Cal sees Poole fitting in mold of solid player

Kentucky Coach John Calipari described new signee Stacey Poole, Jr., as the kind of prospect he’s used to gain much success at Massachusetts and Memphis.
“A competitor,” Calipari said. “Plays multiple positions. Slasher. Athletic. In time, he could be our best perimeter defender.”

Recruiting analysts liken Poole to his father, Stacey Poole, Sr., who starred as a multi-talented wing for Florida  in the early 1990s.
When asked if UK might add other recruits in this week-long November signing period, Calipari said he hoped that could happen but it was impossible to know.
“At the end of the day, recruiting is the least of my worries,” the UK coach said. “I’m worried about Friday.”
Kentucky opens the season on Friday against Morehead State.
