          The Kentucky Wildcats have the top-ranked 2013 recruiting class. That statement has become mundane for John Calipari, who has had a top-two class every year he has been Kentucky's coach. But in some circles this class is being touted as Coach Cal's best yet, and with good reason. So far in this class, the Wildcats have landed five commits -- three of which are rated in the top 10 of the ESPN 100 -- and are being touted by some as the best group Calipari has assembled at UK.
