Sunday Headlines: Kentucky Football and Basketball Shine

Key Highlights

• Kam Williams showed how much of an impact player he can be with 14 points and 5 rebounds.
• Malachi Moreno had a great night too with 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists. All in all, it was a feel-good win for Kentucky at a much-needed time.
• Now, the key will be keeping that momentum going with some big games coming up. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBut it wasn’t just a big night for the UK Basketball program last night. Will Stein and the UK Football program had a great day yesterday, too, with four portal commitments. Early in the day, the Cats landed a commitment from Tennessee offensive tackle Lance Heard.
• The Cats were looking pretty thin at the tackle position, and while they still need to be shopping for another tackle, landing Heard was massive. Heard was one of the top tackles in the SEC last year at Tennessee after starting his career at LSU.
• Between his time in Baton Rouge and Knoxville, Heard has 25 career starts and was named Third Team All-SEC last fall. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementKentucky also picked up a commitment from Texas transfer linebacker Elijah “Bo” Barnes.
