His box score +/- was actually second on the team last season behind only Tshiebwe.Īs for Ware, there’s been little mention of him this offseason, so it’s good to hear Calipari expects him back.
With Brooks trending toward an exit from Lexington, Toppin will be a strong contender for the starting 4 next season. He’s been widely expected to return for his senior season, which could be a major breakout for him after being a bench player in his first three years of college ball. It’s also nice to hear Toppin is expected back even as he tests the NBA Draft process. Shaedon Sharpe and his eligibility saga UK basketball team visits children affected by Kentucky tornadoes Early roster projection for 2022-23 Kentucky Wildcats Wheeler actually confirmed his return late Thursday night with a video on Instagram. So long as Wheeler keeps improving his 3-point shot, he’ll continue to be one of the better floor generals in college hoops. Though he had his ups and downs as Kentucky’s primary point guard, Wheeler was a key reason why Kentucky won 26 games and earned a 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.Īnd there’s reason to think that he’ll be even better next season, given that Calipari’s specialty has been how well he develops guards. While the expectation has been all of these guys would return, it’s great to get confirmation from Calipari, especially with Wheeler. That’s eight spots, so look for at least two roster additions to be made if Shaedon Sharpe and/or Keion Brooks are both gone. That means we now essentially know that Tshiebwe, Wheeler, Toppin, Collins, Fredrick, Ware, 5-star guard Cason Wallace and 5-star forward Chris Livingston will be on the roster this fall. Use this stream to keep track of Kentucky’s recruiting efforts in the Class of 2022.John Calipari confirms the expected for Kentucky: Sahvir Wheeler is planning to return for another year in LexingtonĬal names Wheeler, Jacob Toppin, CJ Fredrick, Daimion Collins and Lance Ware as players expected to return for the Wildcats.- Jack Pilgrim April 22, 2022 Antigua was a force on the recruiting trail during his first stint in Lexington, and Coleman is also expected to enhance Kentucky’s recruiting efforts going forward. This will also be the first class we get to see new assistants Orlando Antigua and Ron “Chin” Coleman make their mark on after joining Calipari’s staff this offseason.
Oh, and Clark is set to play at Montverde Academy (FL) alongside Duren, Whitehead and other big-time recruits, so that will be a development to watch unfold next season.
Some strong candidates to eventually score an offer from John Calipari include five-star guard Cason Wallace, five-star forward Dariq Whitehead, four-star guard Nick Smith, and five-star forward Sadraque Nganga. Other Class of 2022 recruits with scholarship offers from Kentucky include five-star guard Jaden Bradley, five-star center Jalen Duren, and four-star guard Shaedon Sharpe. 1 player in the class is Emoni Bates, though he’s widely expected to play professionally for one year instate of college ball before likely being the No. Thus far, five-star guard Skyy Clark is the only pledge for Kentucky, but there could be more additions in the coming months now that COVID-19 is subsiding, campus visits are heating up, and summer AAU events start to pick back up.Ĭurrently, the No. With the 2021 recruiting cycle wrapping up, we can now start really looking ahead to the Kentucky Wildcats’ recruiting efforts in 2022.
