All things political are discussed on this thread.

Keep it civil, please.

A new era

Going to list guys who have either announced they’re going into the portal or who have already entered that could be a UK level recruit or UK has reached out to. Will pin to the top and leave open for discussion in the thread. I’ll update as new names enter and leave it at a top 10 max probably, so names will get bumped off.

Guards:
Jaland Lowe, Pitt


Wings:
Jaron Pierre, Jacksonville State
Lamar Wilkerson, Sam Houston State


Forwards:
Yaxel Lendeborg, UAB
Kam Williams, Tulane
Alvaro Folgueiras, Robert Morris
Elyjah Freeman, Lincoln Memorial
Taylor Bowen, FSU
Mackenzie Mgbako, IU

Bigs:
Reed Bailey, Davidson
Aday Mara, UCLA

NOTES:

3/24: Dedan Thomas has Zoom scheduled, looking to visit.

UK has reached out to Kam Williams, per his circle.

3/25: UK reaches out to Magoon Gwath “multiple times”

Mackenzie Mgbako hears from UK.

Hello HOB. Nick Mingione's Bat Cats will be holding their media day on Tuesday, so it's a good time for us to get the 2025 season thread started and pinned to the top of the board. Coming off a season when UK reached the first College World Series in program history, it will be interesting to see where Mingione & Co. go from here.

2025 MEDIA GUIDE LINK

Devin Burkes, Senior, Catcher

• Ranks 3rd in career strikeouts per innings at Kentucky (12.46/9)

I thought it was time to start a new thread since that one had been going on for almost a year now.

Get back in here, idiots. Idk why they let us out of our cage. That's messed up. Let's just keep it all together for The Cats and get focused on our tournament run. Amen.

Ok, so let's continue our discussion outside the politics thread. Let's do our best to keep it within the rules this time. Me included.

Let's hear where everyone is with their workouts, diets, supplements, etc.


I'm currently diving into the mind numbing, boring AF, world of mobility training. Bleh.


Try to be encouraging only.... Lol at Wayne maxing out every workout.

Ownership has started dismantling the '21 team, and I'm OK with the Barnhart/Miley moves but sure would be nice if they could get something for them. They need to do whatever it takes to keep Nick C but looks like he's gone too. Saw on mlb.com list of 17 top FAs available and prediction where they'll sign...not a one with the Reds. 2022 not looking promising.

He's just so oblivious to what is going on. I just wish he would retire and we would get an athletic director in there that would have a set!

Page 3 (last listing). Fayette County schools superintendent and two others took a $24,000 trip to Australia “to invest best practices in social and emotional learning and equitable systems “. Our superintendent/school board sure knows how to spend some $$ (your tax money). I’m guessing not long before they say they need more tax money if we want better student results.

Probably the biggest question human beings have ever asked …

Well, Tiger is back this week for his tournament The Hero World Challenge. TaylorMade Driver, Nike Irons, Bridgestone golf ball, Scotty Putter apparently, new sponsor Monster Energy bag.


Hopeful for a decent week and by decent i mean no yips and playing 4 healthy rounds.




Tee Times Thursday in The Bahamas:

Thinking of buying a Tele or Tele-style guitar. I play blues, country rock and classic rock. I'm thinking right now either a HS or even HH configuration as I have a hard time with the single pole hum and the twang of the bridge SP. I'm not going to spend 1000s on a custom Fender. Have perused the Squier 70s vintage with the HS and they've received solid reviews. Have played on a 9.5" radius Tele and the neck felt great, which is one reason I'm leaning that way now. I know other guitar brands have their own version but have almost no knowledge of how they sound

1. Anyone play a P-90 Tele and, if so, pros and cons?
2. Non-Fender Tele style you'd recommend?
3. Is a Tele even the right guitar for what I play or should I look elsewhere?

Two SS amps (Peavey and Blackstar) with several pedals although I believe less is more.

All advice is welcome. Thanks.
