Redshirt sophomore forward Tai Wynyard — who played in only eight games last season before getting suspended — has transferred to Santa Clara. Sophomore center Sacha Killeya-Jones — who had eight points and six rebounds in UK's NCAA Tournament-opening win vs. Davidson — has departed for North Carolina State.

That leaves sophomores-to-be PJ Washington, Quade Green and Nick Richards, plus redshirt freshman Jermarl Baker as UK's returning scholarship players..

Churning into the Kentucky program is the usual collection of lauded freshmen: Point guard Immanuel Quickley, shooting guard Tyler Herro, swingman Keldon Johnson plus front-court player EJ Montgomery.

For those of you scoring at home, that's only eight scholarship players presently on the 2018-19 UK roster.

To bolster that number, it is widely expected that Georgia high school guard Ashton Hagans, a Wildcats recruiting commit, will "re-classify" from the class of 2019 and come to UK for the coming season.

If reports are accurate, John Calipari and Kentucky are also the favorites to land Reid Travis. The 6-foot-8, 245-pound front-court player is using the graduate-transfer rule to leave Stanford after finishing third in the Pac-12 last season in both scoring (19.5 ppg) and rebounding (8.7 rpg).
