Mike Slive says that John Wall is facing eligibility issues
I wonder if one of Bill Simmons “Stomach Punch Losses” has ever happened before the opening of a season. If not, I’m pretty sure losing John Wall to ineligibility would qualify. A key thing to recognize is that UK is well aware of this and has been working to resolve these issues and is confident [...]
Kyrie Irving saga continues, ZagsBlog sounds second apparent false alarm
A few weeks ago, Kyrie Irving wrapped up a visit to Duke that met and exceeded all of his expectations. Word started to circulate then that Irving would publicly commit to Duke very shortly. Well, it’s been a few weeks and Kyrie has since made two good visits to Texas A&M and most recently to [...]
Terrence Jones cuts 2, UK in the mix
Kansas website The Shiver (can anyone explain that name?) is reporting that they received an email from top 2010 forward Terrence Jones’ mother Linda Mashia-Jones informing them that Kansas and Arizona are no longer in the running for the star Oregon player. “We will not be making an official visit to Kansas or Arizona,” said [...]
‘Cats getting some national love
A couple quick links to national stories to get you even more jacked up about Kentucky basketball. First, Gary Parrish is continuing to show love to John Wall, this time naming him the top point guard in the country, and Sherron Collins is none too pleased: Why he’s here: I’ve pretty much tied my reputation [...]
Notes from UK’s Saturday Morning and Afternoon Practices
All of the hype surrounded Friday night’s Big Blue Madness festivities. The lights, the introductions, the glitz, the all-star game caliber scrimmage and of course John Calipari’s State of the Bluegrass address. However, if you wanted to get a first look at what this Kentucky team is really going to be like, than Saturday’s morning [...]
Tobias Harris, Kyrie Irving enjoy visit to UK and they aren’t afraid to Tweet it
It’s been a long time in the making, but I think I have officially come around on Twitter. Before, we had to wait until a Monday after a recruit’s visit to hear how thing are going on campus. Now, we get to hear direct from the source in real time. This weekend was a prime [...]
Electric Big Blue Madness introduces Commonwealth to its team
Big Blue Madness is an event I’ve always wanted to attend, but it’s never quite worked out…I think I picked a good one for my first time. For the 18,000 or so in attendance, what a spectacle. Coach John Calipari and UK Athletics recognized a couple opportunities in the way they put together the [...]
Patrick Patterson, face of UK
And I don’t think I could pick a better guy to represent Kentucky. This article has been making the rounds today, but it’s another (and maybe the best) reason to feel warm and fuzzy on the day of Big Blue Madness. It’s rare to see an athlete so young grasp so clearly the magnitude of [...]
UK sets stage for Big Blue Madness with a buzzing Media Day
I don’t think I’m alone in saying that I have spent most of my day since getting home from work catching up on what I missed at UK Media Day today. There is more information out there than I could ever sift through in one evening, but I’m doing what I can to comb through [...]
Courier-Journal has live feed of Calipari at UK Media Day
As much as I would like to be at UK Media Day to be a part of the craziness, alas, I have a real job. We’ll bring you word of any particularly interesting happenings from the day, but in the mean time, head on over to the Courier-Journal’s website to watch Coach Cal’s comments at [...]
