Not many high school recruits had a better recent stretch of AAU basketball than five-star Will Riley. The 6-foot-8 wing is among the most talented individual scorers on the Nike EYBL circuit right now, and he put on a show in Indianapolis over the weekend. His best outing was a 42-point explosion for UPlay in a dominant 100-60 win against Team Durant on Friday. Riley, ranked No. 9 overall in the 2025 class by On3, shot 15-16 from the floor to reach his 42 points, going a perfect 5-5 from deep and 7-7 from the line in addition to five assists. He was the subject of many “best performers from I...

When Davion Hannah took the hardwood over the weekend during the Indianapolis session of the Nike EYBL circuit, a familiar face was watching from the sidelines. No, I’m not talking about new head coach Mark Pope or any of his assistants (although they kept a close eye), I’m talking about former Kentucky guard Tyler Herro, who made All-SEC Second Team in 2019 before going on to enjoy a successful — and ongoing — NBA career that saw him win Sixth Man of the Year in 2022 with the Miami Heat. Hannah, a Wisconsin native ranked No. 31 overall in the 2025 class by the On3 Industry Ranking, suits up f...

Mark Pope and his assistants probably didn’t get much sleep over the weekend. With this being the first opportunity of the AAU season for college coaches to watch high school recruits in person, there were plenty of talented prospects to check out. The Kentucky staff made stops in Indianapolis (Nike EYBL), Texas (adidas 3SSB), and Kansas (Puma PRO16) from Friday-Sunday. Pope and assistant coach Jason Hart started in Indy on Friday while assistants Cody Fueger and Alvin Brooks were in Bryan (TX) and Wichita (KS), respectively. Fueger stayed in Texas on Saturday while Brooks joined Pope and Hart...

With two roster spots left to fill, Kentucky head coach Mark Pope is looking to lock those down sooner rather than later. The Wildcats are hosting a pair of important visitors on Monday in hopes of making that happen. North Florida transfer Chaz Lanier arrived in Lexington for his visit late Sunday night and will be in town throughout Monday. One of the top available targets in the portal, Lanier is coming off a visit to BYU over the weekend and will make a quick stop at Tennessee on Tuesday. A decision could come soon after that. In what was a breakout campaign as a senior in 2023-24, the 6-f...

A wild week at Valhalla Golf Club will come to a close on Sunday. The final round of the PGA Championship kicks off on Sunday in Louisville with the final group set to tee off on No. 1 at 2:35 p.m. ET. The golf was not boring on Moving Day. Shane Lowry tied a major championship record with a bogey-free round of nine-under 62 to move to 13-under. The 2019 Open Champion is now just two shots off the lead. Louisville (Ky.) St. Xavier product Justin Thomas fired a four-under 67 on Saturday to move to 10-under for the tournament. The 31-year-old is looking for his third Wanamaker Trophy and could b...

Day two of the third Nike EYBL session — hosted in Indianapolis — of the 2024 season is officially in the books, and KSR had boots on the ground for all of it. KSR’s Jack Pilgrim and Zack Geoghegan had all eyes on head coach Mark Pope and his two assistants, Alvin Brooks and Jason Hart, all day on Saturday. It was a busy one, too, with games beginning at 8:00 a.m. EST and the final set tipping off at 6:30 p.m. EST. There was plenty of talent to scout for the new Kentucky staff — KSR made sure to follow them around like lost puppies. What did we learn? Find out below with our top takeaways. We’...

Darryn Peterson was a high-priority prospect for Kentucky under former head coach John Calipari. New head coach Mark Pope is keeping the relationship alive for the Wildcats. “They re-offered me, so the interest is still there,” Peterson, who has already been re-offered by Pope and Kentucky, told On3 on Saturday. “Kentucky is still Kentucky to me, regardless of who is there. I never talked to Coach Pope until now but they’re recruiting me and I appreciate the love and them recruiting me and trying to get me to come there.” Peterson is considered the No. 3 overall prospect from the 2025 recruiti...

Mark Pope promised to continue recruiting the best of the best when he took the Kentucky job, and he’s following through on that promise by offering a scholarship to the best of the best. AJ Dybantsa is the consensus No. 1 recruit in high school basketball, the most dangerous player in the gym, no matter which one he strolls into any given weekend. At 6-9, 200 pounds, he’s long and wiry, yet slithery and smooth, carrying himself like a guard with the body of a four. A guy his size shouldn’t move like that, certainly not while making the shots and plays and defensive stops he does. In an era wh...

Will Riley put on a show Friday night in Indianapolis. Suiting up for UPlay in the third session of the Nike EYBL circuit, the five-star wing dropped 42 points on 15-16 shooting in a dominant 100-60 win over Team Durant. Not only did he miss just a single shot, but he was perfect from beyond the arc (5-5) and the free throw line (7-7). He chipped in five assists for good measure. “I was just feeling myself,” Riley said of his lights-out performance. “My team helped me get involved with it. It just felt like I couldn’t miss so I kept shooting.” Afterward, Riley spoke with reporters to provide a...
