just because I'd rather laugh than cry or scream.

As Cal has said many times, when another team blitzes you with 3’s most likely you lose. Plus When are currently 1 for 9 with no leadership at all from Wagner or from any one else for that matter.

We dropped from 22 to 24. Miami rose to 40 from 53. Maybe it'll help down the road.

CB Marquise Robinson committed to Arkansas
CB Donovan Sanders committed to Texas A&M

BJ Mayes, UAB corner, has been linked to Arkansas, Texas A&M, Kentucky and others

Would imagine that Kentucky's chances at Mayes have ticked up a tad with those two guys going elsewhere. Of course UK still needs to get Mayes on campus.

** One of the team sites covering UNC listed Brad White as a DC candidate for the Tar Heels. I would be shocked if anything came of that. Mack is running out of juice there and White is making a whole lot of money at Kentucky. Can't imagine that would be a move he would make if he turned down LSU.

** Here's a preview for OT Xavier Bausley's official visit which begins tomorrow: https://kentucky.rivals.com/news/official-visit-preview-ol-xavier-bausley

I watched Bausley's game against South Carolina. PFF scored it a 70, one of his better games of the season. Someone who down blocks very hard, fires off the ball, can get to linebackers. Still a work in progress in some pass protections but I think he would be a good add especially so you don't have to worry about finding someone later. The question with him is can he beat out Ford, Wood, etc., right away? At tackle the goal is to make yourself better right away. At guard, they obviously decided for the development option because they are returning everyone.

** I know it has been posted elsewhere now but can mention that UAB WR Fred Farrier, from KY, is supposed to be visiting. Was going to mention that when he got to campus but it's out. Think they want to spend some time around him and see how he fits but that's a guy that I feel like they have a good chance of adding. If they do, would have a chance to be a real rotation guy for them. They really had 3 guys they were really comfortable playing this season with Brown-Stephens getting his feet wet as a fourth. Next year they should comfortably go 4-6 deep which will be a big change. Less tight ends, less passing to the RBs you would imagine, so will probably be leaning on the WRs more in the throw game.

** Liberty WR CJ Daniels is a player I am following. Believe there could be some mutual interest there. Might be difficult to add someone who was a 1,000 yard receiver when UK's top three seems pretty clear cut but that's a guy I'm keeping an eye/ear out for.

** Never talked up the RB Peny Boone stuff. I know UK kicked the tires there at one point but don't know how serious it gone. Louisville and others have been linked to him, haven't seen an update on where he is going to go. But I do think another RB is very possible for Kentucky next year. Right now a lot is riding on Chip Trayanum with Demie Sumo-Karngbaye seemingly more of an option in the passing game.

Same thing

Anyone perhaps connected to anyone on the staff? I own an AI company and we utilize our AI to warm up motivated sellers. Imagine if you have all the data of Marrow and how he engages with these recruits. Imagine if the AI made recommendations on when and how to reach out based on the data across the whole staff? What if before they sent a text it showed you the version that Marrow would likely do. Just wondering if anyone is familiar with it being used this way in recruiting? And honestly would be smart to use it to re-recruit/stay connected with players on your own team.

Miss St playing some really good defense and getting after every loose ball. Haven't watched them. Up 11-6. I'll take them for the upset right now. SC might come back but if State can keep up this intensity on the boards and D, I think they'll be a tough out for anybody.

I am kind of surprised there isn't a thread on here about him yet. I haven't had a chance to listen to it all yet but Katt Williams definitely woke up and chose violence yesterday. He dropped multiple bombs on Shannon Sharpe's podcast. Has anyone listened to it yet and what did you think?

The Governor's proposed budget has been filed (HB 114) as part of the 2024 legislative session and has a few athletics related construction projects included. I have pasted below most of what I see there ... I may have missed one in there. (https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/recorddocuments/bill/24RS/hb114/orig_bill.pdf)

Granted, the actual final budget will be what the House proposes and the Senate agrees with ... but this gives us an idea of what all UK has proposed. Most of this is on pages 134-158 at the link.

If so, I must have missed it. I want some damn answers as to why he decided to let Clemson methodically complete 10 to 15 yard passes down the field to win the game.

If Reed keeps up playing like this he's going to have to be considered for 1st team All-American.

Harden, Irving, Ja(who’s not even eligible), Klay and Austin freaking Reaves over Devin Booker is insane. What are we doing here?

SIAP but thought it was an interesting article. Right here

Likens him to a cougar or panther, leaving most thinking about his next move.

“I think he is the most unlikely NBA superstar we’ve had in 15 years. I don’t know anything about the dude. He doesn’t do interviews. He’s not a big social media guy. He’s just atypical with all these other dudes you have so much knowledge about every piece about them. He’s just like this mystery dude that just comes in and takes on all the other guys.”

Was on the phone with one of the heads of the 15 club collective and a few key takeaways..

1. Not where we need to be at all on the end of the per month subscriptions ($25, $50, etc.)
2. Big donors they are seeing success with
3. Exciting things are coming in terms of perks of being a member in terms of physical items
4. They matched the 50k donation goal the other day totaling 100k
5. Transparency is about to get much better

*if you have anything specific you would like me to pass along I would be glad to do so*

Everybody else playing for second place.

Anyone have any experience?

One of the top players in 2025. There’s been some talk about a potential reclass, but he tells me he’s leaning towards staying in the 2025 class right now because he feels he needs the extra development and wants to be ready when he gets on a college campus. I think this is the correct call.

Brandon Miller type of game and upside. Kentucky will be heavily in the mix until the end.

I posted this deep in another thread.
I’m excited to see what Sumrall does at Tulane. He’s a winner and should crush it there. This shows he can get highly ranked recruits. I’ll be anxious to watch them play next fall.

Karter Knox, the nation’s No. 13 overall prospect and No. 5 small forward, will make the trip the weekend of January 19-21 when the Wildcats take on Georgia at home on Jan. 20.
