When it comes to Kentucky Basketball, it’s never a given that any player is returning for the next season.
We’ve seen that come into play this offseason with guys leaving for the NBA Draft and transferring. Usually, those decisions don’t come as surprises, but there’s the occasional guy like Charles Matthews or Dakari Johnson that surprises everyone with his decision to leave UK.
It doesn’t appear Nick Richards will be that type of surprise.
According to Jon Rothstein, Richards will return to UK for his sophomore season. There had been some thought that Richards could declare for the draft and see if he could get an invite to the NBA Draft Combine, but it looks like he’ll pass on testing the waters.
