    From The Sound of Things…

    But is it a lie? We heard it all last year how he was tearing it up in practice.

    You're going to find out what kind of coach....

    Well, Zoom did come from a losing team as well, and Ousmane is a European player, and most of those guys aren't ready for the physical style of ball that is played in the US. Hawthorne is 100% unproven because he was not ready to play at all last year. Kam had TWO games of double digit scoring...

    Pope badgers should be ashamed of themselves

    If we are going to call people names then you YCGFY. I never understand what makes you think you are so special and better than everyone else that it gives you the right to tell others how to fan, what to think, and what to say. You can go around with your head buried in the sand and act like...

    KSR MJ just said some dumb stuff

    Well, I can actually understand Golden, Oats, and Beard being off limits for a university president. One had been accused of sexual harassment, one has questionable culture because of some players being involved in some serious crimes, and one was charged with domestic abuse or accused of it...

    Kentucky Mount Rushmore?

    Issel - Well, because he is the greatest of the greats to have played here. Walker - Simply because he is probably my all-time favorite Cat, and he pretty much made Barkley cry when he helped UK beat Auburn. Didn't much like Barkley back then, like I do today. Mashburn -...

    St. Johns Joson Sanon G has heard from Kentucky

    You don't know that and besides we need shooters since we really only have 1.

    St. Johns Joson Sanon G has heard from Kentucky

    Do you see his shooting splits and averages? Guess not since since you made this post.

    Is Jai our guy?

    Sean Miller at Texas. He had Arizona rolling before he got in trouble there.

    This is the Fanbase’s Fault

    Have no idea. After the first part, I stopped reading because it was all BS. No player is not going to come to UK because because some unknown fan said bad things on a freakiing message board. You need to get real with yourself. We are not that important to them. The reason is simple because...

    Curious about head coach when you became a fan

    Hall mid 70's, listening to the radio with my dad. That is why it is more than just basketball for many UK fans.

    Does this board help or hurt UK basketball?

    The only people who pay attention to message boards are the people who post on them, and probably some media members just trying to get the pulse of a fan base. If a message board scares a recruit off, then it probably wouldn't have been the best place for them to start with.

    Our new Player Development Coach's Thoughts On Recruiting

    Screw data. Let's look at the teams currently still playing in March. How many of those are system driven and how many have stud players? That is what to look at. Data is fine to use as a tool to go along with everything else, especially your eyes.

    BB: 2026-2027 TRANSFER PORTAL

    I respect that Noah is living his dream but he needs to be up the at EKU or Morehead. If he really wanted to be a dominant player go to one of the top NAIA schools.

    BB: 2026-2027 TRANSFER PORTAL

    Not many 7 footer centers are. I will give you that yes some are very quick and some are athletic but you are comparing him to the minority of college centers. That is why up until the game changed and went to be guard oriented big guys that were difference makers were hard to find. Not to...

    Two rules that are being ignored….

    Moving screens. Defensive players are already at a disadvantage so allowing the blatant moving/not set screens is bad. Also the blow to the head flagrant rule needs to be looked at. It is either 100% enforced or you have to make it a intentional blow to the head. Which leaves it up to the refs...
