Sources Say Podcast

It’s the craziest time of the year as Mark Pope looks to rebuild the Kentucky roster going into his third season in Lexington, the portal officially opening this week with the list of available names approaching 2,000. Who will be the additions capable of bringing the Wildcats back to title contention? UK is casting a wide net early with new options being added and taken off the list seemingly by the minute. That’s why Sources Say and Here Comes the Boom are coming together for another joint episode of the show on the KSR YouTube Channel to get to the bottom of the serious targets and those probably safe to ignore, for now. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The most crucial offseason of Mark Pope’s career has officially begun, Kentucky not only adding a point guard, but the point guard’s dad — former All-Star Mo Williams joining as an assistant and bringing his four-star son with him. Those are the biggest dominoes up to this point, along with Jaland Lowe’s decision to enter the transfer portal and two staff departures in Jason Hart and Alvin Brooks III. What do we think of the early moves of Pope and what do we expect to come next? Sources Say goes LIVE for an early afternoon edition of the show.

What in the WORLD happened in College Station? How do you build a 12-point lead and watch it not only disappear, but flip to a 21-point deficit in a matter of minutes? Where do you turn when you have a double-bye within reach and then give it away to force a potential Wednesday start in the SEC Tournament? Also, is Dink Pate the answer to all of Kentucky‘s problems in year three under Mark Pope? It’s a crazy week for the Wildcats and it’s only going to get crazier with this weekend setting up a massive postseason for the head coach and program as a whole.

Is Jayden Quaintance going to return for Kentucky this postseason? It’s now on the table, KSR has learned — and Sources Say is ready to talk about it. We share the latest on the future lottery pick’s status going into the final week of the regular season and how we got to the point where he’s a strength test away from potentially being cleared to practice (and eventually play). What kind of impact can he make? Are there any concerns about reintroducing him this late? Will it actually happen at all?

It wasn’t pretty, but the Cats got it done in Columbia, leaving Colonial Life Arena with a victory over South Carolina to end the three-game losing streak. More importantly, it likely locked up a spot in the NCAA Tournament for Kentucky, putting bad-loss potential in the rearview mirror and focusing solely on good wins the rest of the way — but that doesn’t mean it’s gonna be easy, starting with a rematch vs. Vanderbilt on Saturday. How did Mark Pope’s group get it done against the Gamecocks? Any leftover gripes from the trip to the Plains (and the weird postgame press conference that followed)? Can the Cats take care of business against the Commodores this weekend to really start building that resume down the home stretch? What kind of noise can this team make in the Big Dance?
