Then, it was reported that Duke and UConn would be the only schools to get visits from the sharpshooter. However, after visiting Storrs, Brea cancelled his trip to Durham and instea...

Kentucky head coach Mark Pope is well aware of the ever-changing roster construction dynamics. “This is a very artistic, organic process; that’s the way we operate,” he said Monday morning on Kentucky Sports Radio. “I think teams are a beautiful thing, man, because they’re living and they’re dynamic and it’s like a living organism.” The dynamic roster made a significant shift over the weekend.
