Locked On Kentucky - Daily Podcast On Kentucky Wildcats Football & Basketball

Kentucky basketball probably shouldn't go after this college basketball transfer portal player.

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses Oklahoma Sooners transfer Javian McCollum. The Kentucky Wildcats have expressed interest in McCollum, but is he really the right fit for UK basketball at guard? Dawe breaks down the positives and negatives of McCollum's game and explains why he may not be the best system fit for the Wildcats.

Justin Edwards has declared for the NBA Draft. How big of a loss is this for John Calipari and the Cats? What could Edwards have developed into if he had stayed? What will Kentucky basketball do at small forward next season? Utah State Aggies transfer Great Osobor should be contacted by the Kentucky Wildcats. He's an explosive, strong, rebounding frontcourt piece that could do well with UK.

Episode Notes

Kentucky basketball is in hot pursuit of Liam McNeeley, one of the best shooters in this year's recruiting class.

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses the Kentucky Wildcats and their recruitment of five-star small forward Liam McNeeley. McNeeley is one of the most consistent players in the 2024 college basketball recruiting class. John Calipari and Kentucky basketball are one of his final schools he is considering after decommitting from the Indiana Hoosiers - including the UConn Huskies, the Kansas Jayhawks, the Houston Cougars, and the Michigan Wolverines.

Does Kentucky really want McNeeley, or should they go after a more experienced transfer? The roster is already bringing in six freshmen. How many more does UK need? To wrap up the show, Dawe takes a look at Virginia Tech Hokies transfer Sean Pedulla and discusses how he could fit very well into the Kentucky Wildcats 2024-25 roster.
