As he prepares for his first season at Arkansas, John Calipari said he won't stack his rosters with an abundance of talent, which was his tactic during his lengthy tenure at Kentucky.
quote:
On the latest episode of his "Ways to Win" podcast with former Oregon State head coach Craig Robinson this week, Calipari said the turnover in college basketball in the transfer portal era has changed his philosophy on assembling rosters.
quote:
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?"
quote:
Calipari said he has talked to other coaches who have discussed similar strategies.
Wonder how prevalent this becomes

Good call. Injuries never happen in sports and there is no possible way this backfires and leaves them with a 6 or 7 man rotation for an extended period of time.
