Ashton Hagans, the top-ranked point guard in the Class of 2019, has graduated high school and will now reclassify and enroll at Kentucky in time to play basketball for the Wildcats next season.

It's a development that could make UK the preseason favorite to win the 2019 national title -- especially if Reid Travis, a graduate transfer from Stanford, also enrolls at Kentucky. Travis averaged 19.5 points and 8.7 rebounds for the Cardinal last season. He's expected to visit UK next week.

Hagans will highlight Kentucky's freshman class that now features four five-star prospects. Combine that with the return of PJ Washington, Quade Green and Nick Richards, and the expected arrival of Travis, and Hall of Fame coach John Calipari could have his deepest and most experienced team since his 2015 Wildcats advanced to the Final Four and finished 38-1.

We have the makings of one heck of a talented basketball team for next season. Cal is going to have a load of talent and should be one of the favorites to make the final four.

Quality depth at every position. Practices will be intense. It's time for #9.

With all they have in place, if they land that grad transfer, a final four appearance would be a certainty and they would be a favorite to win it all.

A championship is never a given, unless you count participation trophies!

Kentucky will now have the quality experience to go along with the freshmen, this coming season. And if you add Reid Travis, a 6-8 forward who averaged 19.5 points and 8.7 rebounds for Stanford, Calipari will have the team to beat.

Reid would also make Washington and Richards better players.

I am not concerned at all about next years basketball team.

I am worried about the football team getting production from the QB position. Cal has the hoops team covered.

Norm is right on, as usual.
