    Calipari with a jab at reed on draft night

    I’m was as hard as anyone I know when it came to Cal. However, I thought this was a giant nothing burger. Having been around him a few times, this is just how he is. To me he seemed very much like Cal in that moment. Reed is baby faced and that’s all there was to it. Cal probably felt very...

    Interesting early mock for ‘25

    Z is a guy who should have transferred to a place like Gonzaga. How they use bigs and increase their versatility would have been a good move. Or just stay at UK. That had to be a 2 way street though and not sure how interested Pope was after they talked. Regardless, he likely made a bad call...

    A year ago, you hire a psychic...

    Nah… It’s funny. Last summer I think we all had an inkling that Reed could be special from the Canada trip, but I never dreamed he would be as good as he was to be honest. I thought Justin looked so skilled but did seem a bit timid and sort of soft. I dialed back my expectations on him...

    Time to upgrade some facilities

    Cal NEVER had jack outside of empty promises of money from guys loyal only to him. UK will likely have to acquire those funds elsewhere now. I believe it will happen though!

    Your favorite win against these schools

    Many People don’t value the 2014 UL Sweet 16 win the way they should. Losing WCS in the opening mins and falling behind early could have spelled doom. Thankfully we crept back in, and the game pressure caused the Cards to buckle and we pulled it out. UL was going to repeat fellas. We were...

    “I got to hire my son”

    I actually think Cal will keep things as friendly as possible while at Arky. He’s never going to duplicate what he did here his first 6 years… ever… at Arky or anywhere else. No matter the enormity of his ego, he knows this. He will basically be the Cal of the last handful of years. I also...

    Reed Sheppard Interview (Talks Cal, Pope, & Fans)

    This will be a very loud debate for years to come. It’s simple. Reed was a great talent and exciting player. That’s exaggerated by many people’s love what Jeff accomplished in hopes that his son would have a similar storybook journey. It didn’t happen. That’s okay. Remember him how you...

    Memorial Coliseum

    This renovations were necessary on so many levels. I love old Memorial and have many memories from my time as a student there. However, this was long overdue. I don’t think many of our fans realize just how amazing the athletics facilities are at UK. I’ve traveled all over the country and...

    Are we hyping Jaxson Robinson up too high?

    Yes I’ve followed Popes teams since he started at Utah Valley. I was at Uk same time as him, and I loved the guy. Always been a fan. I easily saw Robinson play 6-8 times this year and he was literally like dynamite. Dude would come off the bench and drop like 10 pts in under 3 mins. He is...

    Are we hyping Jaxson Robinson up too high?

    Dude is a stud. Said during the season that he was a taller, less electric scorer than Dilly. Guy is instant offense and can flat out get buckets when it breaks down and clock shot winding down. Not a first team AA, but easily a first team all conference level player.

    Would anyone here recommend joining KSR+

    I think if you listen to the podcasts Pilgrim does you get all the same info. Might be interesting getting responses from KSR guys but they also post here under unknown names all the time.

    Supreme Cook entering portal

    As a 26 year teaching veteran… many people just understand the level of hilarity this skit actually reaches. It’s an all-timer!
