Tyler Herro will leave Kentucky for the 2019 NBA Draft. Herro is a projected first round pick.

Herro thanked Kentucky fans and said his lone season with the Wildcats was everything he had hoped for.

John Calipari said Herro was "wired and driven like few other players" he has coached.

PJ Washington will declare for the 2019 NBA Draft, leaving Kentucky after his sophomore season.

Washington averaged 15.2 points and 7.5 rebounds.

John Calipari has agreed to a lifetime extension with Kentucky.

Calipari had been in contact with UCLA and was offered a six-year, $48 million deal.

"It has nothing to do with the other stuff ... people call every year," he said. "They presented it to me and I appreciate it."

Calipari's deal is structured as an extension until he retires and then he will become an ambassador for the remainder of his life.

Calipari has been to four Final Fours with Kentucky, in 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015, winning the national championship in 2012. 

Calipari has also received interest to return to the NBA.

John Calipari has been offered a lifetime contract by Kentucky. The deal would be a combination of a head coaching extension and a paid role as an ambassador.

The offer from Kentucky comes after UCLA offered Calipari a six-year, $48 million deal. The discussions between Calipari and UCLA were more extensive than previously believed. Kentucky gave UCLA permission to speak with Calipari.

Calipari is the highest-paid basketball coach in the country, making $9.2 million this year.

The new contract won't be substantially more lucrative, but it will include a 10-year term and a promise to be a paid ambassador in retirement.
