As John Calipari gears up for another Kentucky basketball season with realistic national championship expectations, he and his coaching staff are also trying to figure out their frontcourt situation on the recruiting trail.
It’s possible that UK might have to replace every post player on the 2018-19 roster.
Graduate transfer Reid Travis will be out of eligibility and obviously gone after his first and only season in Lexington. PJ Washington is widely expected to leave in the NBA Draft following his upcoming sophomore year. Those connected to UK’s current frontcourt recruiting targets are also being told that the Wildcats are expecting sophomore center Nick Richards, who turns 21 years old in November, to head off to the pros after this season.
