It’s been nearly 17 months since CJ Fredrick played in an actual college basketball game. And depending on how you view Kentucky’s Big Blue Bahamas Tour, he still hasn’t returned for an official contest. That being said, he sure is finding his footing in the preseason as he continues to work back into tip-top form. The Cincinnati native isn’t quite 100 percent just yet, but he’s on pace to be there by the fall.
Fredrick, who sat out all of last season for the Wildcats due to injury after spending the previous three years at Iowa, has been on a minutes restriction during Kentucky’s first two exhibitions of a four-game stretch down at the Baha Mar Resort.
