The Kentucky Wildcats will return PG Ashton Hagans to the roster next season, but other than that, all four other starters may leave for the NBA Draft.
Senior Reid Travis is out for sure, and PJ Washington, Keldon Johnson and Tyler Herro are all potential first-round picks.
While there’s still time for them to decide whether to stay in the draft or return to school, Herro announced on Tuesday that he wouldn’t be coming back:

“After exploring my options some more and getting some immediate feedback, I have decided to remain in the draft,” he said. “This year was everything I hoped for, and more.”
Herro averaged 17.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game while shooting 35.5 percent from three-point range.
