The offseason began earlier than normal for the Kentucky basketball team. Shortly after the SEC Tournament exit, fans looked ahead to next year, wondering who could potentially return to seek vengeance. Arguably the most important piece of the puzzle was sophomore Keion Brooks.
The Big Blue Nation waited to hear if the forward would return for a third season in Lexington. We waited… waited … heard nothing … waited some more … then kept waiting. Nothing.
After months and months of speculation, John Calipari finally confirmed on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend that Brooks would in fact be back for the 2021-22 basketball season.
