With the graduation of longtime superstar Raena Worley, things are going to look a bit different for the Wildcats this season. It will be far from a rebuilding year—Worley isn’t the only reason Kentucky is coming off its best regular season ever—as plenty of blossoming talent like Creslyn Brose, Makenzie Wilson, and Isabella Magnelli return to bolster a huge newcomer class of freshmen and high-profile transfers.
2024 Rewind
No. 9 overall | No. 3 at SEC | No. 6 in regular season | Regional Final
For the nation’s perpetual bubble team, after sitting on the right side of the nationals picture all season long, it stung to miss out on a repeat trip at the hands of an SEC foe by just a few tenths. With key losses to contend with, the Wildcats open 2025 on the wrong side of the bubble with ground to make up, and maintaining status as a top-half SEC team only gets more challenging with the addition of Oklahoma to the league—but it’s doable.
