    UK All-Quarter Century Team (since 2000)

    Tough list to make. I want SGA, Fox, Wall, and Rondo to start, but.... SGA / Rondo Bogans Prince Hayes Davis Rondo / Wall Knight MKG KAT Cousins Everybody else.

    Aberdeen to UK!

    He could start here as a PG I guess. He has good handles and takes care of the ball. Not a great shooter but he is good enough that defenses can't just sag off of him to clog the lane. Free throws are pretty much terrible. He had a rough tourney stats wise, but he brings size, experience, and...

    Aberdeen enters portal

    Sounds like he is looking for a pay bump. Welcome to the age of the mercenary.

    Ament to Vols

    They certainly have the money. Not sure he is worth the huge payday but whatever. Just glad is wasn't Duke.

    Pierre to SMU!

    Yep, that big Dallas money. SMU has already stated that they are committed to rebuilding the football program at any cost, so I guess the same extends to basketball too. In the age of pay for play there isn't a better example of irony than one of the only program in history to get the death...

    Approximate pay for high major players per Jeff Goodman

    Not sure why they are still giving people who make this kind of money free rides through college. Just put a roster limit in place and give those scholarships to people who actually need them.

    UK action figures

    This is a good forward thinking idea that could give UK an edge in the market. Players would love to have input on their own figure. Someone forward this to UK's NIL / marketing department. ➖ Not Mitch. Absolutely not Mitch. ➖

    Rotation for next year?

    I don't disagree. I think he is ready from an offensive standpoint. European courts are smaller so the open court thing you mentioned should work out very well for him. Hope the dude can pass. If so he could fill in nicely for Amari to walk the ball up and set the offense. It's his defense and...

    Rotation for next year?

    I don't know, but we are loaded. I have to wonder if Jelavic is going to be a bit of a project. He will see time but I don't know enough about him to say how effective he will be. JQ will come along slowly so that might help him out. Not sure about Pope's policy on freshmen either. I am sure...

    A lot of you guys are wrong about one aspect of Barnhart

    Make sure you know who butters your bread. Take care of them and you will always eat.

    Andrija Jelavic commits to UK!

    So we got our stretch four. Great news. Now get him over here so that he can start to adjust to life in the US so that we can get the tummy troubles over before the season starts. Only question I have is can he defend and rebound at all?

    Brandon Garrison.

    Garrison's shot isn't ugly he just air balls a lot of shots. He hasn't got the range dialed in yet, or I keep telling myself anyway. Otherwise he reminds me of Carr, not great at any one thing and kinda weak. He needs to see the weight room every single day. My main hope, outside of his skill...

    Acaden Lewis signed

    I bet he lands at North Carolina.

    A lot of coaches are looking to get out of the game lately. Here’s another.

    It's a young man's game now, so says Todd Golden. I would retire too if I made the kind of money these people have made in the last six or seven years. Why deal with the stress of this NIL churn when you can just relax and live good? If things get sorted they can still make a "come back" later.
