June 30, 2022 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23 MB

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe takes a look at the current state of UK basketball. It's nowhere near as bad as some people might think.

TyTy Washington, Shaedon Sharpe first-round NBA Draft selections

June 24, 2022 08:00 - 24 minutes - 22.2 MB

TyTy Washington went way too low. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe breaks down Kentucky's two NBA draft selections in TyTy Washington and Shaedon Sharpe.

Kentucky basketball in the NBA Draft: Where Shaedon Sharpe, Tyty Washington will land

June 23, 2022 08:00 - 22 minutes - 20.6 MB

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe projects where former Kentucky Wildcats Shaedon Sharpe and Tyty Washington will go in the 2022 NBA Draft. Sharpe would be a great fit for a variety of teams, but is a dangerous pick because of the little amount of evaluation he has received. Someone within the top seven should take a chance on him because of his raw talent. Washington is also a bit of a question mark because of his injuries, but if he remains healthy he should be a versa...

June 21, 2022 08:00 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MB

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses Kentucky basketball's ceiling for the 2022-23 season and explains why he believes transfer guard Antonio Reeves could be the player that helps the Wildcats break through that ceiling.

Where Kentucky basketball stands with five-star Aaron Bradshaw

June 14, 2022 08:00 - 20 minutes - 18.8 MB

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe takes a look at five-star center Aaron Bradshaw, who just recently took a visit with the Wildcats. John Calipari really needs to nail the 2023 recruiting cycle, and picking up a potential Oscar Tshiebwe replacement in Bradshaw could be huge. Bradshaw has a raw offensive skill set but a lot of quickness for a center that stands at seven feet tall. Lance also takes a look at Shaedon Sharpe's draft stock, which if anything seems to be risin...

May 25, 2022 08:00 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MB

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe takes a look at a couple of polls he put out asking you guys what it would take for John Calipari to win the fanbase back. Will it take an Elite Eight appearance? A National Championship? Lance dives into why improvement in the regular season (changing some things offensively and defensively) may be more important than going all of the way in the tournament immediately. The SEC is about to completely change their scheduling when Texas an...

May 24, 2022 08:00 - 19 minutes - 18.2 MB

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses Baylor transfer Matthew Mayer. Why hasn't Kentucky reached out to him yet?

May 17, 2022 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MB

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe goes over three reasons why fans could be concerned about Kentucky basketball and their upcoming season. What does the depth chart look like with only ten scholarship players? Adou Thiero, Cason Wallace, CJ Fredrick, Chris Livingston, and Antonio Reeves are unknowns. Can they step up? John Calipari has caught a lot of flack for how he runs his offense. Does Kentucky have the personell to run what Cal wants to? Or will they be stuck feedi...

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe goes over some of the teams you want to see Kentucky play (and evidently beat, preferably by a considerable margin) this upcoming season.

Finally, CBS Sports released ...

Three Kentucky basketball players who could see their stock rise this offseason

May 06, 2022 08:00 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MB

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe takes a look at three Kentucky players he expects to make strides this offseason. Daimion Collins is a player that should see increased playing time now that Keion Brooks has entered the transfer portal. There's too much athleticism and talent to not give Collins a larger role in the rotation. This offseason could solidify those extra minutes. CJ Fredrick was a name everyone forgot about last season. He's still here, working incredibly h...

Does John Calipari have the right approach to NIL?

May 05, 2022 08:00 - 19 minutes - 18.5 MB

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe talks about John Calipari's recent comments about NIL and discusses whether or not he and Kentucky are taking the right approach. Staff member TJ Beisner also tweeted out similar opinions as Cal. Lance also discusses Kentucky's starting five, and projects out what it may look like this season.

May 04, 2022 08:00 - 21 minutes - 20 MB

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses Jai Lucas' decision to leave Kentucky for Duke. It's a shame that Coach Calipari let a talented young coach like Lucas go, especially to a recruiting rival like the Blue Devils. Not a lot of extremely positive news coming out of Kentucky as of late. In the realm of positive news, Adou Theiro is a new Kentucky prospect that may commit to the Wildcats within the next week. He was an unranked combo guard before the Wildcats offere...

May 02, 2022 08:00 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MB

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses Keion Brooks' departure into the transfer portal. It's pretty confusing, given the fact that Brooks was playing well, getting his minutes, putting up a lot of shots, and starting. Best of luck to him still. Lance also talks about the waning mutual interest between Baylor Schiereman and Kentucky. The Wildcats reached out to him early, and it looks like Schiereman wants to take his talents elsewhere so he can be more of a focal p...

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe sits down with Matt Upchurch of the Kentucky 15 podcast to discuss Oscar Tshiebwe's announcement to return to Kentucky for his senior season. The guys go over what this means for the program on the surface. Not a lot of National Player of the Year award winners return to college.
