Coach Kenny Brooks is about to take the UK women's program to heights we've never seen before

[TopCatCal]

Sooner or later Brooks will get us to multiple Final Fours. In the last week he beat #18 Louisville, our 1st win over them in years. He's got commitments from 2, 5-Star recruits 6'3" Kaelyn Carroll a 2025 recruit & point guard Maddyn Greenway from the 2026 class. Brooks over Kara Elzy is the biggest coaching upgrade sports at UK has ever seen. We're pretty hard on Mitch Barnhart at times, but hiring Kenny Brooks was a Homerun hire.

I agree he will do well here. I'll believe UK women make a final four when I see it though.

And the womens game product is so awful to watch its hard to watch and see it.

Yeah our basketball programs right now are headed in fantastic directions with the Pope and Brooks hires. Exciting times for UK hoops

Again, if we can just get Sumrall for football, we'd have the 3 major sports on a serious uptick for the next decade. Do it Mitch you coward. Time to run Stoops. Just look at the basketball programs for the example as to why.

The game definitely showed why you need height in women's basketball

I guess the 6000+ last night enjoyed watching it! It’s definitely better than watching Cals coaching last 5 years 😂😂

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

I think he can.

Better work in handling the press. Too many turnovers
Last night. Love getting some height on the team finally though.

Watching paint dry was better than the last 4 seasons of cals tenure.

My standards are way higher than that.

The bigs Need to stay on the block or wings they were clogging up the perimeter with the girls that were guarding them hopefully they see this in the film room and correct it

Ladies not very athletic, miss the two players that are hurt. But Brooks definitely the right hire.

Be nice if your standards applied to the shitshow that is Kentucky football too you except shit over there but raise your standards over here damn I am confused

Because mens basketball has a history of high standards. It's not really difficult to see the apples and oranges Jeff. 8 national titles and 17 final fours.

Football has 1 questionable 1951 sagarin narional title awarded 40 years later and I think 2 sec titles with 0 n the last 47 years and counting. The sec is a juggernaut and UK is 15th of 16 teams n NIL mercenary salary spending. You can fantasize all you want and pony up and spend money all you want on NIL. Won't matter IMO.

We are allowed to agree to disagree on here.
