Kentucky has draft picks on the roster every year and they've won 1 conf champ.

in the last 6 years. Our roster upgrade is awesome and rightly so should have us all excited....but this is essentially getting on par with the likes of a Kansas, Arizona, Baylor, etc., not necessarily surpassing them. It doesn't hand you a top finish in the toughest conference in all college basketball.

This is not our friendly WCC or MWC where progression is easy.

We also have a coach that has never coached a single D1 game. Some measure of restraint is warranted.

From your fingers to Heaven's ear. Too rosy for my tastes, but I like it. My view is team will be stronger than 2024.

Fifth this year would be a higher finish than 5th last year. B12 now has more teams 16, up from 14.
