WATCH: Kentucky Men's Basketball release hype video following newcomer arrivals

The kids are back in class for Kentucky Basketball. The team twitter account released a video highlighting their first get together, a cookout at John Calipari’s house, ahead of the 2022 season.

Cal’s cookout marks the first time everybody on the 2022-23 team — except Oscar Tshiebwe, who is visiting family in the Congo — has shared the same building. And the first team function for the newcomers. Which in 2022 is four guys. Two five-star freshman per the On3 consensus, Cason Wallace and Chris Livingston, and three-star guard Adou Thiero. The Wildcats also grabbed Illinois State transfer Antonio Reeves, who averaged 20.1 points a game with the Redbirds this past season.

Those four in addition to the guys the ‘Cats returned broke bread at the Calipari estate. Here’s some clips from the get together:

They said they were going to run some pickup, but unfortunately, if they did, no footage of live hoops made it into the clip. Nor did John Calipari. But he tweeted that he was unavailable for the photos and videos because he was “too busy cooking all the food to get included.”

Looks like a nice evening of team-bonding for the Wildcats and their newcomers.

WATCH: Kentucky basketball releases video of move-in day for newcomers

The newest Kentucky basketball stars are making themselves at home in Lexington. Several of them arrived in town Saturday morning to begin summer workouts.

UK’s three newcomers Chris Livingston, Cason Wallace and Antonio Reeves were documented while moving into the Wildcat Coal Lodge on campus. Which highlighted a bit of their personality to Big Blue Nation before they hit the court for the 2022 college basketball season.

Of course, it wouldn’t be move-in day in Lexington without assistant coach Ron ‘Chin’ Coleman hand checking Livingston in the parking lot between the Coal Lodge and the Joe Craft Center.

“I’m slimmed up, I’m ready to check up,” Coleman said as he squatted into a basketball stance. “Check up!”

Jokes aside, this is the first time incoming freshmen Livingston and Wallace are straying outside the confines of their homes, as most college freshman experience. In their case, the two McDonald’s All-Americans come into a city where basketball is religion. Expectations are championship or bust.

“It’s a new beginning, it’s new to me. I’ve never done this before,” Livingston said. “I’m just taking everything in and I’m just ready to be here.”
