Speaking on the Str8 to Da League podcast, Jermaine O'Neal shared that Kentucky was his top choice coming out of high school and that Pitino had heavily recruited him, making multiple in-home visits with O'Neal and his family. "I was going to go to Kentucky. Shout out to Rick Pitino, man. Like he recruited me, and this was like the realest thing, man. My mother loved him, man. She loved him," O'Neal said. According to O'Neal, Pitino's honesty ultimately convinced him to skip college and enter the NBA Draft.
Jermaine O'Neal: I was going to go to Kentucky. Shout out to Rick Pitino man. Like he recruited me and this was like the realest thing man. My mother loved him man. She loved him. He was sitting in our living room he said look man, he said Jermaine he came all four times on the visits and he said look everything I know about you and your family, you know, the struggles the things you’re going through. He said we’re going to be good with you or we going to be good without you. Would love to have you, but you should go pro. And that was the realest thing, bro.

And his head coach at BYU, Kevin Young, who was a longtime NBA assistant coach with the Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns, prepared him for the league's style and schemes. "KY just put us in positions to be a pro," Dybantsa said. "You've seen me a lot of isolations, you've seen me a lot of pick-and-roll. You've seen all of us in a lot of early action. We scored pretty early in the shot clock. So, I feel like I got used to how the NBA plays in college."

Kentucky is expected to hire Jackson State head coach Mo Williams as an assistant under Mark Pope, multiple sources tell KSR.

Brad Miller: It stinks to lose like a guy like De’Aaron Fox who wanted to be here. He went to Kentucky, which is like a college version of Sacramento. They only have Kentucky and they love them and they get 20 thousand fans a game and you know that love that they feel he won't be here. So, you know, it hurts.
Wall, who played alongside Davis during their college days at Kentucky, further fueled speculation by linking him to his hometown team. “You can’t believe everything you hear on the news, but you be hearing that he wants to go back to Chicago and see what’s going on,” Wall continued. “So, I think they’re trying to blow it up and build around Cooper Flagg and get rid of some of the other pieces, but they are one of those dark horse teams if they can stay healthy — keep AD there and let Kyrie come back. I feel like they could’ve been a team in the West, but I think with Nico Harrison’s firing they might end up going in a different direction.”

Ross then asked Herro if he thought Chamberlain “dropped 100” while playing for the Philadelphia Warriors in a game against the New York Knicks in March 1962. “Yeah,” the Kentucky alumni muttered, before questioning the popular streamer if he believed in history. “You think history is a real thing?” Herro asked, to which Ross replied with a confident “yeah.” “Nah, I don’t believe in history,” the NBA star said, shaking his head and leaning back in his chair. “No, I’m deadass.”
