  The point guard gap has finally been filled. Arizona-made, 5-star point guard TyTy Washington committed to Kentucky on Wednesday. “I’m going to be taking my talents to the University of Kentucky,” TyTy said as he unzipped his jacket and revealed his “Just Us Wildcats” merch on his Instagram Live stream. Washington fits the Kentucky system almost perfectly. The 6’3, 185 pound guard can score from anywhere on the court with his fantastic shot creating and smooth jump shot. TyTy is also a scrappy defender with a tireless work ethic. Washington averaged about 25 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists per game last season for the AZ Compass Prep team. After decommitting from Creighton, TyTy ultimately chose Kentucky over LSU, Kansas, and his hometown Arizona Wildcats. Wherever TyTy decided to take his talents, he was bound to be a star.  (Photo: Brian Rothmuller, Getty) TyTy Will be joining 5-star Daimion Collins and 4-star Bryce Hopkins in Kentucky’s 2021 recruiting class.

     Calipari has finally answered our call for shooters. Iowa transfer CJ Fredrick committed to Kentucky on Wednesday. Fredrick stands at 6’3, 190 pounds. In his 2 years with the Hawkeyes, CJ put up about 9 points per game on an outstanding 47% from beyond the arc.  The shooting trio of CJ Fredrick, Kellan Grady, and Dontaie Allen is sure to shift Kentucky basketball to a more modern style of play. Kentucky center Oscar Tshiebwe said earlier this year that Kentucky will be using a “4-out” offense this upcoming season. A 4-out offense is where a team uses four 3-point shooters outside of the arc with 1 big man down in the paint. With all of these recent commitments and bringing back Allen, this gameplan would certainly fit our squad. Kentucky is now loaded with shooters and I can’t wait to see what CJ brings to the table for us. (Photo: Sarah Stier, Getty)

  Finally some good news. As announced on Monday, Orlando Antigua and Ron “Chin” Coleman will be filling the 2 gaps on Kentucky’s coaching staff. Let’s go over what this means for the program as we look to complete our roster ahead of the 2021-2022 season. (Photo: Michael Allio, Getty) Chin Coleman After coaching at Nebraska and UIC, Coleman landed his first major job with the Fighting Illini. As we know, Illinois was one of the best teams in the country last season and Coleman deserves to be credited for such. One of the major things Chin did for the program was play a key role in the development of one of the Nation’s best guards, Ayo Dosumnu. With a bunch of returning players, Chin Coleman will play a major role in getting Kentucky basketball to where they want to be. Orlando Antigua Here’s where the fun begins. Orlando initially joined Kentucky’s staff along with Calipari in 2009. Being with the Cats until 2014, Orlando and Cal accomplished a ton of great things together. The
