As has been coach John Calipari’s custom, the rotation for the 2018-19 Kentucky Wildcats will feature mostly underclassmen. This team, however, will be a bunch of graybeards compared to the program’s recent past. Last season, Calipari deployed not only the youngest team in the country according to KenPom.com, but also the youngest team ever measured in the 17-year history of the website. That cost the Wildcats in March, when they bowed out in the Sweet 16 against a Kansas State team that had far less talent but far more experience.

The season was followed by the usual mass exodus of freshmen to the NBA, but two of the Wildcats’ top five scorers are returning as sophomores, as will a valuable backup center. Then in the spring, Kentucky added a fifth-year graduate transfer who will log major minutes as the starting power forward. The Cats got older and better in one fell swoop.
