Projecting Who's Staying and Who's Leaving from Kentucky After NCAA Tournament Loss

In the second round of the 2023 men's NCAA tournament, the Kentucky Wildcats fell to the Kansas State Wildcats and officially headed into the offseason.

As usual, a few changes are on the horizon for UK coach John Calipari and a program that tends to embrace annual transition.

Kentucky is bracing to lose All-American center Oscar Tshiebwe and potential NBA draft lottery pick Cason Wallace. But the 'Cats are also primed to bring in the nation's top-ranked recruiting class, per 247Sports.

The hope for UK in 2023-24, however, is that its talent-filled freshman class will return the Wildcats to the top of the SEC.
