Right when Kenny Brooks was hired, he made it known that Kentucky was a “sleeping giant” within the Southeastern Conference. Whether you like it or not, the SEC is the best conference in women’s college basketball. The last three national champions (South Carolina twice and LSU) came from the SEC. It’s just not a two-team league either. There were six total teams from the SEC in On3’s post-spring Top 25 as well. When you add in Texas and Oklahoma — two top-15 programs — the league just gets deeper. So, in what is the deepest, most talented, and most physical conference in the nation, where doe...

Virginia Tech transfer Georgia Amoore went on Sunday Morning Sports Talk last weekend to talk about her decision to come to Kentucky. The Australian point guard announced her departure from Virginia Tech on March 28, then revealed her commitment to Kentucky and Kenny Brooks (her former coach at VT) on April 4. Over her four-year career as a Hokie, Amoore averaged 14.7 points and 5.2 assists per game, with a staggering 18.8 points per game average as a senior. On top of that, the 5-foot-6 guard was the third all-time leading scorer for her program (1,853 points). During the show, Amoore was ask...

If there’s one thing we know about Kenny Brooks and his staff, it’s that they recruit about as hard as they can. Since arriving in Lexington, Kentucky women’s basketball has brought in and offered a lot of high-profile talent. Now, Brooks and his staff are out on the recruiting trail with boots on the ground at multiple high-level circuits and events. As for Brooks himself, he’s down in Atlanta, Georgia for the Brandon Clay Power 48 South. Additionally, Kentucky assistant Josh Petersen said on social media that he is in Iowa to watch some “future Wildcats”. He’ll be at Session 2 of the Nike EY...

Playing in the ACC for four years and then making the jump to the SEC is quite the move, and it’s one that Georgia Amoore will make. The 2023-24 Third Team AP All-American will go down as one of the best players in Virginia Tech history, but now, she’ll test her talents at Kentucky. Amoore’s 656 career assists are first all-time for the Hokies, and she is top five in several other categories for Virginia Tech. That includes games started, points, field goals, and three-pointers. She was a superstar in Blacksburg, but after her senior year, a big decision was on her hands. Georgia Amoore could ...

While the 2024-25 roster is just about to be done, Kenny Brooks is looking to set the foundation for the future. The new Kentucky women’s basketball head coach has already made several offers in the 2026 class, and he added another one on Tuesday. Four-star class of 2026 prospect Kate Harpring announced on social media that Brooks and the ‘Cats had extended her an offer. The 5-foot-9 guard holds offers from the likes of North Carolina, Ohio State, and Mississippi State, among several others. Harpring has a scouting grade of 94 from ESPN and is the No. 25 prospect in the sophomore class. She’s ...

Kenny Brooks has been working diligently to compile his first roster at Kentucky. Through the transfer portal, he has brought in several high-profile talents that should prove to make the ‘Cats competitive in the SEC this season. However, Brooks has also done some good work on the recruiting trail as well. Given that, ESPN has ranked Brooks’ first recruiting class in Lexington as the 11th best in the country. Five other SEC teams made the Top 25 in (3) South Carolina, (5) Texas, (9) Florida, (16) Georgia and (24) Oklahoma. ESPN notes that Clara Silva and Lexi Blue are two of Kentucky’s notable...

It wasn’t too long ago when Kentucky women’s basketball cracked ESPN’s Top 25 rankings, just making the cut at the No. 25 spot. UK was one of seven teams in the Southeastern Conference to make the list. However, in On3’s post-spring Top 25 rankings, the ‘Cats just narrowly missed the rankings. The USC Trojans take the No. 1 spot after landing Kentucky transfer target Talia von Oelhoffen. The reigning champion South Carolina Gamecocks are slated just behind them, with five other SEC schools making the Top 25. When KSR talked with On3’s Talia Goodman about Kentucky’s offseason, she said that Ken...

With an almost completely redone roster for the 2024-25 season, its certain that Kentucky Women’s Basketball has made a significant amount of changes. A new coach, 10 new players, and an almost entirely new staff are going to make for an interesting season. At this point, we’re seeing the roster take shape in real-time. While rising juniors Cassidy Rowe and Saniah Tyler have stuck around for the blue and white, head coach Kenny Brooks has added a slew of players from the transfer portal. So, with 11 players on the roster for the ‘Cats, what could Brooks’ starting five look like? While there ar...

Kenny Brooks has reeled in some exceptional talent in his first offseason at Kentucky women’s basketball. From All-American Georgia Amoore to First-Team All-AAC selection Dazia Lawrence, Brooks has brought in some of the best transfers on the market. But let’s turn the clock all the way back to his first commitment in Lexington — Eastern Florida State College (JUCO) transfer forward Amelia Hassett. It would feel odd to call her unproven given her resume and her track record — clearly, she can hoop. However, making the jump from the junior college ranks to the Southeastern Conference is a drama...

All offseason, we have raved about Kenny Brooks. As soon as his hiring was announced, the Commonwealth of Kentucky was buzzing in excitement and anticipation. Why? Because of his remarkable track record. Brooks produced a 180-82 overall record across eight seasons at Virginia Tech, including four straight NCAA Tournament appearances and a Final Four berth in 2023. He took over a program that hadn’t won at least 20 games since the 2005-06 season, and he went on to win at least 20 games in each of his first four seasons in Blacksburg and made the NCAA Tournament in 2020-21 despite only winning 1...
