BREAKING: Mark Pope and Kentucky Wildcats HAVE to Contact Tounde Yessoufou Before It's TOO LATE Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

The Kentucky Wildcats need to give Baylor Bears transfer Tounde Yessoufou a call before anybody else can steal him.

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe explains why Kentucky basketball needs to go after Baylor basketball transfer Tounde Yessoufou. If Mark Pope can't land Tyran Stokes, Yessoufou is the second-best option at the same position. Also, Braydon Hawthorne is back - and he's bringing his little brother with him. And governor Andy Beshear is not happy with how the University of Kentucky is handling Mitch Barnhart's retirement.

With Jared Curtis lighting up Vanderbilt’s practices and John Mateer’s health a key storyline at Oklahoma, the crew spotlights emerging talent, coaching pressure on Elko at Texas A&M, and Kentucky’s new-look offense. Who will rise—and who will falter—in the race to define the next SEC power?

SEC SQUAD - Is the SEC Dynasty OVER? How this could impact Kentucky Apr 09, 2026

Show notes

SEC dynasty declared dead—has the Big Ten truly taken over college sports? Hosts break down the swirling narratives after Michigan claims the men’s basketball crown, Indiana shocks the football world, and UCLA dominates women’s hoops. Bold claims about SEC irrelevance meet real talk as insights from Ole Miss, Missouri, Auburn, and more weigh team pride against conference supremacy. Are roster construction and elite coaching changing the balance of power, or are claims of Big Ten dominance premature with SEC football depth on the line? The conversation heats up over NIL reforms, transfer portal restrictions, and the challenges faced by programs like Alabama under Kalen DeBoer. Key players including Sam Leavitt, Austin Simmons, and Trinidad Chambliss take center stage as the squad forecasts breakout quarterbacks and debate which SEC teams could surprise—or sink—this season. How will proposed NCAA rules reshape the recruiting landscape? Can traditional SEC powerhouses adapt or is a new era unfolding in college football?
