Sources Say has some crow to eat, and they’re bringing in a heavy-hitter to prepare some of it in the form of Michael Moreno — former Eastern Kentucky basketball star and brother of current Wildcat, Malachi Moreno. Where did things go wrong to start the season and how did this team climb out of rock bottom to pull off back-to-back wins vs. Indiana and St. John’s before Christmas? There is still work to do, obviously, but just how many of the problems are fixed? Is it simply an identity shift? Or the availability of both Jaland Lowe and Jayden Quaintance?

The first big move was at the top. Now the man at the top has some big moves to make. Will Stein is in the process of assembling his first coaching staff at Kentucky. There are vital roles that must be filled. Who is going to join Stein at Kentucky? 11 Personnel is here to share what we’re hearing. While most of BBN’s attention is on KSBoard to see who could be the next to join the fold, that’s only a small fraction of what’s unfolding. The latest coming to a new edition of 11 Personnel… — Joe Sloan shows recruiting chops with Kenny Darby commitment — Kentucky appears to be in a bidding war with Texas for an assistant coach — Landing spots for former Kentucky coaches — A lot of potential Louisiana flavor on this staff, and why it could work — Notre Dame’s embarrassing CFP behavior

Adam Luckett and I have spoken together on the KSR YouTube Channel numerous times over the last week, and yet we have not technically created a new 11 Personnel. So much has happened in such a short amount of time to this Kentucky football program. We’re going to turn back the page and revisit a wild week that was. A terrible loss leads to Stoops’ demise Mitch wastes no time to hire Will Stein National Signing Day What’s next for the new Kentucky head football coach?

KSR's Tyler Thompson, Drew Franklin, and Jack Pilgrim join you for a Black Friday edition of KSR Happy Hour!

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving, Big Blue Nation! Kentucky is coming off back-to-back wins over Loyola (Md.) and Tennessee Tech — impressive efforts for the Wildcats leading to massive blowouts — but all eyes are on the week ahead with a pair of ranked opportunities waiting after a disappointing start to the year in such matchups at Louisville and in the Champions Classic vs. Michigan State. What went well for the Cats against the Greyhounds and Golden Eagles? Is any of it sustainable, especially with the new-look starting lineup featuring Kam Williams and Malachi Moreno? Will Otega Oweh be able to step up on the big stage for the first time this season? How do you shut down former UK target Caleb Wilson?
