NOTES

- Hamidou Diallo enrolled a semester early so he has more experience in the program than the other players who are listed as freshmen.

- Diallo could still theoretically enter the 2017 NBA Draft since he would be a year removed from high school.

- Although it is possible that one of the other holdovers from the 2016-17 team could transfer or explore other options there has been no confirmation that any are leaning in that direction.

Who UK Could Add

Mark Smith

Forward/Center

NOTES

-- Bam Adebayo has entered his name into the NBA Draft pool but has not hired an agent and is thus eligible to return, at least for now. Most mock drafts have Adebayo as a first round pick although DraftExpress, in an outlier mock, had Adebayo going 32nd this week.

-- Johnson was part of Pitt's program for three years and scored nearly a dozen points per game for Kevin Stallings' program as a redshirt sophomore during the 2016-17 season. He shot 42-percent from three on the season. Rivals.com's Corey Evans reported recently that Kentucky has offered Johnson.

-- Smith visited Michigan State over the weekend. He will play in the Derby Classic this weekend. While the addition of Baker would seem to make Smith less of a priority or a need for Kentucky, it's possible Calipari would still consider taking him.
