Summary

One week of summer workouts down, seven more to go for the Kentucky Wildcats. The Joe Craft Center is the home of one of the deepest rosters in college basketball competing at the highest level ahead of the 2025-26 season, and now, intel is starting to roll in highlighting some of the early standouts. Who looks the part? Sources Say breaks it down while also rolling through USA Basketball leftovers from Colorado Springs, Tay Kinney’s official visit to Lexington, the practice gym redesign with denim and understanding the assignment, players donating $40K to tornado relief efforts, the SEC schedule release for the Cats, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Cason Wallace winning the NBA Finals and previewing this week’s NBA Draft. Essentially, every major piece of news over the last week is covered in detail this week on Sources Say — and we have a great time doing it.
