What a couple of weeks it has been for Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats, starting with Malachi Moreno’s return to Lexington and followed by the high-profile additions of Milan Momcilovic out of the portal and Ryan Hampton in the high school ranks. It was a one, two, three punch of top returning talent, transfer talent and future talent to address now and later with some of the third-year coach’s lingering recruiting questions. Can he bring in top guys? Well, now you know. Sources Say was on vacation last week, joining Pope on the beach — but not accomplishing nearly as much, outside of drinking and eating a ton. We’re back and as okay as ever, though, ready to break down this massive stretch for the Wildcats and what’s to come with summer practice now just days away. Why is it so important for the entire 14-man roster to be on campus together, and, more specifically, healthy together? Is it the start of Dark Pope’s big turnaround, now with a beard to match the growing chip on his shoulder? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Kentucky Derby rivals return to the racetrack for the Belmont Stakes and Kentucky Sports Radio has everything you need to know about the third leg of the Triple Crown. This is not your typical Belmont Stakes. Like the Preakness three weeks ago, this year’s Triple Crown race is away from its home track, firing off in upstate New York at Saratoga instead of on Long Island. It also makes the race shorter by a quarter of a mile. Instead of the 12-furlong marathon, for the third-straight year the Belmont will be the same distance as the Derby, the classic distance of 1 1/4 miles. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Kentucky baseball avoided the sweep over the weekend against Florida. This was a box that needed to be checked, but the Bat Cats blew a chance to take a big series win on Friday. That increases the stakes for a big week at Kentucky Proud Park. Nick Mingione‘s squad will end the season with four consecutive home games. There will be a Quad 4 opportunity on Tuesday night against Northern Kentucky before a huge three-game series with Arkansas from Thursday-Saturday. A 2-2 week probably secures an at-large bid.

The most crucial offseason of Mark Pope’s career has officially begun, Kentucky not only adding a point guard, but the point guard’s dad — former All-Star Mo Williams joining as an assistant and bringing his four-star son with him. Those are the biggest dominoes up to this point, along with Jaland Lowe’s decision to enter the transfer portal and two staff departures in Jason Hart and Alvin Brooks III. What do we think of the early moves of Pope and what do we expect to come next? Sources Say goes LIVE for an early afternoon edition of the show.
