The Kentucky Wildcats are set to have big changes to the roster for the third straight offseason, after a disappointing year where they spent a lot of money and got little return. With an expected change in philosophy, there will be turnover on the roster. The first of those dominoes fell this week with the announcement that Jaland Lowe was entering the portal.
More announcements and departures are expected to follow, possibly including players Mark Pope and the Wildcats would prefer to keep. As players leave, Pope and his staff will have to replace them with quality players. Kentucky fans demand better, so how next year's roster is assembled will be huge.
They have to find the right pieces to get the program back on track. With so much expected turnover, fans will want to keep track of who is in and who is out. Follow along with this for all the updates of the changes as they happen.
Leaving Kentucky Jaland Lowe - There was a great deal of anticipation when he was signed from Pitt. His ability to score and pass both had him set to be one of the roster's major pieces.
