This Sunday, John Calipari will begin his summer gig as coach of team USA’s under 19 basketball team. Twenty eight of the nation’s top high school and incoming college freshmen, including three Wildcats in Kevin Knox, Hamidou Diallo and PJ Washington, will try out for the 12 man roster from June 18-25. Once the roster is set, the team will head to Cairo, Egypt for the FIBA world cup starting on July 1. Calipari hopes to lead USA to its third consecutive U-19 gold medal. Evan Daniels of Scout.com and Fox Sports joined KSTV to preview what the next few weeks look like for John Calipari.
