Summer is over and the Wildcats are heading back to campus for the real stuff. Kentucky‘s fall semester starts on August 25 with players trickling in this week — including none other than Andrija Jelavić, who finally arrived this past weekend. Jayden Quaintance is back, too, and he’s ramping up his on-court work ahead of his debut in Lexington.

What can we expect out of Jelavić and Quaintance in 2025-26? How does that impact everything else we know about the team coming out of eight weeks of summer workouts?

Also, John Wall has retired from basketball. Can you believe that? Coach Cal’s first rockstar has hung up the sneakers, so we’ll take a trip down memory lane there, too, along with sharing all of Mark Pope’s updates from his latest 70-minute podcast appearance. Why wouldn’t we talk about a podcast on a podcast?
