    Kam Williams is the X factor?

    Kam is definitely more a 3 and D wing guy than a creator. He's more "smooth" and deliberate (read that as slower but controlled) offensively than guys who can get downhill. I like him as a cutter without the ball, backscreen and down screen guy. He has to move without the ball (which he started...

    Justin McBride new pickup game highlights

    He's going to prove to be very difficult to keep off the floor. I know in Pope's system "starters" really don't matter, but I expect McBride to get a lion's share of minutes at the 4. People are sleeping on him and penciling in N'Daiye or Kam over him.

    Rank Pope's 3rd Year Recruting Class

    Yeah, the portal rankings are sometimes weird (in that they give out different numbers of 5 stars total each year). This year they only gave out 5 (on 24/7) needing a rating of 98.0 to achieve a fifth star. Bidunga, Momcilovic, Blackwell, Yessoufou, and Diop. Juke Harris (from Wake Forest)...

    Rank Pope's 3rd Year Recruting Class

    Milan is a 5 star transfer portal ranked player. This is only transfer portal rankings and doesn't include High School recruits.

    1 spot left

    Nah. Unless a reclass guy or a Euro REALLY wants to come in and use a year to develop for basically pennies, you just use the roster spot for a practice squad/walk on guy if you use it at all. We've got enough "Lower Level" in state guys on the roster already. The remaining talent pool is bare...

    Rank Pope's 3rd Year Recruting Class

    Pretty sure he meant Kam Williams, not Mason Williams

    Rank Pope's 3rd Year Recruting Class

    C seems fair. F for high school recruiting, A for portal for a C average.

    Kentucky basketball pride gone?

    Didn't Pope basically say we have a "4 Headed GM", like four people doing the jobs that essentially 1 GM would do. I believe it was in the timeframe when he asked BBN to ask him questions and he came back with a few chosen questions to answer. Edited: Found it. Kentucky's 4-Person Front Office...

    KY-WVA Regional Championship Game Thread !!

    If it was Fruit Stripe, then I understand his choice. That's about how long the flavor lasts. All others though are reason for banishment.

    If Pope doesn't get Milan

    Pope is definitely a problem, no argument there. But to say JMI is not an issue for basketball is a little too "finalistic". Football gets the benefit of A) having roughly $15 Mil in Rev Share money from the Athletic Department allotted to it, separate from NIL, to spend on it's roster. This...

    If Pope doesn't get Milan

    I was just trying to establish what exactly "Killing It" is as a base line. 2026 HS Recruiting Rankings: Overall - 38th, Composite - 60th, Transfer - 10th We have signed 0 Five Stars, 15 Four Stars, and 58 Three Stars between the two cycles. Are we saying that is incredible for UK? Above...

    If Pope doesn't get Milan

    58 3 star recruits and 15 4 stars is killing it in Football recruiting?

    No Words, Just a Number

    13 I'll caveat that by saying the AP is likely to rank us inside the top 10 for ratings and hype purposes so the Champions Classic game on Nov 10th against Kansas in Chicago is a "Battle of Top 10 Blue Bloods". Because November rankings mean absolutely nothing other than for marketing.

    Milan to UK?

    Yeah a few former Cats do. Randle, Monk, Wallace, Murray, (and that Sharpe fella we don't claim) just to name a few. But the fact we have several current NIL deals in place through Excel with guys on the roster currently means (for once) we have an agency that knows how to deal with JMI, and at...
