Being in the coaching ranks for over 30 years, Kentucky assistant coach Bruiser Flint has seen quite a bit of talent in his time.
What he hasn’t seen, though, is roster turnover and the replacement of overall talent the way UK has had to overcome this offseason.
With six players leaving for the professional ranks (Ashton Hagans, Immanuel Quickley, Tyrese Maxey, Nick Richards, EJ Montgomery, and Kahlil Whitney), one transferring (Johnny Juzang), and one graduating (Nate Sestina), only two scholarship players remain from the 2019-20 roster in Keion Brooks Jr. and Dontaie Allen.
To counter the mass exodus, UK added a whopping nine new scholarship players this offseason, including six high school signees and three transfers.
