Kentucky Coach John Calipari is attending the recruiting camps in Cincinnati and Cleveland this week.
Play in Cleveland for the King City Classic began on Wednesday. Calipari was among the coaches spotted in the stands of CSU’s Wolstein Center. During the morning session, Cleveland Cavalier star LeBron James was seen leaving his seat on the court to sit with Calipari for about 30 minutes.
Calipari also used his Twitter to say he also met with Nike officials in Cleveland. They talked about possible new uniforms for Kentucky next season, Calipari tweeted.
