LEXINGTON, Ky. _ New names continue to fly around _ and familiar ones keep resurfacing _ as Kentucky's search for at least one more frontcourt player for next season's basketball roster continues.
So far, the Cats will have only a pair of power forward recruits _ Isaiah Jackson and Lance Ware, both 6-foot-9 freshmen _ for the 2020-21 season. Rhode Island transfer Jacob Toppin _ a 6-8 forward _ could also join them if the NCAA approves a change to its waiver process that would allow traditional transfers to play at their new schools without sitting out a season. Toppin, a 190-pound prospect who averaged 5.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per game as a freshman, is seen as more of a long-term contributor, however.
The next tallest player on UK's projected roster will be 6-7 sophomore Keion Brooks, who was recruited to play more of a wing role in college.
So, Kentucky will add someone else for the 2020-21 campaign. Who will it be?
Here's the latest on the most likely possibilities, as of now, as well as those who keep getting mentioned but are unlikely to play for Kentucky next season.
