## Resource

Mark Pope’s first post-season presser reveals a charged, forward-looking vibe as he previews Kentucky’s 2026-27 campaign, gushing over a fun, talented new roster and their grueling summer conditioning—where jerseys were earned, not handed out. With a potential 15th player on the horizon and a push for expanded international trips, Pope’s building a culture rooted in grit and growth. Meanwhile, Oscar Tshiebwe’s rumored move to the Rockets adds intrigue to the offseason buzz. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
