Before the hatch of the Mark Pope era, it was unknown who Kentucky’s main “star” would be.
Fans didn’t know then and, while they do have a better understanding now, there is still yet to be a bonafide “star,” as five different Cats are currently averaging double-digits per game in the points category.
A player who had high expectations early on was forward Andrew Carr, a 6-foot-11 transfer from Wake Forest who’s physicality, shooting and experience in the ACC was brightly advertised to BBN.
Carr started the season off playing in that “star” role, combining for 39 points through UK’s first three games, while being the main reason Kentucky knocked off then No.
