Kentucky is hosting its first satellite camp on the Satellite Camp Tour in Bardstown, and it’s giving us a first look at the 2018-19 basketball team.

This is the first unofficial team picture. Pictured left to right is EJ Montgomery, Keldon Johnson, Tyler Herro, Immanuel Quickley, Jonny David, Nick Richards, PJ Washington, Brad Calipari, Jemarl Baker and Quade Green.
A lot of the freshmen have just joined the team, including Herro, who got to Lexington at 1 a.m. this morning.

There are of course some action videos as well. Montgomery got his first test of his handles.

Quickley ran through a dribbling drill (something tells me he can run this drill a little quicker).

Perhaps the best news is seeing Jemarl Baker healthy and working with campers after missing his entire freshman season due to knee surgery.

These don’t include shots of Ashton Hagans because he hasn’t officially reclassified into the 2018 class yet. He’s hoping to do so sometime this summer and be on campus in time for the Bahamas trip.
There’s also Reid Travis, who will visit Kentucky later this month and could be on the roster soon enough.
With a lot of returning players, we’ve seen plenty of these guys in action before, but until they hit the practice gym, this’ll be the only look we get at the incoming star-studded freshman class in action.
Yeah, we’d say #BBN is happy about @PJWashington being back pic.twitter.com/N50S0fAL1d
