Roughly two weeks ago, Kentucky was knocked completely out of ESPN’s “Way-Too-Early” Top 25 preseason rankings. The reasoning, according to staff writer Jeff Borzello, was due to the (understandable) confusion surrounding the state of the roster at the time. Antonio Reeves‘ status was still up in, Bob Huggins was still the head coach at West Virginia, and news of Aaron Bradshaw‘s mysterious foot injury was a major cause for concern.
But that was two weeks ago. As things stand on Wednesday, July 5, head coach John Calipari has pieced together a roster that brings about reason for optimism within the Big Blue Nation.
