Sidelines with John Clay

Video: What we know about Kentucky men’s basketball (so far)

The media recently completed interviews with all 12 of the players on new coach Mark Pope’s first Kentucky men’s basketball roster.

I talked with UK men’s basketball beat writer Ben Roberts about what we learned from the interviews, our impressions of the players, what Kentucky fans might be worried about and what’s next for the Wildcats this summer.
