Rupp To No Good

Is John Calipari going fully Billy Bean? Can you win with 8 freshmen? Are the Bat Cats the greatest to ever do it? The R2NG cast has those answers for you.

Oscar is gone, so is Chris, maybe Antonio too, and WT-actual-F is going on with Bradshaw??? Kentucky finally gets to move on and focus on other players, but can they get it done?

If Cal was truly sleeping, Bradley officially woke him up.

The lovely R2NG listeners help our cast with the topics of our latest episode, including what is Cal up to, what are our options at center, does UK need a GM, and will Cal have to play small ball.

Lance leaves us :( and Cal has a lot to do in the frontcourt. The R2NG cast explores our remaining options in at the 4 and 5 positions in the waning hours of the transfer portal, discusses whether a failed offseason is a possibility, and attempts to draft a Final Four squad worth of Kentucky bench players under Cal.

Buddy has a HUGE decision to make *eye emojis*! What does Levis's stock mean for the football squad, does Kentucky have room for more transfer guards, and what is up with Dickinson?

Brandon Ramsey of KSR joins the show to talk about what the potential role of Hunter Dickinson could be at Kentucky, if we can expect sophomore jumps from Ugonna Onyenso and Adou Thiero, and what Hogwarts Houses we all belong to.

John Calipari has the tough decision with Ugonna Onyenso, Oscar Tshiebwe, and Hunter Dickinson; who does he make his starting center, who is the backup, and who needs to start learning Chinese? The R2NG cast also picks who they want to start, bench, and cut in random Kentucky basketball categories. And if that doesn't sound interesting, Bradley tells a brief story of President George W Bush.

Friend of the program Anna Tarullo joins the show to talk our favorite all-time Cats, the return of Ugonna Onyenso, and the stay-or-go decisions of Oscar Tshiebwe, Chris Livingston, and Antonio Reeves. As always, Bradley gives us his portal update, but managed to break a different podcast tradition...

TJ Walker joins the show to talk UConn's Mickey Mouse blue blood title, Kentucky's offseason decisions, do we want Hunter Dickinson or not, and general R2NG nonsense.

Kentucky's McDonald's All American representatives show out, player comps and scouting reports for the incoming freshmen, and how to address the portal and other key decisions to be made in the offseason.
