There’s plenty to talk about in the world of Kentucky basketball at the moment.

UK is looking like a possible No. 1 seed in the 2022 NCAA Tournament, star recruit Shaedon Sharpe won’t be playing for the Wildcats this season, and NBA Draft talk will only heat up from here. Meanwhile, some future Cats are getting mixed reviews in the new 2022 rankings, and John Calipari and his staff look well-positioned for another stellar recruiting class in 2023.

Have any questions about this Kentucky basketball team? UK’s overall recruiting efforts? Or anything else about the Wildcats’ program? Send those questions to Herald-Leader sports writer Ben Roberts, and we’ll answer them online and in the newspaper in the coming days.

Email your questions to broberts@herald-leader or contact Ben on Twitter with a tweet or direct message.
