Let Jealous Jeff and the rest whine. In light of the fact that Kentucky, thanks to Cal, has almost total control of the recruiting market, their only recourse is to take cheap shots and call him names. When Cal finally wins a NC then they will have nothing left except to be silent.
But isn't it basically true? His actions don't exactly support the "team first" concept. Sure, while you're on the team, you have have to be a team player. But Calipari's philosophy is, as the article says, "draft first, team second." Who can argue that? I think Calipari himself has said as much.

No, they'll say he cheated. They won't say how. And they won't have any proof. But they'll say it all the same.

He does think that 5 first-round draft picks was the biggest day in Kentucky history.
What does that tell you about his priorities?
