At Virginia Tech, Georgia Amoore became one of the best guards in college basketball in part because of Elizabeth Kitley, who opened things up for Amoore, allowing her to flourish. Kitley will go down as the greatest to ever do it in Blacksburg. The list of accolades is practically endless, and soon enough, her jersey will be in the rafters. On Nothing But Net with ESPN analyst Debbie Antonelli, Amoore said that it wasn’t necessarily skills that made their chemistry work so well, but their relationship. She is now looking forward to recreating that same bond with sophomore center Clara Strack....

Kenny Brooks‘ first offseason at Kentucky has been a fun one. Finally, it feels like there’s some serious momentum and expectations heading into the season. With the reveal of the 2024-25 SEC schedule, it’s time to break it down a bit further. Here are some takeaways and things to keep note of once Kentucky enters conference play. Man, the SEC is deepWhen people say “It Just Means More”, there’s a reason. The SEC is far and away the most talented, most physical, and deepest conference in college basketball. There are no “gimmes” in the SEC, unfortunately. After being picked to finish last in t...

Kenny Brooks has continued to add to his arsenal by adding not only fundamental pieces on the court but also off the court. On Friday, the Kentucky women’s basketball program announced that Brooks has hired Tevin Shears to be the Director of Creative Content. Everywhere Shears goes, there seems to be success that follows him. Shears got his name out there in the creative content world by running the social media for the boys’ basketball team at Dorman (SC) High School. The Cavaliers would win four consecutive 5A State Championships while he was there. Then, Shears was brought onto Dan Hurley’s...

On the men’s basketball side of things, we’ve seen a pair of Bluegrass boys sign to Kentucky in Travis Perry and Trent Noah. This was something that ‘Cats fans had been dying to see because they know just how much pride Perry and Noah will have being able to wear “KENTUCKY” across their chest. On the women’s basketball side, we have Cassidy Rowe, a rising junior guard out of Virgie. Growing up in the mountains of eastern Kentucky, it was always Rowe’s dream to one day play basketball at the Division I level in the state of Kentucky. KSR talked with Rowe’s father, Lonnie, about her lifelong jou...

Over on KSBoard earlier this week, we reported that Oregon State transfer guard Dominika Paurová was on a visit to Kentucky. Now, On3’s Talia Goodman reports that the 6-foot-1 guard has four schools in contention for her talents, and Kentucky women’s basketball is one of them. Goodman notes that Paurová has a visit scheduled for Arkansas this weekend. Mike Neighbors and the Razorbacks could add a much-needed piece to their roster. However, there are two Big Ten schools Goodman also mentions as schools to look out for in Michigan and Penn State. She’s already visited both, along with UK. During...

In his first offseason at Kentucky, Kenny Brooks has had to build the roster from the ground up. He’s been tasked with attacking the transfer portal heavily, and he’s done it about as well as anyone. Kentucky was named as one of the “winners” of the transfer portal by On3’s Talia Goodman on Wednesday. The ‘Cats were one of 10 schools mentioned. Brooks did a lot of his damage in the portal by bringing over some of his players from Virginia Tech. Alongside the high school commitments, Kentucky also landed Clara Strack and All-American guard Georgia Amoore. Additionally, Kentucky flipped JUCO tra...

Right when Kenny Brooks was hired, he made it known that Kentucky was a “sleeping giant” within the Southeastern Conference. Whether you like it or not, the SEC is the best conference in women’s college basketball. The last three national champions (South Carolina twice and LSU) came from the SEC. It’s just not a two-team league either. There were six total teams from the SEC in On3’s post-spring Top 25 as well. When you add in Texas and Oklahoma — two top-15 programs — the league just gets deeper. So, in what is the deepest, most talented, and most physical conference in the nation, where doe...
