8 years ago today. One of the best regular season primetime performances I’ve ever seen from a Duke team.

Darius Acuff Jr. says he chose Arkansas because of John Calipari’s track record of developing NBA star guards, including MVPs Derrick Rose and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
“It was all Cal. I credit Coach Chin too, assistant coach [Ronald] Chin Coleman. It was them two for sure. The guards, seeing that history it's hard to pass that up. He got I think two MVPs now with Derrick Rose and Shai”
“Seeing all them guys make it to the NBA. Some guys they averaged 13, 14 points and they top 5, top 10 picks. So seeing the history behind that and like I said earlier, Cal, he's not just a coach, he’s a great guy off the court. He look out for you in real life. That was the biggest thing for me. That relationship was different from anybody else”
Guards coached by Calipari and their NBA draft years:
- Derrick Rose (2008)
- Tyreke Evans (2009)
- John Wall (2010)
- Eric Bledsoe (2010)
- Brandon Knight (2011)
- Devin Booker (2015)
- Jamal Murray (2016)
- De’Aaron Fox (2017)
- Malik Monk (2017)
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (2018)
- Tyler Herro (2019)
- Tyrese Maxey (2020)
- Cason Wallace (2023)
