    BB: 2027 Basketball Recruiting Tracker

    I don’t know how to build a title contending basketball team. I don’t claim to know. What I do know is that 26 losses and 2 first weekend exits in 2 years doesn’t cut it. And to me it seems that the vast majority of prime targets, whether from high school or the portal, are going elsewhere. It...

    Demarcus Henry to UNC

    If true, that works for me. Either he has a great season this year and gets to pay to keep the team together or he has another 12 loss season & early tournament exit and leaves a huge budget for his successor.

    Gun to head. Decision must be made today (10/24)

    I know there were heavy whispers that Donovan wanted the job when we hired Pope, but with NIL and transfers being what they are, I just can’t imagine a 61 year-old with an NBA assistant job would want to deal with the college scene as it is. I mean, money talks but he must be sitting pretty...

    We obviously didn’t take Vandy seriously

    Reverse jinx’s always work. It’s just science. Thanks OP!

    ***** OFFICIAL Vandy vs UK FB Game Thread *****

    7-1 with 2 top-10 wins is hard to argue with.

    Top 5 if we win?

    If he finishes even just decently, I could see some coach of the year awards coming his way.

    I gotta say, I love the play calling on that drive. It got the TD and it took 5 minutes off the clock. Great call to go for it on fourth.

    SIAP: CFP expanding to 24 teams in 2027

    Yeah, I think it’s great. It’ll make for a really exciting postseason and Kentucky will be in there occasionally, which will be awesome. Being able to honestly tell recruits “we are competing for a national championship” could have a major impact. The Bowls will essentially be the NIT of...

    I never gave up

    Yeah that was huge. Defensive playmakers can cover a lot of sins for a team.

    Question for those who are against Pope

    I kinda agree with this. I don’t want to fire him blindly and end up hiring John Pelphry or something. If this season spent go well, work the back channels on the DL see who would take the job. Then make the call later.

    I’m really trying not to get my hopes too high but when they keep defying the odds and pulling out tough games, it’s hard not to…

    Just not seeing it

    Yep. With the transfer rule being what it is, three years is plenty to show that you can build a team that at least resembles a title contender. At this point, he hasn’t shown that he can do any better than Cal’s last few years. Another 12-15 loss season & early tournament exit and I’m ready to...

    BYU in the top 10 is such a joke.

    With two top ten wins, I bet we’re top 15. If we had stayed competitive against Bama instead of getting throttled in the second half, we’d be top 10.
  14. jrpross_rivals

    I think Kentucky FB has a legitimate case to be ranked as high as #15

    If we had kept it close against Bama, we would be top 10. Having beaten 2 top ten teams, one on the road, I think top 15 is very warranted.

    I mean, they’ve gotta be top 15 now right? 2 top 10 wins, one on the road?…
