Kentucky is double-dipping in College Station. Before the Wildcats play at Texas A&M, they're recruiting in the Lone Star State.

It really sucks that the Cubs top 3 hitters by salary are all automatic outs.
Ian Happ - sucks
Dansby Swanson - sucks
Alex Bregman - improvement but still sucks
Part of the (on the floor) reason things soured for Cal at UK was the defense. There were plenty of times where they went in ruts on offense but typically would find their way. The defense has been the issue.
Just one top-30 adjusted efficiency defense since 2020.
Seth Mcgowan is an intriguing late round dart in rookie drafts:
+ Legit freshman year contributor at P4 school (570 total yards in 8 games)
+ Legal issues derailed his next few years before landing at NMSU (and outproducing classmate Mike Washington Jr.)
+ Career 1.56 yards/rte run and 9% receiving yard market share are both 2nd best in class
+ Showed efficiency as a rusher too, with a career 0.27 MTF/Att and 6.4 YPC as a freshman at Oklahoma
+ Elite athletic testing with a 109.7 speed score (91st percentile) and 99th percentile burst score
+ Comes out as RB5 in my rookie model for this year as of now (speaks to class strength, but still interesting given his expected draft capital)
Kentucky shares keys to a win over 'physical' Iowa State team that is 'good at every position' — with or without Joshua Jefferson

Serious Question:
If Rick Pitino never left Kentucky in 1997 for the Boston Celtics, how many national titles would he have if he stayed in Lexington?
Five? Six? More?
One of the best to ever do it.
Mark Pope has coached three years in a major conference. He’s 30-24 in league play. Three consecutive 10-8 seasons.
Next year is a massive one for him. Gotta prove he can be more than middle of the pack.
To those who have bombarded me with texts overnight, yes, you’re 100 percent correct. My buddy @buzzbaker got screwed by JMI. No other way to explain his departure. There’s such a mess on UK campus now days, especially in athletics. JMI’s name keeps popping up. Not good. - JMHO
EKU LHP Addison Stockham (24.75 ERA, 4 IP, 4 K, 8 BB/HBP) gets the start. UK has had some issues vs. LHP.
RHP Chase Alderman (7.04 ERA, 7.2 IP, 8 K, 4 BB/HBP) will make his 3rd start of the year against his former team.
