LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky sophomore Quade Green couldn't help but notice something was different about his new teammates when he woke up at 7 a.m. during the team’s trip to the Bahamas in August.
“Everybody is hyped for some reason,” he said. “Everybody brings the energy.”
It’s a lesson classmate PJ Washington quickly learned about Kentucky’s freshmen as well.
“I feel like they’re a lot more hungry than some of the guys we had last year,” he said. “They’re in the gym a lot more, they’re really curious, they ask a lot of questions and they’re just trying to be the best version of themselves, which is what you need to be a better team.
