Kentucky basketball roster 2025-26: An early look at Kenny Brooks' team for Year 2

[ASFN Admin]

LEXINGTON —The Kentucky women's basketball season ended in the second round of the NCAA Tournament against Kansas State.

All-American Georgia Amoore led the Wildcats in her final year of eligibility. She averaged 19.1 points, 6.9 assists and 2.4 3-pointers per game.

In the latest mock draft by USA TODAY, Amoore is projected to be the seventh overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft.

She'll leave UK tied for the game high in points (43) and second in assists.

Amoore's backcourt partner, Dazia Lawrence, also has exhausted her eligibility. Lawrence played four seasons at Charlotte before transferring to UK, averaging 12.7 points per game for the Cats.

If everyone decides to return to Lexington, the Wildcats could have 10 players returning next season. The transfer portal for women's basketball opens on Tuesday.
