Basketball recruiting at the top level is national way more than football because you only need 15 players and 5 or 6 of them are just practice fodder anyway.

Yeah, that's my point. I don't think McCaffrey is established enough nationwide to do well recruiting at Kentucky since he would have to go out of state. At Villanova he'd be in much better shape since not only is he familiar with recruiting in the area but there is enough talent in Philly alone to fall back on not to mention the rest of the state, NYC, DC, and Baltimore. McCaffrey makes sense for a lot of programs but not for Kentucky. They need a bigger name if they ever want to live up to their lofty expectations.
