    Honest Expectations for 2025-2026 Season

    This is where you just have to understand and appreciate the intangible skills of Pope and his coaching staff. They were the major reason last year's team gelled.

    SI has Cats #7 in another Way Too Early Top 25

    If Golden goes to the NBA, he can't stalk coeds.

    Who is our backup PG?

    It could be any of those three, depending on the game scenario. Chandler proved last year that he can play the backup PF role. Jasper can definitely play that role. I'm sure Aberdeen can too, but don't want to move Aberdeen off the wing. JMO. Even Oweh can play the point but, again, don't...

    Mark Story's Article in LHL today suggests.....

    IMO, it depends on perspective. We don't have two 3-point shooters like Brea and Robinson anymore, notwithstanding that Jasper, Aberdeen, and Williams might be solid from deep. But we have a whole lot more scoring versatility now. Prior to last season, there was so much talk about 3-point...

    What do you feel more confident about?

    Right about Pope anyway.

    Mark Story's Article in LHL today suggests.....

    Story could be right, because Brea and Robinson were not only lights out perimeter shooters but also seniors with tournament experience. Lowe is a penetrator and finisher, not primarily a perimeter scorer. How much will Collin Chandler improve as a sophomore? What do Williams and Aberdeen...

    Tis the Season

    I too expect a strong season. We have a deep roster with upside. I know we are good. I'm just not sure how all the dominoes will fall. So before we get out too far forward over our skis in the offseason, there are some very important unknowns to consider. When will Quaintance be available...

    Ament to Vols

    You and I must have been watching two different players. Perspective is everything. If you go back a year earlier and view tape of Oweh as a sophomore at OK, then you would understand how far he has come with only one season of Coach Pope's teachings. Oweh is one of the most rapidly...

    Next year's expectations

    We should look at this from Pope's point of view. Year #1 was a qualified success with the emphasis on success. Many understand the incredible job Pope did with an entire roster of players who had never suited up at UK before and couldn't stay healthy. The injuries were a huge problem for...

    Sean Miller will probably do very well at Texas

    I agree. Miller learned from his mistakes at AZ and should do very well at TX where the recruiting terrain is quite favorable and money is bottomless.

    Riley cuts Arkansas after UK visit

    I also think Riley will sign with IL. He is very familiar with UK at this point but he likes Antigua and Underwood. We are going to lose some potential recruits during this transitional stage until Coach Pope's culture is established in Lexington and some tangible results are demonstrated...

    Kentucky will have a deep squad

    So far, deep in the backcourt but not on the baseline. I hope the 13th scholarship is given to a young, toolsy baseline player who will be around for development for 3-4 years.

    Siena expects to lose Almonor to UK

    I will take a different point of view on that. I prefer every player to believe they have a path to start and the motor and desire to push for more playing time. Not every player can start, but every player can have the ambition to play and contribute. The reality is that you can have...

    Trying for Lanier

    Another lead guard is obviously not the need. We need a couple of athletic combo forwards now, and it would be nice if at least one of them has multiple years of eligibility left. Sure wish Thiero would come to his senses and return to UK.

    This recruiting class..

    We have Oweh and Williams now. We won't sign any of the other players you mentioned. However, we have a very solid class of transfers that is a great core for this year. The only problem is that most of them only have one season of eligibility left. But that can be managed. Brea, Oweh...
