The summer of 2020 at the Joe Craft Center is unlike any other. The coronavirus pandemic delayed the Kentucky basketball team’s arrival until the end of June. Once they got on campus, players were limited to strength and conditioning. On Monday coaches were finally able to interact with the new Wildcats.
“It was a little bit like Christmas morning yesterday around here,” men’s basketball assistant coach Joel Justus said on Kentucky Roll Call Tuesday morning.
“The crazy thing is we hadn’t even been able to see them. They moved in, you spend all this time recruiting guys and especially for us, with ten new guys coming to campus, we weren’t even able to see them, much less work them out,” he continued.
