THE 68 field Crew moved to Lexington on Tuesday, broadcasting almost two hours of cover live from the male Kentucky basketball training. The National Podcast Network spoke with the players and the head coach Mark Pope, giving fans a rare look behind the Wildcats a few weeks before the season.
One of the biggest themes of the afternoon was the difference in the program in two years under Pope. Goalkeeper Collin Chandler noted the most fluid transition from last season, saying that the team and staff are “locked up” without the distractions of an almost entirely new list and coach staff. Chandler also drew attention to his story to Kam Williams, who would have hit 10 three times in Monday training.

The depth was a subject of constant discussion throughout the show, with several players suggesting that Kentucky could go to 13 deep, even mentioning having to make a peloton.
The injury updates were also part of the conversation. The player of the year of the dry pre-season, Otega Oweh, confirmed that he had been sidelined with Turf Toe but plans to return in two weeks. The first year striker Jayden Quaintance progresses in his recovery after a knee operation, the pope stressing patience despite the 17 -year -old exceeding the rehabilitation marks.
