Dereck Lively II’s interesting John Calipari connection
Posted Aug 4, 2021
There was a revelation of sorts during five-star basketball recruit Dereck Lively II’s official visit to Kentucky last month. It turns out that Lively’s mother, Kathy Drysdale, and UK Coach John Calipari used to be co-workers. Drysdale is a former star basketball player at Penn State and currently works in the athletics department there as a marketing director.
