The Kentucky Wildcats are definitely the most fearsome team in College Basketball this season. It has topped all pre-season rankings. Their roster boasts of nine five-star recruits spanning three years. John Calipari has the opposite problem of Coach K at Team USA: Too much size with too many players!

The Kentucky roster has three seven footers from three different recruiting classes: Willie Cauley-Stein, Dakari Johnson and incoming freshman Karl Towns, Jr. They have two five-star point guard recruits in Andrew Harrison and freshman Tyler Ulis.

The logjam forces coach John Calipari to consider the two-platoon system, as he told the Courier-Journal:

"I think so. I think so. There may be games it's difficult to win (doing that). The only ones that are the most important to win are those last six. So, yeah. And I think what happened here was, the greatest thing is everyone had a chance to show they should be playing more or less, they should be playing or not playing. You can't say, 'Well, I've never had an opportunity.' The games were on national television against professional players, and real games with fans. So there it is. Now, what are you as a player? And then you can be honest.

Is this the deepest team he has coached?

"I've had some teams that I've played nine or 10 guys and teams did well, did fine. They weren't as talented as this, but there were nine and 10 guys. I've also played five and six guys. I've done both. I mean, I've never two-platooned. I've never played this much pressure or maybe this much zone. This could be a terrific zone team. I've never done that, but I'm not afraid of it, and that's the challenge of what we do. Every year, the team is different. No one's going through this."

Last year, Kentucky brought in the strongest recruiting class in college basketball history and they were brash enough to declare that they would go undefeated, even selling 40-0 T-shirts. They failed to do that and the season almost ended in embarrassing fashion, until they recovered in the NCAA tournament and went all the way to the Championship game, losing to Connecticut.

They don't want to claim 'undefeated' now, but this is, by far, a better team than last year's group that was one game short of the title.
