Will Stein and the Kentucky Wildcats have momentum on the recruiting trail as they look to make some noise on the trail for the 2027 class.

We hear it all the time in sports, whether as a fan, media member, or in our time playing them: Execute the fundamentals. Do the ordinary things really well, and the rest will take care of itself. Mark Pope had an interesting way to say that to Otega Oweh earlier this season, when it looked […]

We are living in the “Wild West” era of college athletics. NIL is ruining the sport, according to a lot of people. […]
Remember when Mark Pope, after the Kentucky-Louisville game, maybe said too much about something that happened before the game? It turned out that their pregame routine was just different from what it normally is for the Wildcats (or so Pope says). That said, there has been a recent change in practice for the Wildcats.
