It felt like summer at Kroger Field. Kentucky kicked off the month of June by hosting hundreds of campers for a Sunday Showcase Camp. A little rain couldn’t keep a future Cat off the field. Driving summer rainstorms peppered the landscape off and on all afternoon. It drove some of the players to the newly renovated indoor facility, but many of Sunday’s stars roughed it through the rain. Spectators were treated to a few special moments from the most talented young players in the state of Kentucky and a future Wildcat quarterback.

Jim Harbaugh has moved up to the National Football League. The national championship head coach is now the leader of the Los Angeles Chargers and brought former Kentucky defensive backs coach Steve Clinkscale with him. Despite the personnel moves, Michigan and Kentucky have not stopped butting heads on the recruiting trail. Dane Key and Deone Walker picked Kentucky in the class of 2022 despite having Michigan listed as a finalist. Jyaire Hill, Karmello English, Brandyn Hillman, Cameron Calhoun, Jason Hewlett, and DJ Waller Jr. all picked Michigan in the 2023 recruiting cycle despite all having...

The world of college athletics is changing dramatically thanks to the inaction of its old leaders. Mark Emmert was hesitant to get behind NIL. The NCAA’s hand was forced and now litigation may force their hands again. On Monday night Pete Thamel reported on a potential outcome of one of four lawsuits that’s expected to create a seismic shift in college athletics. The addition of NIL rules led former athletes to file a lawsuit for lost revenue, seeking financial compensation for the money they couldn’t make prior to 2021. The hook on Thamel’s report is that a settlement is on the horizon and th...

The ink has dried. DJ Waller Jr. is officially a Kentucky Wildcat. The Youngstown native only entered the transfer portal five days ago. Already quite familiar with the Kentucky football program, after making a trip to Lexington over the weekend, the deal was sealed. He announced his commitment to Kentucky on Saturday. Mark Stoops made the addition official on Monday. “DJ Waller is a long, athletic and physical player who is coming in here hungry and ready to work,” Stoops said in a statement. “We are excited to welcome him to our Wildcat family.” A 6-foot-3 cornerback, he has the frame Kentuc...

Welcome to Sunday, Big Blue Nation. The last weekend in April wraps up today. This time next week many in this beautiful state will be recovering from Kentucky Derby weekend. A tentpole event for the state is right around the corner, but it’s kind of hard to look ahead to anything at the moment. We are currently neck-deep in roster-building season in both basketball and football. New head coach Mark Pope and his coaching staff have the most work to do. The Wildcats are finishing off a visit with Saint Mary’s guard transfer Aidan Mahaney, but also officially added two pieces to the roster on Sa...

How about a big-time Yahtzee to keep the good weekend vibes rolling? Michigan cornerback transfer DJ Waller Jr., a former three-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, has committed to Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats. The Youngstown native made the announcement on Saturday, making Lexington his new home after a brief stay in Ann Arbor. The move comes after Stoops and Vince Marrow lost the first recruiting battle out of high school, only to win the war down the line. Michigan coach Sherrone Moore raved about the defensive back during spring practice, calling Waller a star in the makin...

Kentucky is in the market for a cornerback in the transfer portal. The Wildcats’ top target begins an official visit today in Lexington. Kentucky Sports Radio’s Matt Jones reports DJ Waller Jr. will be on campus two days after the Michigan cornerback hopped into the transfer portal. Shortly after the news broke, Kentucky emerged as the frontrunner. The latest development only reinforces that belief. A three-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, it was a recruiting showdown between Youngstown natives for the Youngstown athlete. Vince Marrow made multiple trips to his hometown, but Steve C...

The NFL Draft is the best non-game event on the sports calendar. I do not believe there is a close second. The league has really leaned into the entertainment part of this tentpole offseason event taking the draft on the road over the last decade. That has built some incredible environments and ramped up the drama of a live television event. On Thursday night, the Atlanta Falcons gave us one of the biggest draft surprises in recent memory when they shockingly took Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8 overall. Why was this a wild pick by Atlanta? Likely because this franchise appea...

Throughout transfer portal windows, names emerge quickly as targets, sometimes from out of nowhere. A few players who are contacted initially are off the board as quickly as their name is written down, while others create an eye-opening response. The latter applies to DJ Waller Jr. Kentucky is in the market for a starting-caliber cornerback and Waller fits the bill. The former Michigan Wolverine entered the transfer portal on Wednesday with three years of eligibility remaining and Kentucky quickly emerged as his top potential destination. Let’s take a closer look at what he could bring to the ...

Michigan Wolverines sophomore cornerback DJ Waller has entered the NCAA transfer portal, according to On3’s Pete Nakos. This is the first transfer post-spring football for U-M, and a bit of a surprising one. He has three seasons of eligibility remaining. Waller was expected to compete for the No. 2 cornerback job this season next to star Will Johnson, along with classmate Jyaire Hill and senior Ja’Den McBurrows. At 6-3, 205, he had the size and athleticism the staff was looking for at the position. With depth questions at cornerback and safety, this could be a move that prompts action in the t...
