The 2018-19 season was one to remember for Kentucky Wildcats fans.
On the gridiron, UK achieved a 10-win season for only the third time in school history. On the hardwood, the Cats made it to the Elite Eight. On the diamond, well, at least Big Blue Nation was treated to Zack Thompson on the mound.
The three major professional drafts of 2019 (NFL, MLB, NBA) have come and gone and Kentucky is the only school to have first-round selections in all three sports: Josh Allen, Zack Thompson, PJ Washington, Tyler Herro and Keldon Johnson.
Maybe this will help with people seeing Kentucky as more than just a basketball school.
