...In New Hampshire, there are about half a dozen old-money boarding schools with student bodies of 300 or so, and it used to be that they recruited from their gym classes, but now, when you look at their distinguished alumni lists on their Wikipedia pages, you'll see that they are heavily populated with NBA basketball players. ....

Those New Hampshire boarding schools sure can "produce" blue chip college basketball prospects, can't they? When I was in high school in New Hampshire the late 1960s, the first string, Class L (Largest high schools) All-State center was in my gym class... and he was 6'4" tall and so I had to guard him because I was the second tallest in that gym class - and about the 15th tallest in a graduating class of about 300.

Last year, Calipari got, by one ranking, 4 of the top 17 recruits. One blue-chip player is not enough to reload Kentucky, but more will follow...
