Here is what Katz had to say about the Cats for next year:
[QUOTE]
1. Kentucky
Even if freshmen [URL=”http://sports.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/profile?playerId=51542″][COLOR=#225fb2]Brandon Knight[/COLOR][/URL] and [URL=”http://sports.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/profile?playerId=51540″][COLOR=#225fb2]Terrence Jones[/COLOR][/URL] leave for the NBA, this Final Four team still returns a bevy of quality players and one of the sport’s top recruiting classes in years, led by Michael Gilchrist and Anthony Davis. The Wildcats are now a consistent title contender, and likely will be for as long as John Calipari remains in Lexington.
