Chaz Lanier is in between UT and UK more than likely unless BYU makes a very unexpected push. Right now there is really neither school that is a front runner and is pretty neck and neck but per Trilly before the UT visit today Uk was barely in the lead.
I spoke to five star Deron Rippey Jr. & Sr. yesterday. Rippey spoke with Coach Jason Hart (Kentucky assistant coach) 4 days ago. Junior states, “I’m looking for a school that plays guards well and has a winning culture.” Rippey Sr. states “blue-bloods contacting him is a dream
USA men’s basketball is your 2024 Olympic champions! Steph Curry led the way with 24 PTS and going 8/12 from three. Curry hit a dagger to seal the deal! This is USA’s 5th straight gold!

I don’t think Kobe Brea is getting talked about enough. He shot basically 50% from three. He also has a ton of upside. I think if Kentucky doesn’t end up getting Chaz Lanier or J Rob (which I think we will) I think he will be our best player.
Can’t believe someone tried to assassinate Trump. Unbelievable what this world has come to absolutely ridiculous. But Trump is a tough dude he’ll get through it! Prayers to trump. 🙏
Now that Malachi Moreno committed like we all excepted, what’s next for the Cats?
1. Will we keep the other Kentucky native Jasper Johnson home?
2. Will we through a bag at No. 3 player in the 2025 class Darryn Peterson?
3. Will the Cats try to end the 2025 recruiting early and
According to sources, Kentucky is getting more traction as the days go on! Right now it’s set at 45%(Kentucky), 35% (Alabama), and 20% (North Carolina). But my prediction is Jasper Johnson will commit to Kentucky. After Pope’s late start he will get it done. So far my predictions
Five star ⭐️ Malachi Moreno is announcing his recruitment tomorrow‼️ Kentucky recruited him very early and well. The two main contenders are UK and Indiana according to
@TiptonEdits
. Kentucky fans shouldn’t be nervous because according to sources it’s about 70-30.

I personally think Chaz Lanier is going to be the wildcats Best player next year (IF we land him). He has a ton of upside and is a versatile scorer who can get a bucket whenever you need him too. This is a HUGE guard that would be a great fit in Pope’s system.

Five star Nate Ament is set to take an official visit to Kentucky on August 28th. The 6’9 SF could be a top-ten pick in the 2026 draft. Ament is a great shooter and finisher and any team would be lucky to have him. Hopefully he is a cat!
@NateAment15
Now a 80% chance for Kentucky to land No. 10 (according to 247) recruit Jasper Johnson per sources. Alabama, a distant 2nd at 15% and North Carolina not far behind at 5%. These drastic changes has happened in just a week. The main reason why there has been so much change is UK up
Another big day
#bbn
1. Will Chaz Lanier commit before leaving?
2. Who will Kentucky use there last couple of scholarships on?
3. How much NIL is Kentucky offering Chaz Lanier?
4. Is Jaxon Robinson back in the table for the cats (now that Kansas has almost filled there roster)?
It looks like I was correct. Travis Perry will still be great at the collegiate level. Absolute sharp-shooter and led Lyon County to a Kentucky State title. He played near me a lot so I got to see him play and it’s something you have never seen before.
#bbn
be ready for this kid.
Malachi Moreno, who is one of the top 2025 recruits, is planning to make his final recruitment decision on Friday. This is one of Kentucky’s main targets so this is huge for the cats. But where do y’all think he’ll end up?

Jasper Johnson Looks to be in his top 5 with Kentucky, Arkansas, North Carolina, Alabama, and Baylor. He’s from Kentucky so the cats have a great chance to land him! 🐱🐱🐱

It seems that Jasper Johnson is mainly between Alabama and NC. Kentucky is a distant third according to recruiting experts. From my understanding, unless Kentucky makes a miraculous push, it looks like Kentucky is out on JJ. Mark Pope needs to pick it up with recruits!
#bbn
Nate Ament put on a show at Elite 24. His 6’9 shifty frame allows him to create space and get buckets. Ament can shoot very well too. He has an official visit to Kentucky on August 28th. This would be huge for the cats.

La Familia wins!!!! I guess some things will never change cats win. Willie Cauley-Stein leads the way with 20 points and 8/9 from the field. L’S down

Who I want in the 2025 class:
No. 1 player AJ Dybansta
No. 3 player Darryn Peterson
No. 4 player Darrius Acuff Jr.
No. 12. player Jasper Johnson
No. 25 player Malachi Moreno
these are some names who I wouldn’t be surprised we get. Expect 3-4 of these.

Boom!!! Big day for the cats
1. Ansley Almonor just committed
2. We wait on Chaz Lanier’s decision
3. Will we wait to use our last recruit if Jaxon Robinson with Kansas buzz is real?
Stay tuned

I’m very happy to announce that I Miller Doughty will be creating my own Kentucky website. It’s called Kentucky Sports Spot and it’s still in the works but will be out within a month. Stay tuned!

I’m so excited for this Kentucky basketball team but I’m really exited for
@kobybrea
the kid is legit. Shot 49.8% from three and is lights out. But the off the court stuff is why he’s my favorite. He interacts with fans and just shows love to bbn.
#bbn
be ready for this kid!

Glad the school of Kentucky has success and I get to see one of the only really good Kentucky baseball teams in my early lifetime. Glad to see the university I’ve loved my whole life is having success in all sports!
#bbn
This is the most confusing thing ever.
Kentucky is in the lead for Chaz
Then it’s even
Then it’s UT
Then Kentucky is out of the mix.
Then Kentucky is back in mix.
Now it’s about even
And in my opinion with the AB thing, we may have the lead!

My top 3 biggest draft snubs
1 Justin Edwards-SF. Had a nice season despite not much playing time.
2 PJ Hall-PF. After leading Clemson to a late appearance in MM he doesn’t get picked.
3 DJ Burns Jr.-PF. After carrying NC State to the final four X, Burns didn’t get picked.
#NBA
Chaz Lanier, the No. 11 overall ranked transfer, will reportedly visit Lexington to meet with Kentucky on Monday.
DO NOT let him slip away to UT!!!
#hopeforpope
#bbn
Will be a great young look for any team that picks him up. Great player and spacer but good luck Jeremiah wherever you go but I’ll hope you make the right decision… 🐱🐱🐱
Elite PG Jeremiah Fears, a top-35 recruit, announced last week he'd be decommitting from Illinois.
Where do things now stand in his recruitment and will he reclassify? Read (On3+):
Kentucky baseball makes history by winning there first game in the CWS 5-4. The Cats went into the bottom of the 9th down 1 and Ryan Nicholson hit a home run. The cats ended up finishing the game with a walk off, Daly hits the walk off bomb to send the cats to victory!

It really depends if Chaz Lanier is in for the money or not. I don’t think Tennessee will match us, I think they may be close but match UK probably not. But if he wants to stay home who could blame the kid. But BYU is a long shot 😂
Honestly J Rob is better/more proven than Chaz Lanier. If we get J Rob I’m honestly going to be happier than if we got Chaz and not Jaxon. But tbh don’t sleep on Wooga Poplar. 👀👀
#bbn
Good morning bbn… If anyone has watched the footage of Kentucky’s fist couple of practices you should know we are looking good! I mean the teammates look like they have known each other since they were all freshman and it’s great so we will have chemistry from the start.
#bbn
Jasper Johnson commits to Kentucky! My predictions are now 2/2. Jasper committed to Kentucky over Alabama, North Carolina, Louisville, and Arkansas.

*Not a Uconn fan*
I think Dan Hurley is not in it for the money… I mean he’s set, he’s gonna do what him and his wife thinks is the best for them. My guess is he stays.
Big day
#bbn
1. How close is Chaz Lanier making a decision with the money Kentucky is putting on the table?
2. Who will Kentucky use there last scholarship on?
Stay tuned

Former 2024 Vanderbilt commit Jamie Vinson completed his visit to South Carolina.
Source tells
@On3sports
the 6-11 PF will be visiting Rutgers on Saturday and Sunday; then Kentucky on Monday and Tuesday.
Ansley Almoner is going to be the replacement we need to cover the “more than likely” Jaxon Robinson going to the draft or going to Kansas. Great pick up for the cats and let’s stayed tuned for more booms.

@CoachMarkPope
I would count Kobe Brea as a stud most definitely. One of if not the best shooter in college basketball. Literally Jack on steroids!
5⭐️ Darryn Peterson, the No. 3 overall recruit in the 2025 class, is planning to visit Kentucky, Louisville, USC, and Washington during August and September, his father tells

Good morning BBN! I just want to know who do y’all think the last recruit will be or transfer? Who I want Will Riley. Who I think we will get Will Riley. I to ink it’ll be a shocker and will be welcomed to

with lots of love. Any other predictions just comment.
