After a frustrating down year for the Kentucky basketball program, excitement is back going into the 2021-22 season. John Calipari was the conductor behind a complete roster and coaching overhaul, one that saw seven new players and two new coaches added to the program.
The Wildcats feature a sixth-year graduate in Davion Mintz, a fifth-year graduate in Kellan Grady, a redshirt junior in CJ Fredrick, four juniors in Keion Brooks Jr., Jacob Toppin, Oscar Tshiebwe, Sahvir Wheeler, a redshirt sophomore in Dontaie Allen, one sophomore in Lance Ware, and three freshmen in Daimion Collins, Bryce Hopkins, and TyTy Washington.
