that were in the bottom 125 in Minutes Continuity on kenpom: Kentucky (3) at 44th and Alabama (4) at 85th. The year before was Kansas State (3) at 43rd, Alabama again (1) at 78th and UCONN (4) at 111th.

My guess is Kentucky is going to be at the bottom of the list where Utah State was this year with a coach who doesn't have any postseason success stories yet.

IMO, Pope is building a roster where it will be really difficult for very talented kids to figure out what their roles are going to be and accept them. That may be one of the hardest things to do as a coach no matter how good you are at Xs and Os.
