One thing can't be denied: Cal is like Wade Boggs. He could wake up in the dead of winter and line a single to left/sign a 5 star to his program.

"Since my visit a year and a half ago, they've been consistent and committed to recruiting me," Muurinen told ESPN. "They've always shown interest. They've been very consistent, and they've gotten to know me as a person. That's been very important to me.

"When I left my Arkansas visit, I was not only excited about the program but also about the people, and I said to myself, those are the type of people I want to be around on a daily basis."

Muurinen built a strong relationship with Calipari on the visit and in the 18 months since the trip.

"The thing about Coach Calipari that stood out was that he kept it real with me," Muurinen said. "*He has had so much success with so many one-and-done players*, and I really like his coaching style both on and off the court. He'll push me hard on the court, and he won't give up on me off the court. Cal is a funny guy off the court; he keeps it light."

I'll take things no player will ever say about Mick for $1,000, Alex
