by Kent Sterling The anti-Kentucky faction that enjoyed watching John Calipari’s Wildcats take a first round NIT beatdown at Robert Morris last March might need to savor that moment for awhile. All five starters and two bench players are projected in the first round of next year’s draft by ESPN expert Chad Ford. Here are […]
by Kent Sterling Kentucky has hired the NCAA managing director of enforcement for development and investigations, and what I smell isn’t the fragrance of Bluegrass, it’s what horses drop on it after they eat that Bluegrass. This isn’t the first school to hire someone who worked in the NCAA’s compliance office. After the fallout of the […]
by Kent Sterling Today on 1070 the Fan in Indianapolis, Dan Dakich talked about how Biogenesis head Tony Bosch is a “Bag”. and of course he’s right.

Not everyone deciding to leave college for […]
by Kent Sterling Sometimes the best way to learn what’s right is to get it wrong. I wrote yesterday about the disgrace of the 1988 incident where Kentucky assistant coach Dwane Casey was accused of sending an Emery envelope with 20 – $50 bills to Claud Mills, the father of recruit Chris Mills. I assumed […]
by Kent Sterling John Calipari is not a guy I have a lot of good things to say about, but when he called a Kentucky player a “selfish motherfucker”, I didn’t care. This doesn’t make Calipari a bad guy, any more than his language made Bob Knight a bad guy. The moral outrage being expressed […]

Adolph Rupp led Kentucky to a then record 876 wins despite only six of those seasons being comprised of more than 30 total games.
