New Kentucky head coach Will Stein will, in just a few weeks, lead the Kentucky Wildcats onto the field for his first game as head coach of the Wildcats. Meanwhile, the man who led the Wildcats program for the previous 13 seasons will begin the season coaching in a new location. Mark Stoops was hired […]
Kentucky Basketball making push for 5-star center Paul Osaruyi
As the school year begins, many high school recruits in the class of 2027 are starting to narrow down the schools they are most interested in. Over the coming months, many of those prospects will begin announcing their finalists and scheduling official visits. One player drawing significant attention is 5-star center Paul Osaruyi, and Kentucky […]
Former UConn assistant Luke Murray one-ups his former boss
Danny Hurley is a brilliant mind, and that’s why a lot of fans were hoping he would come to Kentucky. But a lot of people pushed back, simply because there are moments when Hurley definitely goes overboard. I still haven’t figured out why he decided to go forehead to forehead with Roger Ayers after Braylon […]
Kentucky Wildcats News: Sam Greene Injury Watch
Kentucky received encouraging news on the injury front as edge rusher Sam Greene continues progressing toward a return from the ACL injury that ended his 2025 season. The former USC outside linebacker became a starter for Kentucky Football in year one and really turned it up when he did. Head coach Will Stein indicated Greene […]
Jay Bateman loves a good blitz, but it comes with a warning
BBN, if Will Stein’s presser got your blood pumping, Jay Bateman’s had you ready to strap on a helmet yourself. Taking the reins of a Kentucky defense that was always in the top 30 in most categories, Bateman is flipping the bend-but-don’t-break mentality we’ve come to expect. This defense is looking to hunt. Bateman brings […]
Kentucky is keeping an eye on Donovan Dent, per report
No, this is not the resurfacing of an article from last offseason; this is a completely new update. Kentucky fans know the name Donovan Dent very well. Last offseason, as the Mark Pope era transitioned from year one to year two, there was a stretch when Big Blue Nation thought Dent would end up being […]
Joe Sloan speaks on pace, Kenny Minchey, and more
When offensive coordinator Joe Sloan took the mic at Kentucky Football Media Day Monday, it became incredibly clear that this offensive staff is operating in lockstep. The synergy between Will Stein and Sloan is already paying dividends in practice, and they are building a unit designed to keep SEC defenses entirely off balance. Here are […]
Josie Gilvin becomes first WBB player to transfer after rule changes
Former Kentucky women’s basketball player Josie Gilvin has made some history. She became the first player in the class of 2022 to commit to a school since the Colorado injunction made it possible. Gilvin is headed back to a place she is really familiar with. Before playing her long season in Lexington, where she was […]
Kentucky holds Zoom call with Auburn transfer Keyshawn Hall
On Friday afternoon, a preliminary injunction granted by a Colorado U.S. District Court judge gave athletes from the 2022 high school class a fifth season of eligibility, creating another transfer portal opportunity window in August. This is something that the Kentucky Basketball staff has been monitoring as an avenue to add the 15th and final player to […]
Who in the transfer portal would be the best addition for Kentucky Basketball?
Greetings, BBN! Kentucky Basketball has one available roster spot entering the 2026-27 season, and there’s now a wave of newly available transfers thanks to a recent court ruling, which grants all class of 2022 players a fifth season. Among them are Auburn forward Keyshawn Hall, NC State forward Darrion Williams, Missouri forward Mark Mitchell, and Minnesota […]
Will Stein on injuries, trusting the “process,” and fall camp
The time has come once again. Football has arrived in the Bluegrass. Head Coach Will Stein took the podium on Monday to kick off 2026 fall camp, sporting a fresh haircut (and joking about his newfound resemblance to AD J Batt, which he actually really does). But beneath the lighthearted opening was a message that […]
Kentucky Wildcats News: August Transfer Portal Madness
Good morning, BBN! As football season quickly approaches, this offseason for college football and basketball has just gotten a whole new wild twist. After a ruling by a judge in Colorado that says players who are eligible for the 5-for-5 rule the NCAA has adopted are suddenly eligible, a plethora of options across all sports […]
Asia Boone is ready to pilot the Wildcats to new heights
Asia Boone knows what it feels like to kill the engine mid-flight; she knows what it’s like to splash a contested 3 in a hard-fought SEC game. With over 40 flight hours logged and simulated emergency landings already under her belt, the San Diego native has a different definition of pressure than most people her […]
Kentucky Football is battling injuries to key players heading into fall camp
We are now only 33 days out from the kickoff of the Will Stein era, and there is a ton of excitement around the Kentucky Football program, not only by Big Blue Nation but others as well. With the excitement, some reality has set in with the injury bug looming in Lexington. Most of the […]
Former All-Big 12 and All-ACC standout Darrion Williams is a name to watch for Kentucky
The transfer portal is back in style, and Kentucky Basketball is open for business. According to Ben Roberts of the Lexington Herald-Leader, NC State forward Darrion Williams is a name to monitor for Kentucky. Kentucky has not officially reached out to Williams, who’s also previously played at Texas Tech, but he is someone the school would reportedly […]
All-SEC transfer Mark Mitchell drawing interest from Kentucky Basketball
It may be August, but thanks to a recent court ruling, there are now some big-name transfers available for Kentucky Basketball. One of the SEC’s best players from the past two years is among them. According to Ben Roberts of the Lexington Herald-Leader, Kentucky is showing interest in Missouri Tigers forward Mark Mitchell, who is arguably […]
Will Stein is open to adding newly eligible 5th-year players
Kentucky Football could benefit from a recent court ruling that may grant an additional year of eligibility to some athletes from the high school class of 2022. After the NCAA adopted the “5-for-5” rule, allowing student-athletes five years to compete over a five-year period, many players from the class of 2022 have sought another season of […]
Kentucky Wildcats News: UK Football Media Day and La Familia Season Ends
We are less than five weeks from Kentucky Football’s season opener against Youngstown State. The Wildcats are beginning a new chapter for their program, changing leadership from Mark Stoops to Will Stein last December. While the schedule is beyond tough and it will undoubtedly take some time for an entire culture to be rebuilt, there is […]
Kentucky Basketball shows interest in Daniel Rouzan
Mark Pope left a roster spot open, and it looks like it might just be a genius move. With the NCAA getting sued and losing yet again, the class of 2022 is now looking more likely than not to head back to college. When will the madness really end? Nowhere in sight, and that means […]
Kam Williams believes Kentucky can reach the goal of 30 3s per game this season
When Mark Pope arrived at Kentucky, he wanted his teams to attempt at least 30 3-pointers per game, but that has not happened through his first two seasons. During the 2024-25 season, Kentucky averaged 25.3 3-point attempts per game, which ranked No. 78 nationally. This past season, the Wildcats averaged just 23.9 3-point attempts per […]
Keyshawn Hall drawing interest from Kentucky Basketball
In the midst of the chaos in this August transfer portal for college basketball, Kentucky Basketball has been linked to a name they faced off against last season: Keyshawn Hall. Hall last played for the Auburn Tigers, which was his fourth college in four years. He had stops at UNLV, George Mason, and UCF before […]
La Familia falls at home to Davis Steel in TBT Championship
It’s always tough to play your worst game in the most crucial game. That, though, is what happened to La Familia Sunday in the TBT Winner-Take-All Championship for $2 million, struggling to generate offense all afternoon in a 67-59 loss at Historic Memorial Coliseum. La Familia slogged their way through the first three quarters and […]
Kentucky Wildcats News: La Familia vs. Davis Steel TBT Championship Gameday
It’s The Basketball Tournament Championship game day! La Familia takes on Davis Steel today at Historic Memorial Coliseum in Lexington with $2 million on the line for the winner.

Kam Williams believes Braydon Hawthorne will make a big impact for Kentucky
In an interview with local media this week, Kam Williams was asked about Braydon Hawthorne, and his response is exactly what Kentucky Basketball fans have been craving to hear. Hawthorne was a 4-star prospect and spent his freshman year redshirting at Kentucky, which may not matter anyway now with the five-for-five. After not playing at […]
Kentucky Basketball showing interest in Michigan State standout Jaxon Kohler
Michigan State forward Jaxon Kohler could become a name to follow after the recent court ruling granting an additional year of eligibility to eligible Class of 2022 athletes.
