Kentucky basketball recruiting has always been one of the hottest topics in college sports, but the buzz around the 2026 class is already reaching a fever pitch. At the center of the storm? Tyran Stokes, the Louisville native and unanimous No. 1 overall prospect in the nation. For months, Stokes has played things close to the vest, keeping interviews short and details about his recruitment even shorter. But behind the scenes, the tide might be shifting in a very big way — toward Kentucky and first-year head coach Mark Pope. Recruiting analyst Jamie Shaw of Rivals didn’t mince words on…

One lineup decision could define the Wildcats’ path to a championship in 2025. Mark Pope didn’t just return to Lexington last season—he brought a surge of excitement Big Blue Nation hadn’t felt in years. After leaving BYU to take over for John Calipari, Pope delivered a strong debut campaign: 24-12 overall, a run to the Sweet 16, and a sense that Kentucky basketball was back on the rise. But make no mistake—year two is different. Expectations aren’t just high; they’re sky-high. Fans want more than a Sweet 16. They want a deep March run, and they believe Pope can deliver.…
Kentucky basketball fans, buckle up. While the football team is battling on Saturdays, Mark Pope is going full throttle on the recruiting trail — and his latest move has Big Blue Nation buzzing.

This isn’t just another visit. This is a potential program-shifting recruitment. If Pope can pull this off, it sends a loud and clear message: Kentucky basketball isn’t just back — it’s coming for the…

The Stunning Comeback That Changes Everything When the offseason began, all signs pointed to certain players leaving for the NBA or hitting the transfer portal. Instead, in an era of constant roster turnover,…
The SEC Nation crew is packing its bags for Week 2—but not for the only SEC vs. SEC showdown on the schedule. On Sunday morning, it was announced that SEC Nation and Marty & McGee will broadcast live from Missouri on Sept. 6, ahead of the Tigers’ home matchup with Kansas. ESPN2 will air the “Border War,” while Kentucky’s clash with No. 21 Ole Miss—an actual conference game, broadcast nationally on ABC—gets passed over. That’s right: the SEC Network’s flagship traveling pregame show chose an unranked, non-conference rivalry over a ranked matchup inside the league. Why Missouri–Kansas? The Border War…
