The Kentucky Wildcats are looking to bounce back next season after a rough 2020-21. John Calipari has already brought in several transfers and now the addition of Chin Coleman and Orlando Antigua to the staff have added an extra spark.

Coach O was on Kentucky Sports Radio Monday morning and he noted that even though he has only been back a few days, he has already noticed just how hungry the current members of next year’s team are.

“When you have the kind of turnaround and the amount of kids the team lost last year compared to all the newcomers and the experience and then you get into the pandemic, you have a lot of variables that come into play that make for a challenging year, but these dudes now are seasoned together. They have a hunger about them in just my conversations with a few of them, that’s exciting. We’ve got to add some pieces to that and keep building on that.”

Davidson transfer Kellan Grady and Iowa transfer CJ Fredrick have not yet arrived in Lexington, but Antigua fully expects them to fit right in to what Calipari and this staff are building for next season.

I hope they are hungry for something, because last seasons outcomes left them starving to death. At least that's how the fans were left!
