Here are @GoodmanHoops’ OFFSEASON WINNERS & LOSERS 👀 Which team do YOU think had the BEST spring? WATCH ⬇️ youtu.be/e3ONoZxAHWs

@Jason If they could get the consent of the actors and do an AI generated or augmented likeness for original cast members that would be sweet. The Irishman did that. Unfortunately Carrier Fisher isn’t around to provide the performance for her part.

I’ve been saying this for a decade It’s the only solution

We Are Truly Blessed To Have Zoom Diallo & Alex Wilkins as our starting backcourt 💯 #BBN

It is bold, if not outright reckless, for the University of Kentucky administration to continue steamrolling through permanent, life-altering shifts while the Governor is publicly questioning their fitness to lead. Rather than exercising the professional restraint expected of an embattled leadership, they have opted for a high-stakes game of chicken, acting as though their authority is absolute even as the ground shifts beneath them. By doubling down on these controversial moves, the administration isn't just ignoring the Governor's warnings, they are practically daring him to follow through on his threat of removal. @GovAndyBeshear

Duke and UConn are the only programs in college basketball that are still operating at a "Blue Blood" level. bit.ly/4lmjETP (Apple) bit.ly/443aDt9 (Spotify) bit.ly/4cPch6c (YouTube)

Kentucky reportedly spent $22 million on its roster last season, almost double other top programs. Now, Sean Miller estimates that 20-25 CBB programs have spent $20+ million on their rosters this offseason. 😳 on3.com/teams/kentucky…

I had one high-major head coach tell me earlier today: “The cap is irrelevant to us. With the way we are operating, there’s no cap at all.”

Since we have a whole few weeks left before the Board meeting—and I’d hate for us to accidentally trip over any 'half-measures' or nuanced compromises—I’ve identified the exact spot where the faculty voice was conveniently edited out. To simplify things for everyone involved in this centralization of power, we can skip the creative writing exercise. Just strike the paragraphs that handed the President total control and add a single line to revert to the previous version. It’s an incredibly simple fix, and quite the quick decision making at that.

I was told today, by someone heavily involved in the NIL space, that the most expensive roster in college hoops right now is pushing $30mil. And I think there’s a chance that gets topped before this cycle is over.

@DACats86 I hate that guy.

For 24 years this smug bastard systematically destroyed UK athletics while most of y'all cheered him on... SMH...

@KySportsRadio I think you need to re-evaluate what you said on today’s show about “Kentucky has spent money on this roster…”. You need to re-calibrate. 20 million is the entry to the top 25. Just the way it is.

@kwiltj Man I appreciate you. We need you back in the house in Lexington!

IF he works and puts in that work, he’s going to be great.

I'm hearing roughly $37 million. Spread the word.

The next UKy Board of Trustees meeting is June 29 and 30th. Mark your calendars as this will be the meeting the BoT should be bringing back Faculty Senate restoration. @GovAndyBeshear might want to remind those Trustees they represent the people of Kentucky and are responsible for the fiscal recklessness and power grab by @UKYmonday .

@RuppToNoGood @MattSakR2NG What is going to make you feel positive about the situation?

It's listener question time! Leave 'em in the comments!

@MeManBoy0 Agent negotiations, understanding the market as a whole. Understanding what the overall budget should be to field a team worthy of our brand. Fundraising. Building a talent evaluation department. Understanding the profile of players that fit the system of the coach.

Hey UK fans.... what do you think a "GM" for an NCAA basketball program does? And what would a "GM" at UK do that Keegan isn't doing?

@KySportsRadio Well you have a small minded AD so there you go.

The more I read about this Duke deal with Amazon, the more I think it’s a huge deal. Duke isn’t only playing the games on Amazon, Amazon is also committing to doing NIL with Duke players And the games will air globally, which is huge. This is innovative thinking we have to have

@raxraxrax00 💯

You guys realize mark pope HAD to accept the job at Kentucky, right?? This is STILL Barnharts fault.

@DylanBallard_UK What a dork.

Mark Pope has proven he can win big games over the last couple seasons, not many coaches have more ranked wins. But the gap has been landing top-end talent, and it’s shown up in some tough losses. I really hope he puts it all together. Now where do the Cats pivot?

@TristanUda I will not believe anything else the man says.

Mark Pope’s words to fans on his end of season coach’s show about recruiting: “We’re excited about where we are. Just hang in there. I think recruiting is going to work out just great.” A month in, still time, but it’s difficult to believe things are going according to plan.
