Did John Calipari let EJ Montgomery’s NBA Draft decision slip?

Following Nick Richards’ decision to enter the NBA Draft, the only Kentucky Wildcat with a decision to make regarding his basketball future is sophomore forward EJ Montgomery.

Or does he?

In a National Association of Basketball Coaches webinar on Monday, Kentucky head coach John Calipari let it slip that only two Wildcats would be returning next season from the 2019-20 roster.

With Keion Brooks Jr. already announcing his return for a sophomore year, along with Dontaie Allen’s anticipated return, one could assume this does not include the 6-foot-10 forward out of Fort Pierce, FL.

“I have two returning players from last year’s team … ,” said Calipari, via Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald-Leader.
