Kentucky head coach John Calipari has the full support of AD Mitch Barnhart.
In an exclusive interview with 247 Sports, Barnhart said he’s confident in Calipari’s ability to complete the 2023-24 Kentucky roster.
“He’s a great basketball coach who will find a way to put a team on the court that competes at a really high level,” Barnhart said.
Here is an excerpt:
“We’ve had a lot of times when our roster has been fluid and he’s really good at figuring how to put together rosters,” Barnhart said. “We have five newcomers coming in, some folks coming back and then we’ll fill in around that. He is really good at that.
“People say, ‘Are you concerned?’ I get concerned about every sport every year,” Barnhart said. “I absolutely see exactly what’s going on. We’re in conversation a lot and I know the pulse of what he has going on with his team. I feel confident. He’s a great basketball coach who will find a way to put a team on the court that competes at a really high level.”
