Should Kentucky Wildcats be viewed as an SEC dark horse?
This time a year ago, the Kentucky Wildcats were nothing more than an afterthought as teams geared up for the 2016 season. Now, as the 2017 season approaches, the Wildcats are popping up as a trendy dark horse pick in the race for the SEC East crown.
Much of the buzz that the Kentucky Wildcats are generating this offseason stems from Kentucky’s successful 2016 campaign and the sheer amount of experience that the Wildcats will be returning in 2017. They went from an 0-2 start, to being in the heat of the SEC East race as late as November.
