Why block that when they won't play us?


It's pretty self-explanatory honestly. You're in direct competition with them for recruits, coverage, etc. And they've lost a lot of the ground they built up under Calipari at this point.

FWIW, they also blocked him from Providence, Iowa, and Virginia. I'm guessing because of their previous involvement in his recruitment. They don't play any of those guys either.

I'm not saying it's right or noble, but it's not uncommon either. Originally they weren't going to release him to anyone before they made the conditional release change.
