    Former UK target Desmond Claude commits to Washington

    For a while he was discussed as UK's best wish list candidate for an Oweh replacement. Oweh is returning so no need for said replacement.

    Pray for Hometown of Springfield (Washington Co)

    When I think of Springfield, I am reminded of Jimmy Hamilton. Springfield was his base of operations for decades when he was a very prominent gas, oil and coal businessman with extensive holdings in southeastern Kentucky. He was also a big time booster of UK basketball and a very close friend...

    Cooper Flagg $28 Million NIL at Duke

    I don't get the "pay cut" premise. Duke paid him far less than his NBA salary in direct NIL money and the value of his endorsement deals will only increase in the NBA.

    Pray for Hometown of Springfield (Washington Co)

    A complete and utter miracle that the death toll was not 10-15 times the actual number of fatalities. More than 100 homes completely obliterated by an EF4 tornado with estimated wind speeds of 180 mph that struck in the middle of the night. No photo or video can accurately depict the devastation.

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

    Yeah. Both of those 2 seeds lost in the first game of the tournament to 15 seeds, two of the most devastating (and embarrassing) defeats in UK history. After the Oakland disaster, I gave up my family's season tickets that we held since Rupp Arena opened in 1976.

    Pope wants to play blue bloods and other heavyweights home and home

    Let's name a few classics at Rupp. Syracuse with Derrick Coleman, Sherman Douglas and Rony Seikaly in 1988. Phi Slamma Jamma with Olajuwon in 1984. UNC in 2011. The home atmosphere for those games is off the charts.

    Question about Travis Perry and NIL money...

    The stereotypes regarding college players who don't make the NBA are pretty weird also. Maybe Travis Perry aspires to be a physician and recognizes the current explosion of NIL money as his opportunity to bank the capital he would need to purchase a nice medical practice and embark on his...

    2027 PF target Mitchell

    If this kid is 6'8" as a 15-16 year old HS sophomore, he could get to 6'10" or 6'11" by the time he arrives on a college campus. Definitely an exciting prospect.

    Collin chandler post workout video with 96 denim shorts

    Chandler is a way quicker and more explosive athlete thean Jaxson Robinson. When the rust began coming off his shooting and ball handling skills later in the season, it convinced me that he will be a major contributor next year. Glad to see him putting in the work.

    Hopefully Jasper is on Fears' level next year

    Not since 9th grade.

    Hopefully Jasper is on Fears' level next year

    Johnson is taller and longer than Fears. He can fill in at three positions. I have no doubt that the 10-12 minutes you are hoping for will come to fruition.

    Travis Perry

    Two of those others are Frank Kornet from Lexington Catholic and Scott Draud from Ft. Thomas Highlands. Kornet was All-SEC in 1989 and played for the Bucks in the NBA. His son Luke also went to Vandy and is still playing in the NBA with the Celtics. Their father was a UK professor. Draud was...

    Acaden Lewis to Villanova

    Too bad for Acaden Lewis that he did not have the same confidence about him winning the starting PG position as you do. When Pope sought additional commitments for UK's backcourt, Lewis folded like an umbrella.

    Kentucky In Touch With Miami Transfer Divine Ugochukwu

    This guy is exactly what we need for those late game situations with Lowe and Aberdeen fatigued and/or in foul trouble and facing full court pressure. He has speed, quickness, handle, court vision and will make free throws. We don't need him to be a three-point shooter in those moments. We...
