If he had come to the US to play College BBall, Auburn would have been his choice.


So why did he only visit Cal, Stanford, and Kentucky?

Dirk was not a very solid player when the Mavs first got him in 1998, he was asked to play Power Forward because of his towering size over many other players in the league. The biggest issue? He wasn’t very good at playing defense. Hecklers in the stands would call him “Irk Nowitzki”, because he had no D.

Why did Cam never visit Auburn?

I don't have it bookmarked but awhile back when we hired Calipari there was a Mavs blog on his reaction. He's apparently a big UK fan and said he likely would've come to UK if he hadn't of went pro (his Nike Hoops Summit performance solidified the move, ironically Enes Kanter was the one to top it).

Helps to have the bigger bank account sometimes.
