    Crystal Ball Pick for Kentucky

    Think back - what if in March someone told you that UK wouldn’t add a single transfer and lose Oscar, Reeves, Toppin, Livingston, Collins, Frederick, Wallace, and Ware and the only “new” guys they were getting (outside the already signed Freshman class) were two high school kids ranked outside...

    If Reeves stays, we get Kaluma and at least one other role player, could that be enough?

    There are multiple issues with UKs current roster regardless of who they add from the shallow transfer portal. 1. You've got 3 volume dependant scorers - probably in your starting lineup with Edwards, Wagner and Dillingham. 2. Your main 2 ball handlers have been the primary ball handler their...

    Matty Jones

    UKs NIL pitch doesn't work because its non-sense. No kid - who has major NIL value should ever commit to a school without knowing up front what they're going to make. The idea that the "UK Brand" is enough and that they should trust that UK will get them paid is idiotic and arrogant thinking...

    Cal weighs in on the roster…

    His schtick about "the culture" and wanting kids who just want to win has always flown in the face of everything he's built his UK legacy on - getting to the NBA as quickly as possible and creating and encouraging an environment that emphasised draft stock over everything else. Don't blame...

    Can Oscar play the 4

    Oscar is an amazing rebounder because that's the only thing Oscar focuses on - finding the ball and getting the rebound - at the determent to his defense and the team defense. He chases rebounding stats IMO.

    Can Oscar play the 4

    Oscar's best spot is the 5. plopped in the paint and around the basket with absolutely ZERO plays being ran for him and all he does all game is defend the paint, rebound and score on putbacks. Oscar at the 4 - with another similar sized guy at the "5" would be a disaster IMO. UKs best lineup...

    Hunter Dickinson will visit Kentucky April 23-25

    This is a fascinating development from a lot of angles.

    Hunter Dickinson will visit Kentucky April 23-25

    Ugonna gonna be the first player to ever enter the portal, come back to the same school and enter the portal again?

    Dickinson, Oscar or neither per Pilgrim

    You can't convince me that a seasoned, well established, well known player like Hunter Dickinson has legitimate interest in coming to play for a coach who has NEVER allowed bigs to operate the way that best fits and best showcases Dickinson's ability. There's absolutely no logical reason for him...

    KSR Rumor About Dickinson

    I was about to say...perfect world, I'd take Dickinson over Oscar 10/10 times if I'm the coach. If Cal's the coach I'm taking Oscar. The versatility and offensive production of Dickinson is his best skill and Cal wouldn't utilize that at all.

    KSR Rumor About Dickinson

    Yeah this sounds like pure message board nonsense and spin.

    Mackenzie Mgbako

    I don't think there has to be an assumption of a character issue. He likely doesn't see a spot for him and doesn't want another Freshman mouth to feed - that simple. I'm sure if he could go back in time he maybe would have shuffled things up and taken Mgbako instead of one of the other Freshman...

    OT: El Ellis

    I'm still baffled by how the UofL staff handled Ellis this off season. I get it, he wasn't the best team mate and sometimes its best for both sides to get a fresh start but they did him dirty. Arkansas gave him 500K which is insane.

    Mackenzie Mgbako

    Cal's not going to recruit him because of Edwards and Bradshaw. Mgbako can play the 3 or 4 pretty well but to me hes the perfect 4 for today's game. He's supposed to commit sometime in the next 2 weeks but I have absolutely zero faith UofLs staff can maintain his interest and lock him down if...

    Aaron Torres says Calipari making a "colossal mistake" for not recruiting Mgbako.

    Scouting reports all mention him as someone who will need to work on his body to be able to play through contact. He made 8 threes in his high school career.
