Kentucky Basketball: How Each Freshman Can Earn a Starting Role in 2014-15

It's odd to enter a college basketball season and see a John Calipari-led Kentucky Wildcat team returning superstar talent from the previous recruiting class, especially coming off a trip to the Final Four.


To the chagrin of the rest of the sport, that's where we find ourselves in 2014-15. Only two UK players headed off to the NBA draft, and the rest are joining forces with four more incoming McDonald's All-Americans to form an absolutely ludicrous array of talent.
