LEXINGTON, Ky. — The University of Kentucky’s men’s basketball roster continued to take shape Tuesday evening with the announcement that forward Jacob Toppin would return for a third season with the Wildcats in 2022-23.
Toppin entered his name in the 2022 NBA draft after this past season, went through the process of receiving feedback from professional teams, and decided to stick around at UK for additional seasoning.
Toppin will be a key component of what is shaping up to be a veteran roster. Oscar Tshiebwe, Sahvir Wheeler, Lance Ware, Daimion Collins and CJ Fredrick will also be back from this past season’s team and will be joined by veteran transfer Antonio Reeves. The Wildcats will welcome three freshmen in Chris Livingston, Adou Thiero and Cason Wallace.
