Pretty much every year under John Calipari, the Kentucky Wildcats begin the season as a top-five team.
One would think that’d be the case again this year with the roster Calipari has assembled, which includes:
- A top-10 recruit in Terrence Clarke
- A former five-star recruit returning for his sophomore year in Keion Brooks Jr.
- Former Creighton point guard Davion Mintz, who’s started 79 career games
- A five-star point guard in Devin Askew
- And most importantly, a Hall of Fame head coach averaging 30 wins per season at Kentucky with seven Elite Eight berths, four trips to the Final Four, and the 2012 National Championship.
