    Tipton just released info on Stokes

    There is plenty to criticize about Pope the coach, a man that has spent the majority of his life playing with and coaching young men of all different racial backgrounds, without the cheap shots at his religion. This is going below the belt and delving into some real pathetic and nasty talk on...

    Mason Williams to UK

    I'm not upset about this if he's willing to put in the work. NBA pedigree and I really like the shooting stats. Players that can shoot and hit are necessary for the Pope system to work. Obviously need some more to go with him.

    Cal's return fire on Pope

    This moron just cost me my bracket and he's up there bragging about all the money Chicken George and them backwoods Fayetteville Fools gave him to work with for next year 🤣. LOL. WHAT ABOUT THIS YEAR! Always making an excuse for underperforming. Sounds like someone else we know! We'll get 'em...

    Arizona by 20...

    And just think, the man with all that "Chicken Man" and Walton family slave labor money backing him lost with all that future NBA All-Star talent to MARK POPE at The Pig Pen 😳 (UK fans aren't surprised, we watched him lose with NBA talent to mid teams and coaches quite a bit near the end). I...

    Jasper's uncle speaks out

    Why is the uncle THIS invested? If I was his uncle I would tell him the truth. "You need to attack the weight room all summer and work on your ball handling skills. You aren't good enough right now, you have to get better." Pretty clear they had "one and done" delusions for him and reality has...

    Champions Blue LLC, New York Times article

    To me it was clear JMI wasn't the hurdle everyone was making it out to be (some things I don't love about the deal for sure, but nothing that explains all of Pope's recruiting failures). EVERY coach at UK is having recruiting success.... except for the one with the weird personality, in the...

    Mitch’s response after Drew turned him down

    Mitch every time he has to hire a Kentucky Basketball coach:

    JMI Issue

    I'm not saying the JMI deal shouldn't be questioned or even investigated, but I also don't think it explains Pope's struggles. Kenny Brooks has 3 consensus Top 40 players committed for next season under the JMI deal. Will Stein is crushing it in recruiting under the JMI deal. The only one...

    Jason Hart possibly to HC @ Pepperdine

    From what I've read: -Pate never signed a two-way contract, but he did sign an Exhibit 10 contract. -Bediako signed three Exhibit 10 contracts, one of which was converted to a two-way contract. The NCAA cited his signing of these "three NBA contracts" as their reasoning for declaring him...

    Jason Hart possibly to HC @ Pepperdine

    Isn't there a good chance that the NCAA says Pate is ineligible? What am I missing here that has everyone so confident he will be allowed to play? He signed an Exhibit 10 contract which the current NCAA President considers a pro deal. Just because the player and staff think he SHOULD be eligible...

    Matt Jones says UK will not have as much NIL for next season

    For years we were told that Mitch was great at generating revenue for the university from the donor class and that was one of key roles of an AD and why we shouldn't get rid of him. Now UK and the athletic department are going broke. Which is it 🤔?

    Assistant coach rumor news

    They all need to go. I don't see ANY assistant we do hire being able to fix Pope's recruiting inadequacies, though. If he's truly coming back he needs to reach out and see if there's any interest from retired NBA player development + strength and conditioning guys (no current one in their...

    Potential starting lineup 26-27

    That roster will have us once again playing in the 9 vs. 16 game in the SEC Tournament.... this time as the 16 seed. The saddest part is I don't know if we'll attract much better in the portal. As we've seen for two cycles now, the top guys, even in the portal, still want to play for winners...

    Bulls are terrible again…..Donovan?

    Anything is better at this point 🤷🏻‍♂️.
