In or out? A closer look at who’s gone and who’ll be back for Kentucky next season

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kentucky basketball's 2018-19 season is finished. Now the waiting begins.

After the Wildcats' Elite Eight NCAA Tournament loss to Auburn, coach John Calipari is set to face the same heavy roster turnover that has characterized his 10 years in Lexington.

While each UK player said he had not made a decision about his future in the immediate aftermath of the loss, several departures alreseem likely.

Graduate student forward Reid Travis, who spent one season at UK after transferring from Stanford, is definitely gone as his eligibility has been exhausted. Sophomore forward PJ Washington, the team’s leading scorer and rebounder, and freshman guard Keldon Johnson, the 2019 SEC Freshman of the Year, are almost certainly gone as well.
