As things stand currently, Kentucky has one graduate transfer (Kellan Grady), one redshirt junior (CJ Fredrick), four juniors (Keion Brooks Jr., Oscar Tshiebwe, Sahvir Wheeler, Jacob Toppin), one redshirt sophomore (Dontaie Allen) and one sophomore (Lance Ware) on the roster compared to just three incoming freshmen (TyTy Washington, Daimion Collins, Bryce Hopkins). And that’s not even accounting for Davion Mintz, who is currently deciding between making the jump to the professional ranks or returning for his sixth and final year of college basketball.
Kentucky’s upcoming 2021-22 roster will not just be the most experienced in recent memory, it will boast the strongest veteran presence of John Calipari’s 13-year career in Lexington.
