Year in and year out, John Calipari recruits the best talent in the country for Kentucky basketball. Why is he underperforming with it? On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe explains why he believes Calipari is close to failing the Kentucky Wildcats' basketball program despite his recruiting abilities. The offensive and defensive scheme have failed the Wildcats in big games, and the lack of execution and cohesion in Kentucky's two losses to Michigan State and Gonzaga have been full of poor offensive play calling and defensive lapses. What is it going to take for it to change? Will Cal ever change? Despite the beginning of the season being a little disappointing, Kentucky has plenty of time to dig themselves out of the hole they are in. It starts with Oscar Tshiebwe. Tshiebwe's value to the team cannot be understated. If the rotation continues to play as it has, the Wildcats can't win without him in important games. The Governor's cup is tomorrow. Louisville comes into the contest ranked (?)... but Kentucky is favored. If the talent takes over and Mark Stoops and Rich Scangarello don't botch it, the Wildcats should win.

There are a lot of things that John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats need to fix. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe recaps Kentucky's 86-77 loss to Michigan State in the State Farm Champions Classic. Oscar Tshiebwe was back and played excellent for the Wildcats, but the team could not overcome poor free throw shooting, confused defense, and back offensive scheming. Tom Izzo was in his BAG in this game. Sahvir Wheeler's play needs to be discussed. He scored, but missed several shots that could have given the Wildcats the win. Cason Wallace stepped up in regulation with EIGHT steals, but could not handle the pressure in the two overtimes. The guard play overall needed a boost - where was Antonio Reeves?? What is going on with John Calipari in close games? Is the coaching staff failing this talent on roster? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Well, ladies and gentlemen, John Calipari and Kentucky basketball are about to do it again. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses the reports surrounding five-star combo guard DJ Wagner. Per several sources, Wagner is going to commit to Kentucky as early as Monday. Wagner would round out one of Caliper's best classes to date, with four five-stars (Justin Edwards, Aaron Bradshaw, DJ Wagner, Rob Dillingham) and one four-star (Reed Sheppard). It will be the No. 1 class in the nation. And we were told a few months ago that no one could unseat Duke. Lance also dives into the Blue Blood Breakdown, where he takes a look into how some of the biggest names in college basketball are performing. North Carolina, Kansas, Duke, UCLA, Gonzaga, etc. Finally, Lance replays a conversation with Isaac Shade of the Locked On College Basketball podcast. Will Oscar Tshiebwe and Sahvir Wheeler be ready to go against Michigan State? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! LinkedIn LinkedIn jobs helps you find the candidates you want to talk to, faster.

Kentucky should be out and running in their second game of the season - with out without Oscar Tshiebwe and Sahvir Wheeler. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe previews the Wildcats' matchup with the Dukes, who thrashed Montana in their season opener. Dawe explains the two key statistics in this matchup that should dictate the outcome. Dae Dae Grant seems to be the only change Duquesne has, but never underestimate your opponent. John Calipari put emphasis on the outside shot in the season opener. Can Antonio Reeves and CJ Fredrick continue their hot shooting into the thick of non-conference play? Lance gives a his thoughts and a final score prediction for the game. It's early signing period for college basketball, and Kentucky is collecting their final pieces of what should be the best class in the country. Rob Dillingham, Justin Edwards and Reed Sheppard are all signed, with DJ Wagner and Aaron Bradshaw not far behind. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

What will the Kentucky Wildcats do with Oscar Tshiebwe and Sahvir Wheeler out healing from injury? On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe takes a look into the Kentucky basketball rotation and explains why he believes the Wildcats will be just fine without Wheeler and Tshiebwe (at least, for now). John Calipari and Kentucky take on Duquesne on Friday and despite being down two starters, they should be okay. Cason Wallace filled in nicely in Wheeler's absence, and the combination of Ugonna Onyenso and Lance Ware were *decent* in the post for UK. Lance takes a look ahead to Kentucky's most difficult non-conference games and gives three reasons why he believes the Wildcats will thrive through the slate. UK has the shooters and speed to make some real noise early in the season. Finally, Dawe presents who he believes to be the most underrated piece on Kentucky basketball's roster.

The Kentucky Wildcats are in a real slump right now. Can Will Levis & Co. pull out of it? On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe is joined by John Miller of the Locked On Mizzou podcast to help preview Kentucky's matchup with the Tigers this Saturday. A lot is going to be made out of Will Levis, who has really not lived up to the hype this season. Statistically, he's been mediocre, and on film he's not been the best decision maker. His offensive line has not helped him out either. Nor has his play caller. The Missouri defense is much improved compared to where it was a season ago. The Tigers should give the Wildcats a serious run for their money, as long as they don't turn the ball over themselves. Lance and John talk matchups, headlines, and score predictions.

Does Kentucky have what it takes to hang around and win against Tennessee this weekend? On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe is joined by Eric Cain of the Locked On Vols podcast to preview Tennessee vs Kentucky. The guys talk about the biggest headlines - How does Kentucky slow the game down? When is Tennessee's "C+" game coming? - and the biggest matchups. Chris Rodriguez and the Wildcats' rushing attack may be the biggest key to success for Mark Stoops & Co. in this one. Eric and Lance break down the importance of pace and how the duo of Jaylin Hyatt and Hendon Hooker may simply be too much for Will Levis and the UK offense. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

We as a nation need to stop sleeping on Adou Thiero. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe recaps Kentucky basketball's Blue/White scrimmage over this past weekend. Adou Thiero scored 21 points and looked incredibly smooth for a former three-star that some were already writing off after his commitment to the Wildcats earlier this year. He's more polished than expected, and while his role may not be significant for Kentucky this season, he should be one of the more efficient players the Wildcats have rotating in off the bench. Who will Kentucky basketball's breakout player be this season? Most of you agree that it's Jacob Toppin - but Cason Wallace, Chris Livingston, and Daimion Collins are all poised to make some noise for BBN. Dawe shares his thoughts. Finally, Lance continues the player preview series with Antonio Reeves - a high scoring guard transfer from Illinois State that could prove to be an incredibly valuable addition to the Wildcats' backcourt. Could Reeves be UK's second-best scoring option? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! SweatBlock If you or someone you love is experiencing embarrassing sweat or odor try Sweatblock.

The Kentucky Wildcats and John Calipari are this close to securing the best class in the 2023 recruiting cycle. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe is joined by Jason Jordan of Sports Illustrated to talk about five-star center Aaron Bradshaw and his commitment to Kentucky right before Big Blue Madness. Could he be the best recruit in Kentucky's loaded class? Bradshaw is a defensive menace, who possesses excellent shot-blocking ability and a presence at the rim. His offensive game is still coming along, but his length and instincts have made him one of the best prospects in this upcoming cycle. DJ Wagner, a high school teammate of Bradshaw, is strongly leaning towards coming to play for Kentucky basketball as well. Is it going to happen? If so, could this be one of Kentucky's best classes of all time?? Finally, Lance continues his player preview series with Daimion Collins, who given the minutes could blossom into a first round NBA Draft talent. He's got the skills to make a huge jump - only if Cal and UK find him time on the floor in a crowded front court. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

We called it. Chris Rodriguez needed to tote the rock against the Mississippi State Bulldogs to secure a win, and boy did he. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe recaps Kentucky's 27-17 win over Mississippi State. He breaks down Rodriguez's performance and explains why even though Will Levis is extremely valuable for the Wildcats, CRod is the most important piece for this specific offense. Five-star center Aaron Bradshaw committed to Kentucky over the weekend. Whoah. Bradshaw will compete for playing time with five-star Ugonna Kingsley next season. The front court should be in good hands following the departure of Oscar Tshiebwe. Lance talks about Kentucky's 2023 recruiting class and breaks down Calipari's return to the top of the recruiting rankings as well as the individual pieces in the super class. Could DJ Wagner hop on as well? Finally, the preseason AP Top 25 poll and the KenPom ratings are officially out, and the Wildcats are No. 4 and No. 1 respectively in the polls. Should UK be higher in the AP? Does North Carolina truly deserve the top spot? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Will Levis is BACK for Kentucky. This is great for the offense, but will the Wildcats be able to return to form? On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses Levis' return to practice after his foot injury. Even though he's back, it doesn't really feel like the Wildcats' offense will be able to really do much more unless the pass blocking gets better. Both Mark Stoops and Zach Yenser have harped on this, and it doesn't seem like things are really going to change halfway through the season. Kentucky running back Chris Rodriguez has barely touched the ball in the last two games in the fourth quarter. Why isn't CRod getting more touches? How crucial is it that UK lets him carry the load against Mississippi State this weekend? Finally, Lance kicks off his player preview series for the upcoming Kentucky basketball season - Ugonna Kingsley Onyenso is first up. While Tshiebwe will be Kentucky's primary option at center, Onyenso will be an interesting defensive prospect that will command some form of playing time (especially during the non-conference slate). We also briefly touch on Big Blue Madness and what to expect. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! LinkedIn LinkedIn jobs helps you find the candidates you want to talk to, faster.

Now that Chris Rodriguez is officially back for Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats, can we finally see some balance in this offense? On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe is joined by Andrew Lyon of the Locked On Gamecocks podcast to preview Kentucky vs South Carolina. The guys dig into the biggest storylines of the late night matchup. Can Kentucky run the ball? Can the Gamecocks get pressure from an underperforming defensive line? How does Spencer Rattler look? How do the Wildcats shake off a rocky performance filled with mistakes at Ole Miss? Lance and Andrew also take a look at matchups - Rattler vs the UK secondary, Kentucky's offensive line vs USC's EDGE rushers, Matt Ruffalo vs himself, and more. Finally, they give their score predictions and final thoughts. Kentucky should win, but will they play a complete four quarters? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Kentucky basketball 2022-23 schedule is finally here. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe breaks down the schedule and gives his thoughts on the upcoming season. Kentucky football lost to Ole Miss last weekend. Even after shooting themselves in the football multiple times, the Wildcats still had two opportunities to win the game at the very end. Lance explains why the Ole Miss loss isn't the end of the world, and that the dream season is still very much alive. Finally, Lance gives a brief preview of South Carolina through the numbers. The Gamecocks are a little shaky heading into this matchup with Kentucky this weekend. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Can Mark Stoops and the Wildcats get it done on the road again? On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe is joined by Locked On Ole Miss host Steven Willis to preview No. 7 Kentucky vs No. 14 Ole Miss. The guys break down the headlines as the matchup draws closer. Star running back Chris Rodriguez is back for the Wildcats and should make an impact on a relatively dead rushing attack. Ole Miss' rushing attack, on the other hand, has been extremely lethal (albeit against weak competition) thus far this season. The trenches are going to play a huge role in this matchup. How does Ole Miss' banged up defensive front take on Kentucky's offensive line? Can Will Levis find enough time in the pocket to get the ball to Tayvion Robinson, Dane Key, and Barion Brown? Ole Miss has a pair of injuries at the running back position. Can Quinshon Judkins carry the load for the Rebels' offense? How does QB Jaxson Dart fair against a strong secondary? Finally, the guys give their predictions as to how the game is going to go down. It's a huge one in Oxford, Mississippi. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
