By now, Big Blue Nation is used to massive turnover in John Calipari's Kentucky basketball program.
But the offseason roster shuffling this spring and summer have take on a different hue. The NCAA's move to allow most players to transfer once without sitting out a season has shifted the bulk of the additions from highly touted high school recruits to players with college experience. Meanwhile, Kentucky's normal exodus of players to the NBA draft and transfer portal has continued.
Calipari also remade his coaching staff following one of the worst seasons in program history. With Davion Mintz still testing the NBA draft waters and top high school prospect Jalen Duren reportedly considering a move to the 2021 class, the roster changes may not be finished until July either.
To help you stay up to date with where things stand for Kentucky's 2021-22 roster, here is a breakdown of the additions, departures and returns to the program. We'll update this page as future changes are made.

The magnitude of change is mind-boggling, but essential given last year.
I hope the rate of change stabilizes going forward.
