Cj Fredrick will likely return as well but hasn't posted anything publicly yet.

Regardles, this will be the most talent UC has had on a roster since Mick's 2019 team that earned a two seed in the NCAA tournament. 

Very excited for next season...with that excitement comes higher expectations.

Fredrick has been playing college basketball for a long time. I know he's had some injuries, but he's been out of HS maybe 7 years???

Should be a good team!

Class of 2018. 

Redshirt freshman year

Redshirt freshman/sophomore year at Iowa

Redshirt junior year- sat out at UK with injury 

Redshirt senior year at UK

Grad year at UC

Has one year of eligibility left with his Covid year...not 100%, but I'd think he could potentially qualify for a medical redshirt as well, if he really wanted it

 

 

5* Duke transfer Sean Stewart currently on campus visiting UC. He was teammates with Jizzle James on the AAU circuit for Florida Rebels. 

Big time get today with Dillon Mitchell committing.
