Due To a Dispute..

We are no longer selling the Generation One Caliparti Time T Shirt.  We are in talks with several people about expanding the caliparti merchandise line.  Stay tuned, fans.

Mrs. Keightley Has Her ‘Caliparti’ Shirt. Do You?

We were honored to sit down and speak with Hazel Keightley, wife of the late, Mr. Wildcat Bill Keightley.  She spoke glowingly of  John Calipari saying he was extremely kind to her family.  We sat and talked all day with her and someday we’ll share her stories of Mr. Bill.  We were flatted when she said, “I’ll wear it to the first game.”

That’s right, Hazel, you know where the Caliparti is.

It's Caliparti Time!!

It's Caliparti Time!!

Supplies are extremely limited to about 30 left.  Get yours at our online store before the limited edition Generation One runs out!

2010 Recruiting Prospects

I’m back baby!  It’s been a wild week with moving, law school, and trying to keep the office’s African Cichlid tank clean.  Whispers are everywhere about 2010 recuits (and beyond) so I figured I would give Caliparti fans an update on some of our top targets for next year.

Enjoy.

Brandon Knight

Brandon Knight

Brandon Knight (5 Star)
Ht: 6-3 Wt: 175

The number one overall prospect in the class of 2010, Knight is a scoring point guard.

Per Scout:

One of the nation’s finest prospects. Won the Gatorade National POY as a junior. Can flat out score and is tracking as a big, scoring point man. Shoots it on the move, from different areas and with accuracy and confidence. Excellent student as well. Has a winner’s resume and will be ready to step in and lead a big time time program the moment he arrives on campus. Athletic build, diverse offense and upside.

It is widely believed that Knight has narrowed his list to UK, Miami, and UCONN

Josh Selby (5 Star)
Ht: 6-2 Wt: 180

Another highly ranked point man with a knack for putting the ball in the hoop.  Originally committed to Tennessee, Selby recently opened his recruitment back up and UK is considered the favorite for his services. (With possible help from World Wide Wes??)

Doron Lamb (5 Star)
Ht: 6-4 Wt: 175

An absolute surgeon from the three point line, Lamb is a high priority target for UK.  Lamb currently plays at Oak Hill Academy which is a historical UK pipeline for elite players.

Roscoe Smith (4 Star)
Ht: 6-7 Wt: 185

Doron Lamb’s teammate from Oak Hill, Smith is a versatile inside-out player that is an excellent defender on the block.



Harrison Barnes (5 Star)
Ht: 6-6 Wt: 190

The number 1 small forward prospect in the class of 2010, Barnes is a versatile play-maker that loves the mid-range game, as well as taking the ball to the rack.   Even though Duke & Kansas are considered the leaders, UK has made a strong push in the last month and with Calipari – you never know.

More from John Wall at the NC Pro AM Game.

We’ve all seen John Wall dunking on Jerry Stackhouse.  Here are more highlights from that game.  Who said he couldn’t shoot again?  (Wall is #7 with the white A.I. sleeve)

It may be Shark Week on the Discovery Channel but it’s ‘Dunk Week’ on Caliparti.

Happy Friday Folks!  Here’s THREE John Wall Dunk Videos showcasing the number 1 recruit in the nation.  I especially enjoy the winning jam in the dunk contest.  If you really want sensory overload, play all three vids at the same time.

It may be Shark Week’ on the Discovery Channel but it’s ‘Dunk Week’ on Caliparti.
Dirk Minniefield throws an incredible lob to Sam Bowie from beyond half-court.  We especially enjoy the line, “You better call time-out LSU!!”
