Whatever ...😂...
Rex needs to be the permanent national broadcast announcer for Kentucky basketbal games again. And not just for the Kentucky feed channel.
Jeff, UL, and Mack are a great place to become role model to learn to be a man.LMFAO
TRUMP 2024!
Hey I'm tired of seeing all this junk about Jeff Sheppard. It's about his son not him. I'm a UK fan and im tired of seeing him and his wife on TV every time he plays. It's stupid. They had good careers not let him have the spotlight. Go talk to the black players families. How about that?????
Let’s make this about race you idiot lmao. You think if John Wall wouldn’t get camera time if his son played for UK? Shut up 😂
Don’t agree with ya , not everyday we have a player that both parents played at Uk and I’m sure race has anything to do with it.
U show me another top 10 lottery pick, that also had both parents star at UK and it would be the exact same way. Race has nothing to do with it. Damn, it gets old hearing all the us vs them divisive bullshit. Like Rodney King said..."Can't we all just get along"??
