So… now what?

Kentucky got Mark Mitchell, then lost Mark Mitchell. Will there be a replacement, or should Mark Pope stick with the 14 players already in that locker room, ready to compete for the Wildcats this season? Sources Say is ready to dig in after mourning that late pivot from the All-SEC talent back to Mizzou.

Jack Pilgrim is joined by Shawn Smith and Spencer Smith to talk about a crazy stretch for the program, Pope’s response, what to like/dislike about the group we’ve got and circling back on No. 15.

We also touch on the schedule being finalized, with three exhibitions to complement a full regular-season slate, as we are now just ONE month away from Big Blue Madness.

It was a hectic week in North Augusta. Now the KSR crew gets to talk about it!

What was it like watching the Cayden Daughtry show in person? How did the other top Kentucky targets stack up at Peach Jam? Anything to keep in mind about the coaching staff’s evaluation decisions, in terms of where they set up shop during the live period and when? The Sources Say crew has some takes to share.

That, plus Kentucky’s win over La Familia last week before the latter’s run in The Basketball Tournament. What do you need to know about how things unfolded in the Joe Craft Center? And how concerned should we be about the Wildcat injuries that condensed the scrimmage?

Is Mark Pope on the cusp of reeling in his next big fish? Sources Say is ready to go LIVE to talk through the latest with Serbian star Nikola Kusturica and Kentucky‘s push to get it across the finish line.

How close are we to a commitment and what are the potential snags, if any? And, more importantly, what kind of impact can he make in Lexington if the Wildcats can pull this one off?

What a couple of weeks it has been for Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats, starting with Malachi Moreno’s return to Lexington and followed by the high-profile additions of Milan Momcilovic out of the portal and Ryan Hampton in the high school ranks. It was a one, two, three punch of top returning talent, transfer talent and future talent to address now and later with some of the third-year coach’s lingering recruiting questions. Can he bring in top guys? Well, now you know.

Sources Say was on vacation last week, joining Pope on the beach — but not accomplishing nearly as much, outside of drinking and eating a ton. We’re back and as okay as ever, though, ready to break down this massive stretch for the Wildcats and what’s to come with summer practice now just days away. Why is it so important for the entire 14-man roster to be on campus together, and, more specifically, healthy together? Is it the start of Dark Pope’s big turnaround, now with a beard to match the growing chip on his shoulder? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
