NBC ranks UK in their preseason top 5, along with an early prediction on the starting lineup

The Kentucky Wildcats have already lost PJ Washington, Keldon Johnson and Tyler Herro to the NBA Draft. They also lost Reid Travis due to graduation. That’s four of the five starters from this year’s team. Oh, and Jemarl Baker is transferring out of the program.

However, we do know that Ashton Hagans and Immanuel Quickley are both returning to Lexington for their sophomore seasons. We also know that Coach Cal is bringing in another haul from the recruiting trail with five-stars Kahlil Whitney, Tyrese Maxey and Keion Brooks, as well as four-star and Kentucky native Dontaie Allen. Last, but certainly not least, UK is also adding Bucknell grad transfer Nate Sestina.
