Ever since the $82 million renovation of Memorial Coliseum got underway, there haven’t really been any updates on how things are coming along. Until now. In Kenny Brooks‘ interview with BBN Tonight on Tuesday, he talked about the progress that is being made to make Memorial Coliseum a state-of-the-art facility again, like it was when it was first constructed in 1950. Additionally, Brooks reveals that he and the staff had to sell recruits and transfers on the renderings of what Memorial Coliseum would look like in the end, and it wasn’t easy. “Having to put together a full roster, there was a l...

Ever since Kenny Brooks arrived at Kentucky, things have been moving fast. As he would describe it, “It’s been a whirlwind”. However, one thing that has helped Brooks slow things down and take a deep breath is the fact that the BBN has rallied behind him, and for good reason. Brooks has taken a program that won 12 games last season and completely flipped it on its head. The difference between the women’s basketball team from before and after he arrived in Lexington is night and day. Despite a bit of a drought as far as a winning culture goes, Brooks has fans excited for what’s to come. There h...

Mark your calendars, ladies and gentlemen. Instead of having to wait until Big Blue Madness to see Kenny Brooks for the first time as the women’s basketball coach at Kentucky, there will be a chance for fans to come see him as soon as the end of this month.

For the most part, we all know Kenny Brooks as the women’s basketball coach at Kentucky — the guy who has all of us excited for what’s to come for the women’s basketball program, but away from the court, he’s a husband and father. Brooks has four children, three of them being his daughters. There’s Kendyl, Chloe, Gabby and Nicholas. Kendyl and Chloe played for their dad over at Virginia Tech, and so did Gabby last season. However, Gabby has since followed her dad to Lexington to play for him at Kentucky. Of course, being a father of three girls, Brooks has heavily embraced the “girl dad” motto...

On Tuesday, Kenny Brooks sat down with our friends at BBN Tonight for an interview in which he discussed a number of topics. Among those topics was the new coaching staff he’s built. Brooks’ staff consists of a lot of the same faces he coached alongside during his tenure at Virginia Tech. In fact, of the 11 other staff members officially listed by UK, five of them followed Brooks from Virginia Tech. Lindsey Hicks (Associate Head Coach)Radvile Autukaite (Assistant Coach & Recruiting Coordinator)Kendall Dillard (Assistant Coach & Director of Player Development)Will Sims (Director of Scouting & P...

Out of the 13 players on Kenny Brooks’ roster, only two of them have had regular SEC experience: Cassidy Rowe and Saniah Tyler. The pair of juniors have been together for the past three seasons under former head coach Kyra Elzy. While they might stand at an average height of 5-foot-5 and a half, the guards are anything but fearful against their SEC competitors. The SEC has been a beast of college sports for years. While change is on the horizon, there’s no arguing that the SEC was once a dominant force that drove basketball, men’s and women’s. Ironically, it’s been 12 years since an SEC team h...

Over the past two months, Kentucky women’s basketball has been through a whirlwind. On March 26, the program officially announced that Kenny Brooks, former head coach at Virginia Tech, would be the brand new head coach for Kentucky WBB. Since then, we’ve seen (all but two) Wildcats depart from Kentucky, and we’ve seen some former Hokies make the trip to Lexington. Brooks has added a few assistants, and been clear about his intentions at Kentucky: win championships. Just the other day, on June 5, Oregon State guard Dominika Paurová committed to Kentucky, getting the roster a total of 13 players...

Virginia Tech transfer Georgia Amoore went on Sunday Morning Sports Talk last weekend to talk about her decision to come to Kentucky. The Australian point guard announced her departure from Virginia Tech on March 28, then revealed her commitment to Kentucky and Kenny Brooks (her former coach at VT) on April 4. Over her four-year career as a Hokie, Amoore averaged 14.7 points and 5.2 assists per game, with a staggering 18.8 points per game average as a senior. On top of that, the 5-foot-6 guard was the third all-time leading scorer for her program (1,853 points). During the show, Amoore was ask...

If there’s one thing we know about Kenny Brooks and his staff, it’s that they recruit about as hard as they can. Since arriving in Lexington, Kentucky women’s basketball has brought in and offered a lot of high-profile talent. Now, Brooks and his staff are out on the recruiting trail with boots on the ground at multiple high-level circuits and events. As for Brooks himself, he’s down in Atlanta, Georgia for the Brandon Clay Power 48 South. Additionally, Kentucky assistant Josh Petersen said on social media that he is in Iowa to watch some “future Wildcats”. He’ll be at Session 2 of the Nike EY...

All offseason, we have raved about Kenny Brooks. As soon as his hiring was announced, the Commonwealth of Kentucky was buzzing in excitement and anticipation. Why? Because of his remarkable track record. Brooks produced a 180-82 overall record across eight seasons at Virginia Tech, including four straight NCAA Tournament appearances and a Final Four berth in 2023. He took over a program that hadn’t won at least 20 games since the 2005-06 season, and he went on to win at least 20 games in each of his first four seasons in Blacksburg and made the NCAA Tournament in 2020-21 despite only winning 1...
