You're going to have to wait a little bit longer to get your first look at the 2021-22 Kentucky Wildcats.
The Players First Fan Fest at Rupp Arena originally scheduled for Sunday has been postponed due to a scheduling conflict. Organizers are working to reschedule.
A joint NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) venture among the Kentucky players, the event was set to include a slam dunk exhibition, 3-point contest, skills showcase and scrimmage and will feature Dontaie Allen, Keion Brooks, CJ Fredrick, Kellan Grady, Bryce Hopkins, Davion Mintz, Jacob Toppin, Lance Ware, TyTy Washington, and Sahvir Wheeler with "additional student-athletes to be announced soon," presumably Daimion Collins and Oscar Tshiebwe.
"Really proud of our team. They have come together, improved their skills and grown to know and really respect each other. The summer has been a home run for our program," UK head coach John Calipari tweeted recently. "They’ve also taken on NIL, but haven’t just done great deals as individuals. They’re also doing things collectively, coming together to make sure that all players benefit. They’ve used the Kentucky basketball brand and have achieved significant numbers in a short amount of time. But, they all know that their brand and value will ultimately be decided between the white lines! That has always been the case here and it’s why our players have earned $3 billion in NBA contracts. The brand will always be WINNING!
