John Calipari releases statement on Kentucky’s disastrous offseason thus far

It’s safe to say this has been one of, if not the worst offseason Kentucky Basketball has endured under head coach John Calipari.

After another first-weekend exit in the NCAA Tournament, Kentucky watched all but two players eventually leave via the NBA Draft or transfer portal. The two guys coming back — Adou Thiero and Ugonna Onyenso — combined to score 4.8 points per game.

And Onyenso did actually try to transfer before ultimately returning.

Wednesday saw Oscar Tshiebwe and Chris Livingston keep their names in the draft, despite being projected to go undrafted, while Antonio Reeves announced his return to school, though it could be a school other than Kentucky.
