    Vanderbilt our three months with foot injury

    Damn! Feel so bad for the guy getting injured this close to the season. Was looking forward to watching him, I've read nothing but praise. Seems like he's gonna be a fan favorite once he gets on the court. Maybe he'll come back for a full SO season.

    Vitale goes off on Sports Center

    I agree with this. The academic shadiness at UNC (that's went on for YEARS) alone should be cause for a complete overhaul of the NCAA. The epic mess that is UL just makes it that much worse. Dickie V is annoying as hell to me but he is absolutely right, the NCAA is a joke. A lot of this should...

    Alex Poythress: Pacers Media Day Pic

    I'm happy for that guy, he has worked hard and it is paying off.

    Immanuel Quickley to Kentucky!!!

    I'm a bit out of the loop with recruiting but I love what little I've seen of IQ. Seems like the perfect Cal PG, well rounded skill set and all of the intangibles you'd want. He's gonna carry on the tradition of excellent PGs and be a great leader for UK. Super excited about this guy.

    Tucker: How Wenyen Gabriel can help UK make a run

    WG has tremendous potential. Once he can mentally just go out and play fast but focused he will be one of the best in the SEC. I expect a considerable jump in his performance this year. He showed in the Auburn game what he is capable of when he gets in the flow of things.

    Basketball team looks Jacked!

    Not to get off track here but this is what I've always wondered. Lonzo is an excellent player and he does hit them at a good clip which is what matters, but damn, you raise your boys specifically to be basketball machines and you don't teach them proper shooting technique? It's worked for Lonzo...

    Is Wiggins a max contract player?

    He is 100% a max contract player. He has some major holes in his game and I doubt he'll ever even make an AS game but in the NBA of today you pretty much have to give him a max deal, especially if you're in the frozen tundra of Minnesota. Somebody will if they don't. Like Aike said, best bet is...

    Biggest UK fan in your family

    Easily my Mom. I follow the minutiae a little more and have more general knowledge but on game day she literally turns into a Wildcat. It can be dangerous watching a game with her out in public because even a little gentle ribbing by non fans makes her furious. Normally the sweetest, kindest...

    OKC signs Dakari Johnson to guaranteed 2 year deal

    So happy for Dakari. That guy has put in the work and its finally paying off for him. There's a lot of things he's lacking as a modern NBA big but he will be a nice option for them off the bench. He's the type of guy that would've thrived playing with Jordan on those Bulls teams. Big, tough...

    Wenyen - Breakout year coming up?

    Summer warrior hype is unavoidable at UK. How often do you hear about a player struggling in the summer workouts? But I do like Wenyens game when he plays confident. Add a little weight and muscle and he will be a handful with his high energy. Just need him to play consistently, the Auburn game...

    Former Buckeye players on 2011 team still regret loss to Kentucky

    My favorite win of the Cal era. That Knight jumper was one of the most blissful moments of my life. His struggles in the Princeton game really made me doubt that the team was gonna make a deep run despite the fact that they had really gelled as a team towards the end of the year. I knew they...

    Zion Williamson = Larry Johnson

    Yeah, he's still got time to grow quite a bit. A couple more inches in height would equal multiple millions in NBA $$$.

    Emmitt Williams Wanting UK Offer

    I agree with you on that. Would be a lot of pressure and if you got in his dog house it would be pure hell. It would be great to play with his son though. He could make some miracles happen and would have no problem sacrificing himself for the team. And he'd be great for the after party with his...

    Emmitt Williams Wanting UK Offer

    Yeah he said something along the lines of "getting a call from K was like talking to God" smh. He said good things about Cal/UK too but I would be pretty surprised if he doesn't end up a Dukie. God's the type of guy that you don't turn down easily.

    Best chance to win title?

    Meeks on 2010 is my all time favorite realistic "what if" scenario. It's mind boggling what that team would've looked like had he returned. He probably would've broken some crazy scoring records on that team. So many open 3s for the best pure shooter in UK history.
