What a combo they are going to be, they will be special and will probably be one of the better inside--outside combo's Kentucky has had. Can't wait to see them play.

Murray was not ranked in top 25 of RSCI, but he was considered a top 25 recruit after reclassifying. The 6’5’’, 195-pound Murray shined at this year’s Nike Hoop Summit, scoring a game-high 30 points and recording five assists. It will be interesting to see how Calipari decides to use him given the players that will join him in the backcourt. Whether or not playing Murray, Ulis and Briscoe together for long stretches is feasible, Kentucky will have an abundance of scoring and playmaking at both guard positions. That’s a good starting point when you’re trying to replace seven players who left for the NBA.

Labissiere was not eligible for the McDonald’s All-American Game, but he dazzled scouts and media at other postseason events this spring. The website DraftExpress elevated Labissiere to No. 1 on its 2016 NBA mock draft after he impressed during workouts at the Nike Hoop Summit, and he also played well at the Jordan Brand Classic. Labissiere is renowned for his athleticism and versatility on both ends of the floor. At 7-foot and 215 pounds, Labissiere can drill perimeter jump shots, operate from the midrange, score on the blocks and protect the rim. Expect Labissiere to start alongside junior forward Marcus Lee, another projected draft pick in 2016, with 6’8’’ wing Alex Poythress also returning after tearing his ACL last season.
