^Just to let everyone know, I had a little bit of a tough time with the "Top Possible Recuits for 2013 Class". If that information is incorrect, I apologize.

[HawksRule]

2004
Randolph Morris
Rajon Rondo
Joe Crawford
Ramel Bradley
The class that was supposed to make Kentucky Kentucky again

[WideRight05]

Given how they panned out, I am going to have to say the Davis class. Prior to Calipari, I am going to say, based on rating:

2004 (as mentioned by HawksRule) and the 1979 class headlined by Sam Bowie and the late, great Mel Turpin. Neither ended up winning a title though.

[Mr. Pike Central]

I still like the 2011 class.

[LWC]

Talent-wise, the 2009 class. Overall (talent, heart and determination)- the 2011 class.

[Stardust]

1974: Rick Robey, Mike Phillps, Jack Givens, James Lee

[LWC]

^Mike Phillips was a pretty cool guy the one time I met him as well.

[LWC]

^Wait. I was thinking of the late Mike Casey. Nevermind, I don't know Mike Phillips.

[Stardust]

^ That entire team was all class acts! Add Kyle Macy and Truman Claytor to that team and you had the best "People" that UK has ever had on one team!

[Stardust]

1946 - Alex Groza, Ralph Beard, Wally Jones, Cliff Barker

2 National titles and a 100-7 Win/Loss record!

[HarleyD]

According to ESPN Kentucky did not make Jabari Parker's final 5 school. ???

Sorry for Jabari!..........lol.............

I think everyone knew that one wasnt going to happen.
He wants the spotlight.

We need Randle, Young, and Wiggins if he reclassifies.

Then....well......best ever.

This.
You beat me to it.

[vundy33]

I think 2011, not only our best, but the best ever.

He'll get his 25 points per game now....

And a first round NCAA tourney exit.

[Truth]

Jimmy Dan Conner, Mike Flynn, Kevin Grevey, Bob Guyette, Jerry Hale

Exactly. We don't need Jabari. Because the ones you mentioned are basically locks.

[M'boroYellowJacket]

The 2013-2014 class looks to be the best of all time if all goes well..
