You know things are weird in Lexington, Ky., when everyone is talking about football . But the recent (and extraordinary) success that the Cats have on the recruiting trail doesn't mean that basketball isn't getting any attention, either...

John Calipari and the University of Kentucky still might be waiting on the decision of standout prospect Andrew Wiggins, but the best recruiting class of 2013 (and perhaps in school history) is locked in to arrive on campus this fall...

Last week I went over Kentucky's chances of landing top 2014 recruiting prospect Andrew Wiggins. Today, however, the question is whether or not Wiggins choosing to go to school in Lexington this fall will make or break Kentucky's 2014 season...

If the Wildcats hope to turn things around this season, they will not be able to fall on the usual early season mantra of "wait til March" that is used for early season growing pains...
