The Way-Too-Early Top 25s continue to roll in for the 2021-22 college basketball season. So far, Kentucky has been in the top 20 of preseason rankings by Aaron Torres and ESPN’s Jeff Borzello. Despite the roster uncertainty, Gary Parrish and Jeff Goodman have the Cats even higher in their polls. Parrish ranks the Cats No. 14, while Goodman has Kentucky at No. 15.
“The expected return of Keion Brooks, Dontaie Allen and Jacob Toppin gives John Calipari a core of three players who averaged at least 14 minutes per game this season,” Parrish writes.
