It’s Thursday, which means two things: Kentucky Basketball’s bye week is almost over, AND it’s time for a new KSR Happy Hour. Let’s celebrate with a Country Boy brew. Today, Drew Franklin and I are joined by Zack Geoghegan and Jacob Polacheck, who will catch us up on what Mark Pope said in his weekly press conference ahead of Saturday’s game at Florida. We’ll also preview the game vs. the Gators, talk about the SEC standings with less than a month to go, the start of the Kentucky Baseball season, and the NBA All-Star Game. Did you know that’s this weekend? Now you do! We’ll also share our favorite parts of the Olympics so far and talk about the photo of Rick Pitino having dinner with what appears to be John Calipari’s twin brother.

What a week it’s been for Kentucky basketball! It started with a big-time road win at Arkansas, followed by a statement response at home vs. Oklahoma — a desperate team whose coach’s seat is red-hot. Now, the Wildcats have won seven of eight ahead of another MASSIVE opportunity against Tennessee with the Volunteers looking for revenge. Unfortunately for them, it’s the debut of the denim throwbacks and the 1996 national championship reunion to celebrate the 30th anniversary of that historic title. Can Mark Pope make it three straight and eight of nine with all of his former teammates in attendance? Sources Say goes LIVE to break it all down!

The early signing period came and went this week without Kentucky officially adding anyone else to the 2026 roster but that doesn’t mean things are quiet. A busy January has come to a close this week and there is a lot to unpack. Could a commitment wave arrive in February? Things are heating up for the Cats on the recruiting trail. The 11 Personnel crew is back for another episode in KSR’s virtual studios to discuss the latest with the Kentucky football program. Nick Roush and myself will talk Brady Hull, the behemoth recruiting spreadsheet that dropped on KSR+ this week, national media on Will Stein, Super Bowl best bets, and much more. 11 Personnel is presented by Monticello Bank.

After an 0-2 start in the SEC, Kentucky has responded with five straight victories — the latest being back-to-back must-have wins at Rupp Arena vs. Texas and Ole Miss. Can the Wildcats keep it rolling with back-to-back road trips to Nashville and Fayetteville this week against two ranked opponents? It’d be massive for the resume, but it’ll be much easier said than done, especially with Jaland Lowe out for the year, Jayden Quaintance’s status still very much up in the air and Kam Williams undergoing surgery to repair a broken foot.

After a chaotic couple of weeks in the transfer portal, we have a Kentucky football roster. 11 Personnel is here to dissect all of the new additions and what it means for the Wildcats. Once the dust settled on the roster overhaul, Will Stein spent 40 minutes touching on a wide range of topics with the media. He gave us plenty to discuss. Let’s dive in.

The Cardiac Cats did it again! Down by 17-plus in back-to-back true road games, Kentucky stormed back to first beat LSU in Baton Rouge, then Tennessee in Knoxville for Mark Pope’s first three-game winning streak in the SEC regular season as head coach. Crazy, right? Against the Tigers, it was all about Malachi Moreno’s buzzer-beater — one we’ll all be talking about for years to come, fighting back from down 18 to pull off a miracle. Otega Oweh and Denzel Aberdeen gave the Cats life in the second half and the Georgetown native closed it out. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Kentucky‘s backcourt now has a Jaland Lowe-sized hole for the rest of the year as PG1 will undergo season-ending surgery on his shoulder. What’s next for the Wildcats, particularly in his absence? There was a lot to like about the performance against Mississippi State — even with Lowe out for most of the game. Is it sustainable? What do we think of Jasper Johnson stepping up in that spot? Will he step up in that spot, starting as soon as LSU on Wednesday? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In Episode 53 of The Memorial Memo, KSR’s Phoenix Stevens talks about Kentucky women’s basketball’s big-time win against Oklahoma (and the Alabama loss, but briefly because who wants to remember that?) before previewing the team’s next two games against Florida and Mississippi State. Of course, it wouldn’t truly be an episode of The Memorial Memo without some rankings updates as well. This week, there are some controversial takes on where Kentucky stands amongst the top teams in the country, and Phoenix offers his thoughts after an action-packed week.

The second weekend of transfer portal recruiting reached levels of unexpected awesomeness. Will Stein is firmly in the middle of a heater, and 11 Personnel is here to break it all down. Kentucky has picked up so many transfer portal commitments. It’s hard to keep track of them all. That’s why Nick Roush and Adam Luckett get paid the Big Blog Bucks. The Wildcats have landed 11 players in 24 hours to get to 25 transfer portal additions. That’s a lot. — Kentucky’s enormous move at offensive tackle. — Adding Texas flavor to the roster. — Is Stein ever going to sleep? — Dead Period Starts Tomorrow Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Missouri was the straw that broke the camel’s back for Kentucky, a nightmarish season for Mark Pope and the Wildcats that doesn’t appear to be getting better anytime soon. How do you give up a 15-2 run to end the game and choke away an eight-point lead in the final segment to earn a Quad 3 loss? Unfortunately, that’s what we have to talk about tonight on Sources Say. The irony is we talked about this result as something we wouldn’t even address, knowing what it means in a truly must-win scenario for a program struggling to keep its head above water. We joked that falling to the Tigers would mean NCAA Tournament chances take a serious hit with no obvious path to fixing things — because if you lose to Mizzou at home, why wouldn’t you lose to all of the other comparable mediocre competition on the schedule? This was thought to be a winning stretch where you could build some momentum. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

With the holidays over, KSR Happy Hour is back in its normal Thursday 4 p.m. ET slot. Grab a Country Boy brew, because a lot is going on, meaning we have a lot to talk about. Nick Roush and Jacob Polacheck are joining me this week to recap the latest happenings in the Transfer Portal, including how many hours of sleep they’ve gotten since it opened. Try as we might, we can’t ignore the Kentucky Basketball game that took place last night. The 73-68 loss to Missouri was bad. We’ll vent about the current state of the program midway through Mark Pope’s second season, and give our predictions on what lies ahead. When that gets too depressing, we’ll preview the College Football Playoffs. Are we all in on Oregon, or do we want Will Stein back in Lexington as soon as possible?

Things did NOT go well for the Kentucky Wildcats in Tuscaloosa, getting blown out once again at Alabama in a game that was never really close — even at full strength with Jaland Lowe and Jayden Quaintance out there. What went wrong and how is it fixed with a winnable run of games coming up? What’s the deal with the weirdness from Mark Pope (plus the opposite from Nate Oats, who wasn’t shy about the subtle jabs after the fact)? Don’t forget about the revealing media opportunity featuring Mo Dioubate and Jaland Lowe going into the Missouri matchup this week… Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Happy New Year’s Eve, Big Blue Nation! We know you have big plans tonight to ring in 2026, but how about a new edition of Sources Say to help pass the time until the ball drops at midnight? That’s at 12 AM, so how about rolling with, say, 12 PM ET for this one? We’ve got plenty to talk about, obviously, with Kentucky finishing 2025 on a high note winning four straight — including two against name-brand competition, finally — and the debut of Jayden Quaintance. Is it enough to have you feeling good going into SEC play in January? Is this the Final Four contender we all thought it’d be when the season started?

Chaos is right around the corner. The college football transfer portal opens on Jan. 2. Before the madness begins, 11 Personnel is here to prepare BBN for Will Stein‘s first free agency. A new coach means there will be a significant amount of roster turnover. Where will the attrition come from? Who will Kentucky target? Can the Cats land a big fish? We’re discussing it all on the 11 Personnel Transfer Portal Preview. — Top Targets on Luckett’s Big Board — Change in coaching staff philosophy — Schools that may send multiple players to Kentucky — Will BBN get surprised by a significant departure?

Sources Say has some crow to eat, and they’re bringing in a heavy-hitter to prepare some of it in the form of Michael Moreno — former Eastern Kentucky basketball star and brother of current Wildcat, Malachi Moreno. Where did things go wrong to start the season and how did this team climb out of rock bottom to pull off back-to-back wins vs. Indiana and St. John’s before Christmas? There is still work to do, obviously, but just how many of the problems are fixed? Is it simply an identity shift? Or the availability of both Jaland Lowe and Jayden Quaintance?

The first big move was at the top. Now the man at the top has some big moves to make. Will Stein is in the process of assembling his first coaching staff at Kentucky. There are vital roles that must be filled. Who is going to join Stein at Kentucky? 11 Personnel is here to share what we’re hearing. While most of BBN’s attention is on KSBoard to see who could be the next to join the fold, that’s only a small fraction of what’s unfolding. The latest coming to a new edition of 11 Personnel… — Joe Sloan shows recruiting chops with Kenny Darby commitment — Kentucky appears to be in a bidding war with Texas for an assistant coach — Landing spots for former Kentucky coaches — A lot of potential Louisiana flavor on this staff, and why it could work — Notre Dame’s embarrassing CFP behavior Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving, Big Blue Nation! Kentucky is coming off back-to-back wins over Loyola (Md.) and Tennessee Tech — impressive efforts for the Wildcats leading to massive blowouts — but all eyes are on the week ahead with a pair of ranked opportunities waiting after a disappointing start to the year in such matchups at Louisville and in the Champions Classic vs. Michigan State. What went well for the Cats against the Greyhounds and Golden Eagles? Is any of it sustainable, especially with the new-look starting lineup featuring Kam Williams and Malachi Moreno? Will Otega Oweh be able to step up on the big stage for the first time this season? How do you shut down former UK target Caleb Wilson? Special thanks to today’s Sources Say sponsors, LG&E and KU, SeatGeek and Monticello Bank! LG&E and KU knows that when the lights go out, it can feel like a full-court press.
