Preseason All-State teams for Kentucky college men’s and women’s basketball in 2018-19:
Men
SF Keldon Johnson, 6-6, Fr., Kentucky. The sleek Oak Hill Academy (Va.) product has had John Calipari harkening back to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
PF Nick Mayo, 6-9, Sr., Eastern Kentucky. The only EKU player (18 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 1.5 blocked shots last season) ever named All-OVC First Team in three straight seasons is a cornerstone for new Colonels Coach A.W. Hamilton to build upon.
