It made their front page. That’s about all we can reasonably expect.

Basketball program lands recruit in June isn’t really top sports news when the NHL and NBA are wrapping up their postseasons and two blockbuster NFL trades happened the same day.

I'm surprised the big 3 networks didn't break in to regular programming. The fact that they didn't just proves that the mainstream media hates us.

I don't understand the constant need of justification and validation from ESPN.
I personally couldn't care less if they wrote one article about us.
Just win baby.

I wish Kentucky play Duke this year Duke would blow them off the court
Duke blows alright, their coach does too, that’s how he recruits so well. One thing for sure is that they will beat Louisvilles a— again and again and again. The cards are overrated again this year with pieces that that won’t mesh as a team. They will just collect their money and move on.

The reason is media attention is a major factor in program recognition for recruiting. Above someone said Duke would blow us out? Why? They have lost their best players so I don't think they would beat us as the season progresses.

Of course its not on the front page. According to many on this board, UK basketball is dead and buried.
Had Milan not committed it would be a story for all espn sport casts to lead off with.. the hate is real from espn. Jwill , Stephen A would be going ham on UK negatively.. Bilas would come off vacation to amplify the negativity flames.

The dumbest most insecure fan base in any sport. Whining because the sports world didn't stop and give proper deference to Uk.

Just like the last time they played. Duke was loaded with a guy who is one of the best college freshmen in years and they mopped the floor wothbUK. Wait…..hold on…..

Hardly anything on there regarding UK and especially after Momcilovic committed.
Why are you watching ESPN if Kentucky isn’t playing? I couldn’t tell you a thing they have said in a long, long time.
