‘It’s Thin’: Will Stein hints at bad news on Kentucky’s injury front
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 ...

Kentucky vs. LSU is a hotter ticket than Alabama vs. Georgia
Want to check out the ranked head-to-head battle between Kentucky and LSU next weekend at Kroger Field? Be prepared to pay a pretty penny—or head to Tuscaloosa if you want a discounted fan experience. All the national fuss is about No. 2 Georgia traveling to No. 7 Alabama on Saturday, October 10, with kickoff at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC. And it makes sense, given what’s on the line: undefeated juggernauts competing atop the SEC standings, with the winner earning bragging rights as No. 1. But what if I told you that ticket at Bryant-Denny Stadium is currently cheaper than one in Lexington with Lane ...

Kentucky 2027 commits this week: Austin Coles headlines big slate
Most of the Kentucky Wildcats 2027 commits will spend Friday night in the football world they've always known: a Friday-night band, a small-town crowd, and a stadium where everyone knows every name on the roster. Austin Coles will spend his in a different universe. The 6-foot-4, 195-pound receiver plays for St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, and the Raiders visit Chaminade-Madonna at 6:30 p.m. ET. High School Football America put the game on its list of the five best matchups in the country this weekend, and it's the one Kentucky fans should circle. Aquinas is unbeaten and hasn't lost in 19 games, and it leads the early projections for Florida's new eight-team Open Division bracket. The defense has been stingy, giving up 45 points total across five games. Chaminade-Madonna is 4-1 and a fixture in state title games, even after losing a chunk of its roster to Carol City over the summer. The campuses are a short drive apart, and last October Aquinas won this one 27-19. For Coles, this is the part of the story that rankings can't capture. He topped 850 yards in each of his two seasons at Barrington, Illinois, and in 2025 he reached personal bests
