Time for the offseason to tip off.

Now that the offseason has officially begun, all eyes will now turn to roster stay or go decisions as well as potential transfer options for the Kentucky roster next season.
However, it sounds like we would also be smart to watch some assistant coach movement as well. KSR’s Jack Pilgrim reported on Monday that several assistants could be leaving this offseason. Heading into year three of the Mark Pope era, the honeymoon period ended quickly this season, leaving many to wonder if we will see any shake-up of the staff after such a disappointing year.
But who could it be? Will we see movement from Mark Fox or Jason Hart? What about Cody Feuger or Alvin Brooks?
Mikhail McLean? All have been important pieces thus far for Pope, but with such an important season on the line, will we see the UK Head Coach mix it up to try and get some momentum heading into year three? Now we sit and wait.
