups and downs. It's literally how it's always been done before and it's working well in places like Duke, UNC, Kansas, UConn, Baylor, Alabama, Tenn, etc. In all honesty, it should terrify CBB that Kentucky is embracing a return to it's roots, one that earned it 7 National Championships and nearly 2000 wins. As an aside, there are currently 21 former Kentucky players in the NBA playoffs and 3 former players have been named to the Olympic team so...suck it haters.
