At his annual summer press conference Tuesday, John Calipari seemed in good spirits. Tanned and relaxed, he didn’t force us to look at snapshots from his European vacation; he joked about son Brad putting his name in the transfer portal and he almost (almost) made it through an entire media session without launching into a full-throated defense of the “one-and-done” system.

“I’m really happy with where we are right now,” said the coach when asked about his 2019-20 roster.

Why shouldn’t he be? EJ Montgomery is back. Nick Richards is back. Both big men yanked their names from the NBA Draft to spend another season up close and personal with Big Blue Nation. Returning point guard Ashton Hagans should have a breakthrough season, Calipari said. And returning guard Immanuel Quickley played his best basketball at the end of last season.

“The last time we had four players back who were quality players like that was 2014-15,” said the coach.

I think the returning guards will have great seasons They got outplayed in the tourney. They won’t get outplayed, next season. Hagans played was outstanding for a freshman. He will have a dominant sophomore season. Quickley can play either guard spot. This will be a very exciting team

I agree Boom, this years team will run and will be a lot of fun to watch.
