This is actually one of the better ceremonial first pitches I’ve seen. Maybe Cal does still have his fastball.

These two are almost rudely uninterested in Otega Oweh, Jaxson Robinson and Aidan Mahaney updates. 🤷🏻♂️
Players transferring to a third or fourth school are often going to find they’ve lost a bunch of credits along the way. But Utah’s spring semester wraps in a couple weeks, I think. Might solve the problem when those credits are in …

Smith isn’t fumbled. And is still possible. There are just some hurdles.

Kentucky needs a stretch 4 (one visiting now) and a point guard who is a legit 3-point threat and a long wing. Check those off and Pope has a competitive squad. If they get Carr (the 4) and if Jaxson Robinson is basically a lock (I suspect so), then they’re getting close.

The thing about quickly landing three starter-level, athletic defenders is Mark Pope can honestly sell: OK, I’ve got an actual team now, and all my 3-point bombing offense needs is shooters. Easier for those guys to say yes knowing the rest of the roster is coming together.
Mark Pope: “Otega spent his entire season last year picking up the point guard full court in the Big 12. His tenacity on the court is contagious.” Three transfers, three physically mature, aggressive defenders.

Stepped away for an hour and Kentucky got another one. Roster is coming together now. Otega Oweh is a 6-5, 210-pound guard, former top-100 recruit who started 37 games in two years at Oklahoma. Averaged 11.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals and shot 38% from 3 last season.

The other Hurley appears to be making moves.
I’m also pretty sure most Kentucky fans were tired of starting-job promises to get players.

Pope says Butler, now officially signed, “might be the best perimeter defensive player in all of college basketball.” Certainly on the short list.

If he’s a 6-7 wing who wants to be assured of a starting job and you’re confident you can land a 6-7 wing who played for you at the last place, you don’t make that promise. 🤷🏻♂️

With the 128th pick in the 2024 #NFLDraft the @BuffaloBills select @Ray_Davis07 from the @universityofky!
As I understand it, this was almost entirely about how big of a role a program could promise Stojakovic. Kentucky was very interested but couldn't really guarantee what he was looking for.

I recently vowed I was gonna eat better. We say things.

One thing Kentucky’s new roster needs is length on the perimeter, and 6-7 wing Jaxson Robinson, with two years SEC experience, last year’s Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year at BYU, where he shot 35% from 3 on volume, certainly fits the bill. Now that he’s in portal, I’d predict UK.
Kentucky roster bout to get much better, I’d guess.

@KyleTucker_ATH How dare you sit here and assume the team that will spend two full calendar years as the reigning national champion runs the sport. Read a book one time.
@KyleTucker_ATH Amen to that. Place killed my desire to stay in sportswriting. Glad to see so many people succeeding despite that experience
@KyleTucker_ATH shhh not supposed to talk about that yet
Got home from my road trip to a nice surprise. @JerryTipton new book on his 40+ years of covering @KentuckyMBB is out. Have had many great conversations with Jerry on the Cats, Coach Cal & the state of college hoops through the years. Thank you, Jerry.

@KyleTucker_ATH i just recorded this from a show, no idea what you’re talking about
@KyleTucker_ATH The one I'll always remember is taking down the gate at the top of the stairs that had been there for eight years and three toddlers.
