Basketball season is almost here, but is it already time to look ahead to next season? Kentucky basketball beat writer Kyle Tucker joined host Curtis Burch on the podcast Wednesday to talk about a potential super team — not this season, but in 2018-19.  A few former 5-star prospects in Kentucky's current batch of freshmen could be back next season instead of taking the one-and-done route. If that happens, John Calipari's team in 2018-19 could be a veteran bunch by Kentucky's standards. Pair a few 5-star sophomores with a 2018 signing class of Immanuel Quickley and potentially top-5 prospects Zion Williamson and Bol Bol and Kentucky would be the clear-cut favorite.
