Kentucky basketball ranked in latest ESPN Way-Too-Early Top 25

The Wildcats are just outside of the top 15 in the latest rankings from ESPN.

Kentucky basketball has solidified a spot in ESPN's Way-Too-Early Top 25 this offseason.

After starting out unranked in the spring, the latest additions to the Wildcats' roster have boosted UK all the way up inside the top 20.

ESPN has Kentucky ranked No. 17 in their most recent Way-Too-Early Top 25. Here's what article author Jeff Borzello had to say about John Calipari's Wildcats:

"While questions remain over the experience and youth of this season's squad, there are no doubts about the talent level in Lexington. In ESPN's 2024 mock draft, released late last month, the Wildcats have two of the four highest-ranked college players (Justin Edwards, D.J. Wagner) and five players (Edwards, Wagner, Ugonna Onyenso, Aaron Bradshaw, Robert Dillingham) ranked inside the top 40 overall. If the newcomers can get on the same page, Calipari is spoiled for options."

Just two SEC schools rank above Kentucky in the poll, with the Tennessee Volunteers coming in at No. 8 and the Arkansas Razorbacks at No. 14.
