Recently, there have been rumors about Kentucky G Quade Green’s future with the Wildcats, but on Monday, those questions were put to rest.

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Hamidou Diallo heading off to the NBA, there are going to be some openings in the Kentucky backcourt next season.

On Monday, Johnson said her son had decided to remain at UK.

Green started 13 games for the Wildcats last season, but eventually lost his starting job to Gilgeous-Alexander, who played so well he’s now a potential first-round NBA Draft pick.

He’ll be a strong favorite to be the Wildcats’ starting point guard this fall, though, so he could be the next first-round guard coached by John Calipari.
