On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe sits down with Matt Upchurch of the Kentucky 15 podcast to discuss Oscar Tshiebwe's announcement to return to Kentucky for his senior season. The guys go over what this means for the program on the surface. Not a lot of National Player of the Year award winners return to college. In fact, most of them end up being lottery picks and working out in the NBA. Tshiebwe is a major exception to the norm. Kentucky has also thrust itself into national title contention with Big O back on roster. Lance and Matt also speculate over if Kentucky's frontcourt is officially set with Tshiebwe back. Lance Ware, Jacob Toppin, and Damion Collins should be enough, and if five-star Leonard Miller commits to Kentucky, then the Wildcats will certainly be set. Finally, Lance reads off three common complaints of Kentucky fans from an article written by Mark Story, and Matt gives his perspective on the complaints.

Could Shaedon Sharpe return for the Kentucky Wildcats? It's looking more likely as the days go by... On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe speculates over whether or not rumors of Sharpe's return are legitimate. Lance also takes a look at two other potentially huge pieces of Kentucky basketball news surrounding Antonio Reeves and Leonard Miller.

Those could be huge additions. Finally, Lance looks at the best-case scenario dream lineup for the Wildcats this upcoming season. Yes, the lineup includes Sharpe and Tshiebwe.

On today's episode of Locked on Kentucky, Lance Dawe talks about Jacob Toppin's decision to declare for the NBA Draft. He discusses what the lineup will potentially look like if both Toppin and Keion Brooks decide to come back, or if one of them leaves and Kentucky brings in a transfer portal player. The Wildcats need someone at the 3 or the 4 so Chris Livingston isn't having to play a ton of minutes. Lance also asks a question on a lot of Kentucky fans' minds: What's Shaedon Sharpe doing? He still hasn't declared for the NBA Draft, and according to reports, he has no plans to until he finishes the semester. Could Sharpe return? Or is this a situation similar to TyTy Washington's? Finally, Dawe takes a look at a Rupp Rafters post explaining why Kentucky might be in a bad position next season. Lance shares his thoughts. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On today's episode of Locked on Kentucky, Lance Dawe goes over some Kentucky Football spring game notes. The Kentucky passing offense was expected to take off, and it surely did. Will Levis was incredibly efficient, as was Deuce Hogan. Freshman wide receiver Dane Key made his mark, scoring a touchdown on a wide open throw from Levis. Virginia Tech transfer Tayvion Robinson also got into the mix. Finally, Lance takes a look at Kenneth Lofton Jr, a (quite literally) massive transfer from Louisiana Tech that Kentucky has reportedly reached out to. Lance notes his efficiency during his freshman season with the Bulldogs and explains why he could be valuable to the Wildcats. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses Bryce Hopkins' decision to enter the transfer portal. The former Kentucky Wildcat received limited playing time this past season and would likely be sitting behind Jacob Toppin and Chris Livingston this upcoming season. He also dives into Kentucky football's spring game and how it could be a fireworks show. The Wildcats are depleted on the defensive side of the ball because of injuries and inexperience, therefore allowing Will Levis, Beau Allen, and Deuce Hogan to take advantage. Receivers like Dane Key and Izayah Cummings are going to needs to step up as well. Finally, Lance explains why Texas Tech transfer Terrence Shannon Jr. should be at the top of Kentucky's list. Shannon is a bouncy combo guard/forward that is incredibly aggressive offensively and possesses a lot of likable traits. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
