That gives U.K. 6 five star recruits for next year if Diallo pulls out of the draft. I expect him to stay in however.

But now no longer looks like that grad transfer will go there?
If they go into next year with a roster that has almost no college experience, will still be interesting to watch. As Cal's teams usually have been.
Johnson is more concerned with what Diallo is going to do. I think uk still gets him and bamba but lose diallo to the draft.
I don't care what upperclassmen we have, we won't stand a chance against that in Lexington.
I'm not typically concerned when Kentucky doesn't have a defensive post presence. However, if you look at years where they have had that and a complete team (12,14,15), they have played a level above everyone else. Not saying we can't beat them. Last I checked, we had a pretty good post presence too. But if Kentucky is able to create consistent offense off of their defense (which is how calipari likes to play) then it will be them and everyone else. Plus this years draft is pretty strong and a lot of really good talent is exiting the college level. I don't think this next year will be a great year for college basketball as a whole.
I still think our game with them will be fun though. Bamba (if they get him and lets face it, they probably will) against Williams and Green against J.J. will be fun. Flagg will also be able to defend multiple positions. I don't think our chances are great, but if Hogg shoots better and we can take care of the ball, we should make it very competitive. I still think we get slaughtered in Lexington.
