CALIPARI HIRES LEBRON'S BOY AS GRADUATE ASSISTANT
Rick Pitino brought on one of Marquis Teague's "guys" as a graduate assistant, but John Calipari may have one-upped his rival from down the road.
Calipari has added Brandon Weems as a graduate assistant.
No, Weems doesn't have a connection with a particular recruit as Shabaka Lands did with Teague.
However, Weems has one connection that could be extremely valuable.
Weems was a teammate of LeBron James' back at St. Vincent-St. Mary (Ohio) and is one of LeBron's closest friends. One source told me that Weems' presence in Lexington was key in LeBron showing up on the campus during the summer.
"You could say he's in LeBron's inner circle," said Walsh University head coach Jeff Young, who coached Weems at the Division II school. "They grew up together."
This will further a relationship between LeBron and Calipari that has been aided by William Wesley (aka Worldwide Wes), who is close with both parties.
