KSR’s Jack Pilgrim is joined by Shawn Smith of Go Big Blue Country for episode 81 of the Sources Say Podcast to break down Kentucky’s loss at Missouri, the team’s 5-11 start to the season, postseason hopes vanishing and potential long-term issues within the program, among other topics.
The Sources Say crew starts the show by discussing the team’s current issues and why it may be best to start looking ahead to 2021-22:
- The team’s struggles are exhausting
- Are there any bright spots right now?
- Point guard play must improve, and it doesn’t appear there’s an easy answer
- John Calipari has been a PR nightmare this year
- This year’s on- and off-court struggles could make an impact on next year’s team (and for that reason, Calipari needs to be careful)
They close out the show by discussing roster management and recruiting:
- Where does the optimism come for in 2021-22?
