The biggest concern for Kentucky going into Saturday’s game vs. No. 10 LSU? Injuries. Several Cats are licking their wounds after the first five games of the season. We won’t have specifics until tomorrow’s injury report, but Will Stein hinted at bad news as his team prepares for the Tigers. “We’ve dealt with some injuries as of late that aren’t, hopefully, season-ending, but that will show up on the injury report tomorrow as definitely questionable for this next game, with the potential, too, to be out.” Seven players were listed as out on the final SEC Availability Report before the South Ca...

Kentucky will try to flip a major Louisville commit
Since Will Stein took over the head coaching job with the Kentucky football team, he has changed the way the Wildcats recruit. He has already landed a number of four-star recruits, and is making Lexington a destination for the country's best players. Now, Stein is taking another step, and is trying to flip an elite recruit from their biggest rival, Louisville. Ja'Hyde Brown is a 5'10", 186 lb wide receiver out of Louisville, Kentucky. He is currently rated four stars by 247Sports and ranks as their No. 195 overall player in the 2027 class. In March, he committed to the Cardinals, but that hasn't stopped other teams from staying in touch. Since his commitment, Brown's stock has risen even higher. Some services have him as a top 100 player, and it has led to a number of teams setting up visits, including Kentucky. On3's Steve Wiltfong is reporting that Brown will take a visit to Lexington this weekend. That comes after a visit to the Florida Gators . He is also set to visit the Texas Longhorns in a few weeks. Flipping Brown to Kentucky might be a long shot. For his part, Brown still says he's committed to Louisville.

Lane Kiffin Salutes Stein, Prepares for Confident Kentucky Football Team
Lane Kiffin has plenty of experience coaching against Kentucky. One loss to his pal Mark Stoops cost him a chance at the College Football Playoff in 2024. This fall, he’s at a new school, facing a new coach on the Kentucky sideline. There isn’t a ton of familiarity between the two coaches, aside from seating assignments next to each other at the SEC Spring Meetings, but Kiffin is impressed with what Will Stein has done through his first five games at Kentucky. “I think they’re really well coached. I think he’s done a great job of bringing energy into the program, coming in, and they’re really ...
