Tip-off for Kentucky Basketball’s season opener is still nearly four months away, but Jon Rothstein has already released his early SEC Basketball rankings.
Rothstein has Kentucky ranked 5th in the conference behind Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Vanderbilt, Alabama, Missouri, Texas A&M, and Georgia make up the bottom half of the top 10.
Obviously, these rankings are very early, but #5 is probably a fairly safe place to put this Kentucky team. There are still a lot of questions left to be answered regarding what this team’s ceiling can be.
How will Alex Wilkins adapt from playing in the Southern Conference to the SEC? How improved will Malachi Moreno be? How will Ousmane N’Diaye’s game translate to American college basketball?
Those three questions really will determine how Kentucky fits into the SEC pecking order.
