Kentucky basketball commit flies up 2027 class rankings

Mark Pope and the Kentucky basketball team got a big recruiting win last week, landing 2027 center Cherif Millogo . Now, that win is even more impressive. In their most recent update to the rankings, 247Sports has moved him way up the list, making him the No. 15 overall player in the class. Millogo is a 7'4" center from Burkina Faso who plays his high school ball in California. His length is an obvious advantage, but he is also athletic, and can shoot the ball effectively from outside of the paint, including the three-point line. Before he signed with the Wildcats, Millogo was considered a top 50 recruit, and ESPN had him as a top ten player. Now, the other services have caught up. On3 also has him as a top 15 player in their rankings as he has the potential to be one of the best players in the class. Kentucky has put together a solid class already with Millogo and Ryan Hampton. They also have their sights on No. 2 overall player C.J. Rosser. It's Mark Pope's best recruiting class ever, and keeps getting better. This article originally appeared on UK Wildcats Wire: Kentucky basketball commit flies up

Kentucky's first snow flurries of the season may be coming soon

It is possible that Kentucky could get its first snowflakes of the season later this week, according to the National Weather Service. A cold front is expected to move through the region behind a round of strong thunderstorms Wednesday evening. Thursday’s projected high temperature in Lexington is 52 degrees, and the temperature is not expected to rise above 50 degrees Friday through Sunday, according to the NWS’ seven-day forecast for Lexington . Low temperatures are expected to be in the 20s and 30s in the evenings, and any lingering precipitation from Wednesday’s showers could result in snow flurries Thursday night, particularly in Eastern Kentucky. The NWS said warm ground temperatures should prevent any snow flurries from sticking . The weather is expected to remain dry after the storm and snow flurries chances, according to the NWS. Western Kentucky is under a marginal risk of severe weather , the lowest risk out of five in the NWS’ storm prediction center, from Wednesday’s storms. Strong winds and small hail are the expected hazards from the storms. The broken line of showers and storms will quickly move through the region from west to east late Wednesday.

Kentucky Wildcats open as a slight favorite over the Florida Gators

Despite losing to the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday and being dismantled in the fourth quarter, the Kentucky Wildcats should still, generally speaking, control their own destiny. It feels safe to say that any 2-loss SEC team would crack the College Football Playoff. With Florida , Missouri, and Louisville remaining on their schedule, that three-game win streak isn't going to come easy. While none of those three programs are ranked now, all three have been at times throughout the season and should give their best against the high-profile Cats. That said, for the Cats to sustain their CFP odds, winning Saturday at home is a must. The sportsbooks seem to think they'll be able to get things done as well. Kentucky opened as a 2.5-point home favorite, but that quickly jumped to 3.5 points, where it currently sits at DraftKings Sportsbook . The total is 53.5. The Cats are -166 on the moneyline, which means a bet of $166 on them to win outright would net $100 for a total payout of $266. 🚨 Kentucky opens as 2.5-point favorites against Florida on Saturday inside Kroger Field, according to FanDuel! 😼 Both teams will be coming off a loss heading into this

Mason Williams making a name for himself, earns SEC honors

The bright lights of the Champions Classic don’t wait for anyone to get comfortable. Mason Williams didn’t need the extra time. Two games into his college career, Kentucky basketball's 6-foot-3, 210-pound freshman guard from Dallas has done something no one saw coming. He won the SEC's first Freshman of the Week honor of the 2026-27 season, he announced Monday. He did it by running an offense rather than hunting for shots. Great opening week from @MaseWill5 👏 🗞️ https://t.co/y9dQh3WWPY pic.twitter.com/OG6YGBK5JO — Kentucky Men’s Basketball (@KentuckyMBB) November 9, 2026 The numbers are tidy. Williams averaged 9.5 points and 5.0 assists in Kentucky’s wins over Manhattan and James Madison. He shot 57.1 percent from the field and 60.0 percent from 3-point range. His 10 assists lead the Wildcats, and his 5.0 per game rank second among SEC freshmen and are tied for 14th nationally. He started quietly and effectively. Williams came off the bench in his collegiate debut against Manhattan and logged 19 minutes, scoring seven points and handing out five assists in an 85-47 rout of the Jaspers. Then he got better. Against James Madison , Williams scored 12 points, dished five more assists, grabbed two rebounds and picked up a

What Miles Brown said about Kentucky football commitment, senior season with Westview

When Miles Brown leaves Westview to enroll early at Kentucky in the spring, he will do so with a long list of athletic accomplishments. The senior receiver and cornerback has been one of the top pass-catching options for the Chargers (11-0) during their 25-game win streak, which dates to the start of Brown’s junior season. Stream Tennessee high school football playoffs live on NFHS Network Brown won a state championship with the Chargers last season, catching four passes for 63 yards and a touchdown as part of Graham Simpson’s record-setting 566-yard passing day . Brown was also the driving force behind Westview’s 25-8 record last basketball season as the team made its first trip to the TSSAA boys basketball state championship game in program history . But there’s still more Brown wants to accomplish. Westview’s all-time leader in touchdown catches is hungry to return to the state title game and be part of the team that wins back-to-back titles for the first time in school history. “I don’t think we realize it every day, but this is a squad that will go down in the history books for Westview,” Brown said. “For this last round, we want to get a

CHICAGO — Fueled by a critical run of 12 straight points early in the second half, the 15th-ranked Kansas men’s basketball team defeated No. 24 Kentucky in resounding fashion, 89-69, on Tuesday night in the Champions Classic.

“I feel like we stayed foot on the gas tonight,” fifth-year guard Tre White said. “We didn’t get complacent.”. Facing the primary recruiting rival he spurned in favor of KU, freshman forward Tyran Stokes did a bit of everything for the Jayhawks and came away with 23 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double. White was KU’s leading scorer with a career-high 30 points and added six boards of his own, and Trey Kaufman-Renn chipped in 12 points, six rebounds and six assists for the Jayhawks. They played their first game without guard Melvin Council Jr., who suffered a broken foot in practice on Monday.
