It may be June, but one thing is evident: Jacob Toppin will be the veteran leader Kentucky missed out on last year.
One of the many problems Kentucky suffered from last year was a lack of leadership. Sure, Keion Brooks was there for his sophomore season, but by the time Brooks got to hit the floor, Kentucky was already in a hole with their 3-6 record heading into the middle of January.
As the season went on the Wildcats had a hard time finding that one ‘go-to’ guy, or the one guy who would settle a team down until Davion Mintz started popping up in late February. By that time, however, Kentucky’s season was all but gone.
Jacob Toppin also started to turn it on down the stretch last season. After Kentucky’s road win against Vanderbilt in February, Coach Cal started to recognize Toppin’s production–dubbing him as “found money” and a “nice bit of change.”
