After a rough start to the offseason, Kentucky and Coach Mark Pope have bounced back in a nice way. Moreno withdrew from the NBA Draft process, while Momcilovic did the same and picked the Wildcats over Louisville and Arizona. He was the best shooter in college basketball last year, while Kepnang gives them frontcourt depth behind Moreno.
Wilkins comes over as one of the better freshmen in the country, while Diallo is a proven high-major lead guard. McBride, Williams, and Morton provide the bench production Kentucky needs, giving the program a quality roster that’ll compete in the SEC next season.
