Will be interesting to see if GW's Patrick Nero goes with Hajj Turner, who has been Mike Lonergan's right-hand man for years.

Second time at Kentucky in recent weeks. Talked to coaches and players. I've watched the guys play. The 2014-15 UK squad was unique. Not sure we'll see that level of talent in the near future. But the 2016-17 team shares that same confidence and fearlessness. And it's a powerful assembly.

Bam Adebayo, the 6-10, 255-pound freshman star at Kentucky, told ESPN.com today that he likes a lot of music. But his favorite artist might surprise you. "Katy Perry." Favorite song? "Last Friday Night." Says her music makes him feel good.

Why Kentucky? Here's the photo spread of every former UK player in the NBA right now, which is in the school's basketball office. Doesn't include the players drafted this summer. This helps.

Five-star freshman Malik Monk is laid back off the court, but he surprises people with his fire on the court. "I'm a dog." He says the UK roster is full of "dogs" this season who are "willing to do anything to win." The talent here is immense. But the confidence and attitude on this roster are critical, too.

How would Kentucky freshman Malik Monk describe his game? "I'm a scorer." The rest? He said he'd rather show you once the season starts.

ESPN 100 forward Justin Smith tells ESPN he is down to Indiana and Villanova. Took official visits to both campuses.

Duke freshman Marques Bolden's first name isn't pronounced how you think.
