Last offseason Coach Cal openly talked about how badly he wants to revitalize his offense. Once an offensive mastermind with the dribble drive, Cal’s reputation took a bit of a hit last season with an atrocious offensive output for Kentucky.
Last season the Wildcats ranked 202nd in offensive efficiency, 193rd in points per game, and 216th in three-pointers attempted–something that absolutely had to change for a game that has grown into a shooter-friendly affair.
This offseason, Coach Calipari recognized that and got after it. At every camp stop, he has repeatedly told the new generation of hoopers “you don’t have to be an athlete anymore to excel in this game. If you have the skill and can shoot, you will play.”
I can’t imagine that same mantra won’t translate to the Rupp Arena floor next year, especially with the kind of roster Coach Cal went and built this off-season.
Attacking the transfer portal and picking up a late commitment this offseason, Coach Cal added:
-Kellan Grady, a guard who averaged 17 points a game and shot nearly 40% from behind the arc at Davidson last season.
-Kentucky native, C.J. Fredrick averaging over 45% from deep in his two seasons at Iowa.
