    Serbian Pavle Backo - Backup Center

    Clearly skilled and talented, but also clearly a big man who plays below the rim, and he doesn't appear to be overwhelmingly tall to obviously overcome his lack of elevation. I'd be worried how effective he can be against the size and athleticism of the SEC and other elite college basketball teams.

    Indiana doubles their student section around the court

    Correct, they took 32, 31, and the band from the sideline to the endzone. And yes, it only happened because UK wanted it too, but the students were begging for years to be in the endzone because they somehow thought that would be a more ideal location for them. So students were thrilled with...

    Indiana doubles their student section around the court

    This is true. Then in the 90s the students b*tched and moaned incessantly about wanting to move to the endzone like they saw on TV at some other programs. Eventually UK made that happen and moved the students from the courtside seats to the endzone, thus creating the eRUPPtion zone. I never...

    Jean Montero

    On the one hand, this is why I think many folks dramatically overreact if we don't sign any particular player among a short list of guys here in the states who we are told are the very best, must have recruits. It's a HUGE world out there with LOTS of very talented players. And particularly in...

    Squeezing that viewership as long as they can.

    Stokes announcing at 6:30 EST

    ESPN has no desire to rush the announcement. They’re happy to keep eyeballs on the program and waiting.

    No 5th year for OO

    Yep. The NCAA doesn't really get to make or enforce any rules anymore, unless or until it gets challenged in court and decided upon by a judge.

    Stokes and Oweh

    Ha! Last year's seniors will all have lawyers and be in court shortly to have a judge overrule that.

    NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Teams can participate in a foreign trip every year during the summer now

    A few thoughts about this: 1. Why was this ever limited to only once every so many years anyway? Seems like another random rule the NCAA wrote for no particular or useful reason. But, whatever. 2. And does it have to be a "FOREIGN" tour? Must schools leave the country in order to take...

    Not gonna lie, I am a little disappointed

    Agents for the best players in the portal (who I assume/hope we are trying to land) know full well that UK/Pope is desperate to kill it in the portal. Why have their clients rush into a commitment as soon as the portal opens when you can leverage the next 11-12 days for a bigger payday? I'm...

    Anybody surprised Stein has not signed a QB yet ?

    Are we not counting Minchey? And I believe Matt Ponatoski signed shortly after Stein was hired.

    We have to be huge Duke fans today

    Can they both just somehow lose to each other today? Best outcome, if possible.

    Cryptic Garrison tweet

    I don't care if he leaves. I don't necessarily mind if he stays, IF, and only IF he actually commits to improving over the summer. He has some tools to work with if he gets serious about basketball. But I don't think he has the, shall we say, mental capacity? to be serious about basketball as...

    Indiana FB cheating

    Out of curiosity... regardless of whether this story is true or not...would such an action by Indiana truly be "cheating" in the sense that it violates some rule that would result in NCAA sanctions? Or is just cheating in the sense that it's unethical and poor form?

    Lowe having surgery Out for season

    This needed to happen because there was no way Lowe was going to survive the season. But it's ridiculously comical how much of a M.A.S.H unit the UK basketball team has become over the past several years.
