Today, Jack Pilgrim, Zack Geoghegan, Steven Peake, and I are ready to tackle a wide range of topics, starting with Kentucky Basketball’s summer workouts, which begin next week; a WILD Game 4 in the NBA Finals; and the World Cup, which kicks off today — in fact, the first match (Mexico vs. South Africa) will be happening during the show.

Kentucky is up to five commitments in the last four days. Malachi Brown was the second-highest-ranked player in the class until Dominic Black popped an hour ago and committed to the Cats. The future of the trenches is looking bright, and that’s what 11 Personnel is here to discuss on this humid Wednesday afternoon, PLUS… — More official visits on the horizon — A few changes to the recruiting weekend — How the Wildcats are dealing with a tragedy — Brendan Sorsby is making a big fat mess Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.

We are firmly in the middle of the grind of the college football offseason. As Kentucky football fans set their sights on Will Stein‘s first season, now is a good time to catch up with someone who’s spent time with the Kentucky football head coach. Last week, Peter Burns, Chris Doering, and an SEC Network camera crew traveled to Lexington to hang out with the first-year head coach. In addition to a lengthy conversation, they also played a little pickleball. — Who’s winning the PGA Championship? — How quickly can Stein make the Cats competitive? — What does the SEC pecking order look like this fall?

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.

Kentucky returned home this weekend for a three-game homestand. The Bat Cats were riding a long SEC series losing streak and needed to flip the script after a 9-13 run over the last 22 games. Nick Mingione‘s squad did just that. The Bat Cats find themselves on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble after taking a home series over ranked Tennessee, but the the work is not done yet. The final SEC road trip of the season arrives this weekend before a critical home series next weekend before the postseason beings. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
