Mark Mitchell is now eligible to play next season, and with his “do not contact” tag while in the transfer portal, a decision could come at any moment. 👀

Could Lexington be next? Come home, Mark Mitchell. 🏀

BREAKING: Mark Mitchell has received a temporary injunction, making him eligible for a fifth season, for the time being, and allowing Kentucky to officially contact him and his team.

HUGE for Kentucky.

🔥 15 DAYS UNTIL KICKOFF. 🏈

Throwing it back to No. 15, Stephen Johnson.

The @UKFootball QB played from 2016–17, finishing with 4,342 passing yards, 23 TDs and 12 INTs.

One of the most memorable QBs of the Stoops era. 👀

🔁 Repost for No. 15!

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

I do want Mark Mitchell more than Köhler anyway and if we get him, we have a real squad

But UK staff was on a Zoom with this kid for 2.5 hours yesterday. They clearly wanted him…just as we wanted Saunders (twice), Dybantsa, Chandler and Wright.

To act otherwise is denial

[Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops]

BREAKING: BYU has landed Michigan State transfer Jaxson Kohler, his agent Adam Godes told @thefieldof68.

Huge pickup for Kevin Young and the Cougars - as long as Kohler is eligible this season.

[Big Blue Saturday @BigBlueSaturday]

🎉 Happy Birthday to former Kentucky head @UKcoachbrooks! 🏈😼

Brooks led the Wildcats from 2003–09, guiding UK to four straight bowl appearances and three consecutive bowl wins.

He was inducted into the Kentucky Athletics Hall of Fame in 2016. 💙

Throwing it back to Kentucky’s 26-16 win over No. 12 Florida in The Swamp in 2022. 😼🔥

So grateful!! 🙏🙏

@KySportsRadio College football needs more color rush games, especially during rivalry weeks.

[Big Blue Saturday @BigBlueSaturday]

🚨 Kentucky is set to kick off the 2027 and 2028 seasons in “Week 0,” according to @KySportsRadio.😼

That means a late-August start and an additional bye week for the Wildcats. 👀

Kentucky has decided to play its first football games in 2027 and 2028 in “Week 0”….will have late August starts to the football season, one more bye week for the team and a game with potentially more eyeballs

[Jack Pilgrim @JackPilgrimKSR]

Kentucky completed a 2.5-hour Zoom meeting with MSU transfer Jaxon Kohler on Wednesday

“As good as it could’ve gone,” one source told KSR

[Locked On Kentucky @LockedOnUK]

Would be really nice if we got a ruling here within the next 24 hours, judge…

[Big Blue Saturday @BigBlueSaturday]

BLUE. 🔵 vs. 🔴 RED.

Give us a color rush game between Kentucky and Louisville on November 28 at Kroger Field.

College football needs this. 👀🔥
