It's not even remotely close to being old enough to legally you a bottle of … [Read more...] about #5 Kentucky Basketball: Champions Classic Preview vs #4 Kansas Jayhawks

What Hamidou Diallo Brings to the Kentucky Wildcats Table Next Season
With only minutes to spare before the NBA Draft entry deadline, Hamidou Diallo informed the Kentucky Wildcats of his intention to return to school. It was metaphorically an 11th hour decision.

Kentucky Basketball: How Next Year’s Rotation Looks with Hamidou Diallo Returning
Freshman guard Hamidou Diallo only practiced for the Kentucky basketball team last year; he never saw action in any games.

Ohio State Football: the Kentucky Wildcats of the NFL Draft
Ohio State football has become the Kentucky Wildcats of the gridiron- a class of 5-star prospects enter the program every year while another class of blue chips leaves school early for the professional ranks.
