The former Ohio State offensive lineman is transferring to UK, giving them another talented big ugly for the future. He'll be eligible to play next year along with incoming four-star OL Drake Jackson and Landon Young. With UK also recruiting highly-touted JUCO OL Tate Leavitt, Kentucky is finally looking like a true SEC team in the trenches.

Kash Daniel invited to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
This is just the latest prestigious honor Kash has received. He was recently bumped up to four-star status and ranked a top-100 prospect by 24/7 Sports. Mark Stoops badly needs to keep the Paintsville product in-state. -
Kentucky wide receiver target Eric Kumah has committed to Virginia Tech.

Andrew Harrison worked out for the L.A. Lakers.
The Lakers need more depth at point guard (and every position for that matter), so this would be a good team for Andrew to be picked by. He'd also get a year or two to learn from the great Kobe Bryant. -
Josh Jackson talks about Kentucky and his recruitment.
247Sports analyst Jerry Meyer went as fas as to say Jackson's game ’embodies’ where basketball is headed. -

UNC extends Roy Williams’ contract through the 2019-20 season.
Proof that if you're gonna cheat, don't get caught. North Carolina may have been caught, but there's nothing to suggest ol' Roy did (except for the rampant cheating under his watch). -
Duke releases 2015-16 non-conference schedule.
The Blue Devils will play some tough neutral-site games, but no true road games.
