Jack Pilgrim and Shawn Smith talk with ESPN's Jay Bilas about last season's Kentucky basketball team and what fans should expect from the 2025-26 edition of Kentucky Wildcat basketball. It's another jampacked episode of the Sources Say Podcast presented by Club Blue and Angels Envy.

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?

Jack Pilgrim, and Spencer Smith break down what they have seen and heard from Kentucky's Summer Practices.

Also: MVP, MIP, Biggest Surprise and Biggest Question Mark from eight weeks of workouts. What is the team's best shooting lineup, best defensive lineup and best end-of-game lineup?

What’s up with Otega Oweh in a boot? Is Andrija Jelavic here yet? How about Tyran Stokes talking about going to a school that won’t duck the smoke? Sources Say is back to break it all down — plus answer fan questions from KSBoard about the latest from Kentucky basketball summer practice, which wraps up this week.
