The Kentucky basketball roster for 2022-23 is pretty much set. John Calipari said so a couple of weeks ago when appearing on a Louisville radio show. The UK coach said he expected to have 10 scholarship players for next season. No more than 11.
Though currently testing the NBA Draft waters, Jacob Toppin is expected to return. Keion Brooks said Monday he’s “all-in” on the draft. Calipari indicated UK had an unannounced commitment from another player. As it turned out, that was Adou Thiero, a three-star prospect out of Pennsylvania with upside.
There is the Shaedon Sharpe situation. It’s difficult to find anyone, however, who doesn’t believe last year’s heralded midseason enrollee, who never made it into a game in a Kentucky uniform, will stick with the NBA Draft.
