UK moves to No. 1 in team rankings
Coach John Calipari has done it again. In his second recruiting season at Kentucky, he has landed a second consecutive No. 1 recruiting class. The late additions of five-star forward Terrence Jones and four-star forward Eloy Vargas pushed the Wildcats ahead of Calipari's former school Memphis.

Kentucky isn't the only SEC school that recruited well this year. Five SEC schools are in the national rankings, placing the conference in a tie with the ACC with the most schools represented in the rankings. The ACC, however, has three of its schools ranked in the top 10; Kentucky and Tennessee are the SEC programs in the top 10.
The Big 12 and Big East have four schools apiece in the rankings. The Big Ten and the Pac-10 have three representatives each. Memphis represents Conference USA with the No. 2 recruiting class in the country.
