    Travis Perry on his departure

    Pretty clearly a case of a kid and his family believing in himself more than most observers do. Which is fine. Yes, playing for UK was a dream, and he could have stayed and not had much of a role, been a Wildcat forever and, as others have said, that likely comes with job opportunities, fame...

    Jasper and Fears

    Jasper played in the 8th region his sophomore year. Have to confess, never saw "top 15 player in the country" coming.......

    What in tarnation is going on with these preseason rankings?!

    Bonus points for use of "tarnation." Is the premise true - do most polls have us 11-20? I've only seen a handful, and they were all between a high of 7 (Sports Illustrated) and a low of I think 12 (can't remember who). Most had us right around 10 I thought. No matter, they will all be wrong...

    Height in 2025-2026

    This shows first-hand the problem with trying to assess height based on pictures. If Potter is really 7'1, then Noah absolutely looks 6'8. But if JQ really is only 6'9, then Noah looks closer to 6'6, and maybe 6'5. Based just on this image, you'd say if Potter really is 7'1 then Quaintance is...

    Is it close or not

    If you are comparing roster or results, not close. ‘96 was better. But that’s a different question than who would win if they played. Example, look at UMass ‘96 roster. One great player and nothing else. And they beat the ‘96 Cats. So it can happen. But overall, no.

    On This Day In 1989, Kentucky Hired Rick Pitino.

    Good point. I think people, society were more patient in those days. And we didn’t have social media, reducing attention spans to mere seconds and throwing gasoline on small fires everywhere

    Saturday Afternoon Bored to Tears

    Yeah, that doth suck. My list wasn’t a complaint, more just a typical Saturday in the suburbs. I don’t know much about shingles sincerely hope you get thru it fast!

    Saturday Afternoon Bored to Tears

    You should come to my house. One, for the 75th day in a row I have a ton of pollen at the bottom of my pool to vacuum. Two, a weep hole in an upstairs bedroom window is clogged or installed wrong and now I have water damage in the flooring of an unused bedroom. Three, my fence out by the road...

    Offseason Complete- Grade Mark Pope

    I've seen speculation about Kentucky's NIL budget, but nothing substantiated.

    What was your favorite U of L tournament loss other than UK?

    2011 was probably the best. In state school. The shot of the mascot covering his head. And you have to remember the context: UofL fans thought Pitino was going to duplicate at Louisville the success he had at Kentucky. He never did that - after getting off to a promising start, he started...

    John calipari jokes with mark pope "dont you ruin my program man "

    Yep. Was time to go for sure. That said the coach who had the most ncaa tournament wins from 2009-10 to 2023-24 was John Calipari. The last 4 years (not 5, not 7, not 10) weren’t good. But running it in the ground doesn’t really apply.

    Ten years from now

    That is what always sort of shocked about our history, relative to peers (Carolina, Duke, Kansas - and UCLA for this issue). We just didn’t have the same number of big names as the others.

    Is SGA UKs version of Michael Jordan?

    I applaud your last sentence - the world needs more civility! Good on you. But.......to say Lebron is the best clutch player of all time is an example of using statistics to build a case for whatever you want. We've seen Lebron falter too many times in too many critical situations to take such...

    Matt Jones's opinion on Jasper

    Have to admit, that surprised me - so I went to Jon Scott's site to look. And actually Reed was 2nd in minutes. Maybe that wouldn't have surprised in real time, but now, just two years later, I had no idea. Reeves 1035 minutes Reed 953 Tre Mitchell 817 DJ 748 Rob 745 Aside: I think Reed...
