On the first episode of the relaunch of Wildcat Country we do a quick overview of the Kentucky basketball roster for the 2018-19 season, including what Kentucky is bringing back and the new players joining the team. Then break down possible starting line ups, how many freshman will start this year? Lastly what could be missing from the roster that John Calipari likes to have. Speaking of Calipari we then discuss some comments that he has made over the summer. Calipari seems really excited about his team and likes what he is seeing from them early. Finally we wrap up with some notes that were spotted on the the train stop tour UK basketball went in Midway and Lexington. There are some insights into how Calipari wants to play next season. The note on the train said: 2018-19 Fly in transition - sprint the floor Drive the ball - paint touches  Willing passers - one more - lobs  Great Cutters - play without the ball Grind if we have to
