sad news; Aaron Bradshaw suspended for 3 years …….
A new men’s college basketball season continues to inch closer.
With Tuesday afternoon’s release of the SEC men’s basketball schedule, the task is now fully set for Mark Pope’s debut season as the Kentucky basketball coach.
But as the most action-packed offseason in UK basketball history nears an end, let’s not forget about those former Wildcats who will be suiting up elsewhere around the country next season.
Specifically, it’s worth circling back to the seven ex-Cats who were part of John Calipari’s final Kentucky basketball squad in the 2023-24 season.
The likes of Aaron Bradshaw (Ohio State), Jordan Burks (Georgetown), Joey Hart (Ball State), Zvonimir Ivisic (Arkansas), Ugonna Onyenso (Kansas State), Adou Thiero (Arkansas) and D.J. Wagner (Arkansas) all hit the transfer portal and left Lexington following the Calipari-to-Pope coaching transition.
What are projections for these former UK players at their new homes?
According to college basketball statistician Evan Miyakawa, two players from this group stand out when it comes to what should be expected of them in the 2024-25 season.
Bradshaw, the 7-foot-1 big man now at Ohio State, and Wagner, the 6-foot-4 guard who followed Calipari to Arkansas, are the clear highest-rated players who left Kentucky
