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...

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 ...

At Kentucky, Rhyne Howard was about as dominant as it gets, and being the lone former ‘Cat in the WNBA, she has continued her reign of terror on the professional stage. Howard shined in her first two seasons in the W, being selected as an All-Star each year while winning Rookie of the Year in 2022. Last season, Howard averaged 17.5 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 3.5 APG, and shot 35.2% from three-point range — all improvements from her rookie year. The former 3x AP All-American seems to be improving on a game-to-game basis, and that has carried over to her third year in the league. In the Atlanta Dream’s seaso...

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...

Kentucky women’s basketball’s 2024-25 Southeastern Conference opponents were announced on Tuesday — and there’s a bit of a shakeup compared to years past. With the addition of Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC beginning this fall, the league is now up to 16 teams. For Kentucky’s schedule, that means taking on both the Longhorns and Sooners this coming season. On the flip side (and this could be considered good news), the Wildcats will only have to play defending champion South Carolina once. Kentucky and South Carolina had played each other twice during the regular season for the last 30 seasons. ...

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...
