    When the NCAA ruled Enes Kanter ineligible, didn't UK make Kanter a student manager so that he could practice with the team.

    Metcalfe thinks UK has the best transfer class fwiw

    The #1 transfer class, to go along with 4 quality players returning to go along with probably a top-5 recruiting class. All the pieces are in place barring a rash of injuries to win #9

    The Rupp Arena Effect

    We've all seen this so many times, like when a bad shooting Arkansas team came in here last season & shot the lights out. I'll never forget the time that I heard a national announcer it might have been Gus Johnson when he called Rupp Arena The Mecca Of College Basketball. Stuff like this is the...

    Love these big guys from Europe. If this guy can walk & chew gum at the same time I hope we sign him.

    Quaintance moving around nicely

    Derek Anderson when he played here, blew his knee out in January or early February & the doctors said he was ready to play in the NCAA tournament in late March. Pitino held him out because he was afraid that another knee injury would cost him an NBA career. Quaintance should be 100% by the time...

    UK moving into lodge player videos

    I remember the 1st Wildcat Lodge (The Joe B Hall Wildcat Lodge) I'll never forget how other basketball programs complained about it's giving Kentucky an unfair advantage over everyone else. And the NCAA making UK make changes like taking out the extra long beds, they even got so petty as to make...

    Is it close or not

    The upcoming team of ours will probably be the deepest team in college basketball. And is my pick to win the national championship...... BUT our 1996 team is one of the 3 or 4 greatest teams in the history of college basketball. The 96 team by 10.

    Tom Thibodeau fired. Do the Knicks go after Dan Hurley?

    Dan Hurley with his abrasive attitude probably wouldn't go over too well in the NBA.

    Sleepers Media Video: Is Kentucky Too Talented?

    Too talented would mean we've got something like 7 or 8 first round draft picks. Well that's not the case. But we are definitely a very deep team. Probably the deepest team in the country with quality players 1 thru 14.

    ACC Shakeup

    SMU has the potential to be really good in football. Cal & Stanford brings nothing but a few eyeballs to the ACC. Cincinnati & WVU would be a better ACC fit than any of the west coast teams. Getting rid of the California teams and replacing them with WVU & Cincinnati would make for a better ACC.

    Pope has found his GM and Bodyguard

    Where was this photo taken? Was Costner in Lexington. If he's a UK fan that's great. Sure doesn't hurt to have celebrities hanging around your basketball program. Ashley Judd, Drake, Kevin Costner.

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

    Last season when healthy we're a Top 5 team with I believe it was an NCAA record 8 wins against top 15 teams. With wins over a Final Four team Duke & a win over national champion Florida. Our upcoming team for next season is bigger, deeper & more talented than the team we just had. We are way...

    What is your likelihood ranking of Kentucky players being drafted in 2025 nba draft

    Not a big chance that many of our players gets drafted in the 2025 NBA draft. A very good chance that a bunch of our players get drafted in the 2026 draft, probably several in the 1st round.

    Tis the Season

    Sure hope you're right. But if Garrison is going to be another Jamaal Magloire he's going to have to get a lot meaner & a lot more physical.
