The UK basketball roster is guaranteed to look a lot different next season, and the next few weeks should be full of announcements from current Wildcats and the top high school seniors being recruited by Coach John Calipari.

The Cats could lose more than a half-dozen players to the NBA Draft. The program also is expected to compete for another No. 1-ranked recruiting class.

Below is a detailed look at what next season’s team could look like, with notes on returning players, probable draft picks and incoming recruits. This chart lists only those who were recruited as scholarship players (and keep in mind that UK can have as many as 13 players on scholarship). The “class” designation represents what each player would be in the 2015-16 season.

Probable Wildcats for 2015-16 Player Class Pos Ht 2014-15 stats/Other notes Alex Poythress Senior F 6-8 5.5 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 20.3 mpg Dominique Hawkins Junior G 6-0 1.3 ppg, 0.7 rpg, 7.1 mpg Marcus Lee Junior F 6-9 2.6 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 10.9 mpg Derek Willis Junior F 6-9 1.3 ppg, 0.7 rpg, 3.9 mpg Tyler Ulis Sophomore G 5-9 5.6 ppg, 3.6 apg, 23.8 mpg Isaiah Briscoe Freshman G 6-3 No. 1 ranked point guard in 2015 class Skal Labissiere Freshman F 6-11 Top 5 overall recruit in 2015 class Charles Matthews Freshman G 6-5 Top 50 recruit in 2015 class

Notes: Poythress was an NBA prospect coming into the season but played only eight games because of a knee injury. ESPN projects him as the No. 84 overall prospect in this year’s draft, but it’s unlikely that he would declare for the pros. Lee and Willis have both been mentioned as possible transfers in recent weeks, although both have said they plan to return to Kentucky next season. Lee, especially, could be more of a focal point next season. Ulis is the No. 45 prospect on ESPN’s NBA Draft board but sounded as if he plans to return to UK after Saturday night’s loss to Wisconsin. Briscoe and Labissiere are likely to compete for starting spots as freshmen. Additional note: It’s possible that Tai Wynyard, a member of the class of 2015 who has committed to Kentucky, could join the Cats as a mid-season addition in December, after he finishes his high school coursework in New Zealand. The 6-foot-10 post player probably would not be expected to make an immediate impact next season.

50/50 to return to Kentucky Player Class Pos Ht Draft Express ESPN’s Chad Ford Dakari Johnson Junior C 7-0 No. 41 No. 38 Devin Booker Sophomore G 6-6 No. 17 No. 19

Notes: Johnson said after Saturday’s game that he hasn’t thought much about his NBA Draft status. He’s projected as a second-round pick. Booker said Saturday that he has not made a decision on the NBA and would talk to his family in the coming days. Booker is projected as a possible lottery pick, although he is close to fellow freshman Tyler Ulis and could return to play one more season with him and become a bigger part of UK’s offense.

Remaining recruiting targets for 2015 Player Pos Ht Rank Other schools Jaylen Brown F 6-7 1 UCLA, Kansas, Michigan, UNC, Cal, Georgia, Ga Tech Cheick Diallo F/C 6-9 10 Kansas, Iowa State, St. John’s, Pitt Brandon Ingram F 6-9 13 Duke, UNC, Kansas, UCLA, N.C. State Thon Maker F/C 7-0 6 Kansas, Indiana, Missouri, others Malik Newman G 6-3 8 Kansas, LSU, Miss State, Ole Miss, N.C. State Caleb Swanigan F/C 6-9 11 Duke, Cal, Michigan State, Arizona, Purdue Stephen Zimmerman F/C 7-0 9 UNLV, Kansas, UCLA, Arizona

Notes: Zimmerman could be the most likely of these players to pick UK, if there looks to be some available playing time in the frontcourt. If the Harrison twins and Devin Booker all leave, Newman could become a more likely addition. (Even if Booker comes back, there would be plenty of playing time for Newman). Swanigan is announcing his decision next weekend, but UK seems unlikely to be the choice. Brown‘s comments from the McDonald’s All-American Game last week indicated that he was looking elsewhere, although UK is still in the mix. Diallo has been pretty quiet about his recruitment, but Kansas and Iowa State are considered the favorites. Ingram is expected to stay in his home state of North Carolina, although he does have an in-home visit with John Calipari later this month. Maker is a wild card and is unlikely to make an announcement anytime soon. He could also play professionally outside the United States next season and then declare for the 2016 NBA Draft. There should be several talented graduate transfers this offseason, and UK could look in that direction once other announcements are made and the roster situation becomes more clear.

Likely to declare for NBA Draft Player Class Pos Ht Draft Express ESPN’s Chad Ford Willie Cauley-Stein Senior F 7-0 No. 6 No. 8 Aaron Harrison Junior G 6-6 Not in Top 100 No. 80 Andrew Harrison Junior G 6-6 No. 61 No. 56 Trey Lyles Sophomore F 6-10 No. 19 No. 16 Karl-Anthony Towns Sophomore F 6-11 No. 1 No. 1

Notes: Towns is now considered the No. 1 prospect for this year’s NBA Draft, and it’s a near certainty that he will declare. Cauley-Stein said Saturday night that he plans to leave for the NBA. The buzz around the program in recent weeks indicates that UK expects the Harrison twins and Lyles to turn pro, too. The early-entry deadline for the NBA Draft is April 26.
