May 06, 2022 08:00 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MBOn 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.

He's still here, working incredibly h...

May 04, 2022 08:00 - 21 minutes - 20 MBOn today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses Jai Lucas' decision to leave Kentucky for Duke.
