Not sure if this means much. So many things can change between now and 2029.

Kind of silly.

An early commitment from the No. 1 player in Kentucky in 2029 is “silly”? That’s certainly a take.

Of course things can change between now and then, everyone knows that. But if you’re a Kentucky fan, why wouldn’t you be happy that one of the state’s top players wants to be part of the program this early? It costs Kentucky nothing, builds relationships, and sends a positive message to other recruits.

Some of y’all seem more determined to downplay good news than celebrate it. At some point, it starts to look less like skepticism and more like you just hate seeing UK get good news.

Don’t be an *******. With the landscape today with NIL and instant transfer nonsense, getting a verbal commitment from a soon to be high school sophomore prospect means next to nothing. Please tell me you understand this.

I’m not being an expletive, I’m being a Kentucky fan celebrating my team’s success. Apparently that’s controversial on this board now.

If Kentucky landing an early commitment from one of the top players in the country doesn’t deserve a little excitement, what exactly are we supposed to celebrate? I’ll leave the doom and gloom to the people who somehow find a negative in every piece of good news. You have fun with that.

Yes! And also, you can just see this kid absolutely loves Kentuckys entire staff. She loves Kenny Brooks like an older brother or uncle or whatever. She was born to play for him and Kentucky. As long as he’s still here or if he leaves we make a great hire, the kid is a Cat. I’m hoping Strack uses the five for five and gets another year here, if so we’re in the final four next year. Maybe this year if these freshman show out. Kenny for Governor. 😆. Seriously, he is doing a fantastic job and I’m proud to have him as our Coach.

More good news ! I love it ! Well recieved news, and .... man! pinch me!!! ...... but Brooks really is knocking it out of the park in women's recruiting. Everyone better get ready to get a big dose of great Kentucky women basketball. It's coming.

I think the word great is overused, but in my book, the job Brooks has done for women's basketball most definitely is GREAT. Now the Stein era begins, and Pope has got his team.

It's been a pretty good offseason.
