ESPN has released their Way Too Early College Basketball rankings and Kentucky is in the mix for the top spot.
The Cats are ranked #2 behind Michigan State who return a host of top players from a year ago.
2. Kentucky Wildcats
Previous: 3Kentucky is bidding farewell to four starters, with PJ Washington, Keldon Johnson and Tyler Herro all leaving early for the NBA and Reid Travis graduating — but the Wildcats received huge news near the NBA draft deadline, when EJ Montgomery and Nick Richards decided to return to Lexington. With those two providing depth up front, John Calipari has plenty of depth and options throughout his roster. Ashton Hagans is an elite defensive guard, five-stars Tyrese Maxey and Kahlil Whitney will push for starting jobs and Bucknell graduate transfer Nate Sestina and late signee Johnny Juzang bring shooting.
Read “Kansas up, Michigan down in Way-Too-Early Top 25 for 2019-20” by clicking here.
Kansas moved up 7 spots to #3 while Duke dropped 2 spots to #4. Louisville moved up 3 spots to #5.
I look for whichever team to get Kerry Blackshear Jr to make a jump again.
Maybe #2 to #1?
