There are plenty of national predictions and prognostications out there that say Kentucky will finish near the bottom of the Southeastern Conference in 2018.
But Mark Stoops didn’t seem to hold the same opinion while guest hosting a local radio show on Thursday morning.
Kentucky’s coach seemed more optimistic and at ease going into his sixth year than any of his previous ones.
“We’re so excited about this upcoming season, I can’t even tell you,” Stoops said while co-hosting the first hour of Kentucky Sports Radio on Thursday.
“We have a bunch of guys with some talent and experience, and that’s a good blend,” he said, noting that UK has five or six players who have been put on preseason lists for the league.
