Cal does not have that problem and won't have that problem as long as he is at Kentucky. 2 year 2 drafts and how many draft picks? Add in the current class of soon to be NBA millionaires and who wouldn't want to play for Cal? Tv every game, UK fan base, guaranteed chance at conference and national titles and lottery draft picks galore.
Elwood, he has taken teams at Memphis to the NIT with McDonald's All-Americans on the floor and he has also taken medicare teams to the NIT. Now you can hang from his sack and scream that he is the greatest coach in the country if that makes you feel better, but it still doesn't change the facts. He guy is a great recruiter and mediocre coach.

Not one time have you ever seen Cal have a surprise team. Never a team with average talent make a decent run. Basically you could make the arugment that he has underachieved at UK using the things you just posted. How many NBA players and he still doesn't have a ring? Heck look at what he had at Memphis and he couldn't win C-USA. Pitino, Huggins and Crean owned that conference. The bottom line is that without Big East expansion, Cal doesn't end up at UK.
