John Calipari has done it again.

In 2009, with little time to pick up the pieces from a coaching change, rebuild a program and shape a roster, Calipari put together the nation’s top recruiting class, headlined by John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins.

When Wall and Co. left for the NBA, Calipari was left to rebuild another roster in the face of now heightened expectations.

Well, they don’t call him the country’s best recruiter for nothing.

According to ESPN.com, Calipari has hauled in the nation’s top recruiting class for the second year in a row. UK beat out Ohio State, North Carolina, Memphis and Syracuse for the top honors.

Check out the full rankings at ESPN.com. You must be an ESPN Insider to read the full story.

We’re still waiting to see what the final Rivals.com rankings are but we’ll post that as soon as they’re up.
