John Calipari isn’t tempering NBA expectations for his former Kentucky product. During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Calipari compared Rob Dillingham to an NBA legend. “I was on the phone with three different clubs today about Robert,” Calipari said. “[They said to me], ‘We know he can score, how can he defend?’ Here’s what I would say: I know he’ll fight because he and I almost got in a couple of fights, so I know he will fight. And if you’re willing to fight — yeah, you’ve got to gain 15-20 more pounds so you can hold your own, but he’ll slap and punch and bite. “He’s a competitor,...

Hell has frozen over. Rick Pitino is an ally of KSR and UK Athletics, specifically the Kentucky men’s basketball program. All we needed was Pardon My Take and Mark Pope to make it happen. It’s been a wild day here at Kentucky Sports Radio HQ, to say the least. The bridges previously burnt beyond repair during Pitino’s days at Louisville have somehow been built anew, all forgiven with the St. John’s head coach ready to support the place he calls Camelot in this new era for the Wildcats. Pitino understands vitriol at LouisvilleFor starters, he understands why fans were so upset with him taking t...

John Calipari wants Anthony Davis to receive the attention he deserves. In a conversation with Jim Rome, the newly-hired Arkansas head coach raved about his former player’s NBA career and his hopes for Davis’ future. “Forget about all the talking heads and all the other stuff. You talk about the players.
