On Immanuel Quickley’s fridge hangs a list of goals he wants to accomplish this season. He wouldn’t share them with reporters at Media Day, but said they represent the new mindset he’s bringing into year two at Kentucky.

“I keep those to myself,” Quickley said. “I’ve worked really hard on myself.”

That hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed. John Calipari singled Quickley out during his Media Day press conference, comparing his new approach to PJ Washington’s a year ago.

“Immanuel is not even the same player,” Cal said.
