Cats land another! Kentucky basketball roster & schedule updates | Sources Say

Last week it was nine, now it’s 11 for Mark Pope and Kentucky basketball. Trent Noah made the decision to flip from South Carolina to the Wildcats late last week, followed by the most recent addition of Fairleigh Dickinson transfer Ansley Almonor.
What do those signings mean for Kentucky? And what’s next for the Wildcats with two scholarship spots remaining? All eyes are on North Florida’s Chaz Lanier and BYU’s Jaxson Robinson, both exploring their draft options with UK seen as a top contender should they decide to pull out.
Is this roster competitive as currently constructed? And what needs to be added to take it to the next level in Pope’s first season in Lexington? Sources Say breaks it down tonight in episode 335. You can watch the show in its entirety below:

Arkansas fan, everything takes a back burner to your children if it doesn't there's a problem. I'm glad he's doing ok.

[@TommysHandle]

Prayers to you and your family and your son. That must have been so scary. 😢

[@RichardKelley-te1we]

Great that all is good with your family..God Bless..glad you back on track..Go Cats.🏀🏆

[@chrisfrost3000]

So glad to hear that your son is okay. There's nothing more heartbreaking than a health scare with your child. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!

[@davidkarcher6215]

I believe we have the stars already. It’s the team chemistry and egos in check that determines their success.

[@dubsack270BBN]

Sending big prayers up for you, Jack. Glad he's doing well. Keep taking care of that baby boy.

[@tiffincatfan79]

Good to hear all is good, Jack!

[@cbbargo]

Prayers to you Jack & Family. I'm glad things are going better. Good stuff today.

[@kingsimba1605]

So happy to hear your baby is okay, Jack. Will say a prayer for you guys tonight and tomorrow at Mass. \

[@oldudejones4367]

Hang in there Jack! Being a dad is a tough deal and you’re thriving! Praying for you and your family! 48 and expecting a baby girl in August!!!

[@steveharden]

Talking about In State Kids ; What about Taylen Kinney from Newport High School He's only a Sophomore but kid can play

[@mickcarter3613]

I believe KY is a lot better than people think I also think the media is over looking us an disrespect us because cal left but can wait 2 show everyone UK is a good team I think KY got some really good players

[@wsrush1985]

No apology needed. Family always comes first. Thanks for all you all do!

[@carterhall1687]

Prayers for your son!

[@davesizemore3367]

Everyone keeps saying " we need someone who can go and get their own shot". When I watched the highlight vids on the KSR website, I was throughly impressed by several of the current commits, especially Otega Oweh... that man can drive the basketball and get to the rim as well as shoot. I'm looking for big things from him this season!

[@erinmichaels8195]

Jack, so glad baby Billy is ok! I have three kids and there have been some scary moments . ..parenthood is not for the faint of heart!

[@juliescheving7951]

No apology necessary. Thankful your son is okay!

[@hdhxhebdh]

Welcome to BBN 💪😺💙🤍💙🏀🔥

[@terenceholmes7239]

Glad your son is OK.

[@Ray-hr9tb]

Is Walker Horn going to walk on again? No one has said anything of his status at Kentucky.

[@brianprather6743]

I like the possibility of adding 2 more Kentucky kids in 2025 to the team ….. Jasper Johnson and Kaden Magwood ⛹️‍♂️🏀I think Popes system will make the players Shine.

[@randyherald9946]

How about Malachi Moreno?

[@johnnystivers6788]

The pitch against Tennessee is yeah Dalton was really really good top 3 player in the country but dude was double teamed all year sometimes triple teamed and they don’t have as much shooting and with us and this system dudes aren’t leaving a Koby Brea open for 3 and you wasting have to deal with teams game planning is all around you

[@braddarnell2498]

Why is there no love for 6’11 Waterman that can shoot and knows the system already

[@wildcats2360]

Because we already have 2 pf’s and 2 5’s and carr is very similar to waterman

[@braddarnell2498]

I think we need either Robinson or Lanier and we need some size so I would prefer Robinson and Waterman

[@johnnystivers6788]

If you don’t get Jaxson or Chaz or anyone to that caliber you need Otega to step up and be all SEC to be a final 4 contender he’s the only player on the team I think can go up 2 levels in an offseason to next season with athleticism and size if he can shoot 39 percent from deep while taking 5-7 a game and averages 16-18 points a game it a whole new team. I think Butler and Brea can all get a little bit better but Otega has the highest ceiling

[@ericadams9299]

Wooga popular in my opinion is the guy we need at Kentucky .

[@dubsack270BBN]

He's not coming to Kentucky.

[@RailsandStadiums]

Wish they could get both Lanier and Robinson without leading to a bunch of fights over playing time. Didn't they say Pope likes to go 10-11 deep on the bench? 1. Lanier, Butler, Krisse 2. Brea, Chandler, Perry 3. Robinson, Oweh, Noah 4. Carr, Almanor 5. Williams, Garrison

[@hdhxhebdh]

All we need is jaxson...chaz..😊

[@timhanner23]

Top 15??? Didn’t we run cal off for those results???

[@jasonmartin7997]

No, the downfall with Cal was poor game planning and in game coaching. Leading to losses to teams like Oakland.

[@jaycehoward2771]

Dude has been on the job for a month and started from 0 psycho.

[@timhanner23]

@@jasonmartin7997 how could cal gameplan for Reed and dj shitting their pants against Oakland

[@ericadams9299]

Lets get popular let Tennessee have the other guy

[@timhanner23]

I get the excitement but how many power programs are made up of 3 and 4 year players???

[@bookertee3057]

Sign Vinson. Go Cats. Prayers for your family.

[@timhanner23]

Anyone else miss cal yet?

[@jasonmartin7997]

Cal has like 7 players on roster

[@jaycehoward2771]

God no.

[@btcpac-pr7bu]

sean woods mad he didnt get a job on the staff so hes gonna be bitter until hes employed again

[@ericadams9299]

Rather have popular on the team

[@denhunter1]

Wow! Another one to three star recruit! Will the richest never end? 😂

[@downwinder3]

Noooo...C'mon .... no one else wanted this guy. He was going to fucking Siena. Does this mean we are out of NIL budget? Save some spots for guys opting out of the draft.

[@jt1765]

See, there’s this thing called a bench…

[@mylesrountree3173]

You have 0 common knowledge about basketball apparently. So tell me, what top portal prospects besides chaz and Jaxson are going to want to come to a team where playing time is limited and there’s already people who have a good case to start in said respected position? News flash- No one. We’ve gotten all our big names besides the couple we’ve been in talk with for awhile, now it’s time to start filling in the gaps. We aren’t going to have the biggest best names on the team anymore, this isn’t the cal era anymore. If you seriously don’t want a guy who stayed at one school previously before this and averaged over 16 points a game then idk what basketball players you want. For the NIL part, maybe if you watched and actually listened to the podcast, or any source at all we are FINE on NIL. Kentucky fans alone have raised almost million dollars worth. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this new scene of college basketball.

[@jt1765]

@@mylesrountree3173 you’re giving that guy too much credit thinking he is going to read and comprehend all that after making such a bold, yet idiotic statement.

[@downwinder3]

@@jt1765 I would prefer to use the remaining spots on a starter. We don't have a solid starting 5 or top 7 rotation yet. This guy was choosing between Siena, Iona, Pepperdine and UK for god's sake. That is embarassing.

[@downwinder3]

@@mylesrountree3173 We now have only 2 scholarships available and still AT LEAST looking at Jaxson, Noah Waterman, Wooga, and Chaz Lanier...and I am sure a couple others. I would rather have left that 3rd spot open to potentially get one of those or even someone else bailing out of the draft.

[@btcpac-pr7bu]

uks downfall is gonna be not playing the freshman enough bookmark it

[@davidkarcher6215]

I believe Pope will start the seniors, but he’ll make adjustments over the season to make the best possible lineups. Even if that means starting freshman over a senior. They’ll have to earn their spot through hard work and dedication no doubt. The only thing about this team is how well they come together and put egos aside. If they can play together unselfishly then the sky is the limit.

[@marquess11]

Does this take make any sense? Travis Perry was coming to play under cal, wasn’t getting playing time. Trent Noah is an obvious development piece for Kentucky, can’t be expecting many minutes this year. Collin Chandler may or may not need a year to get back into high major basketball shape. I wouldn’t expect any of these freshman to get many minutes, especially once conference play starts. Expect to see them their sophomore years. Pope will have an easier time keeping players on his rosters than cal did.

[@btcpac-pr7bu]

@@marquess11 travis would have deff played under cal im talking abut chandler thats uks best player this year

[@ryanyoung-dn6sm]

Jack Pilgrim is so incredibly unlikeable. I’m a Kentucky fan, and just seeing the unnecessary pot shots he gives to other teams…it just makes us look bad as BBN. Do better Jack.
