Despite injury, Jordan Obi pays very close attention to Kentucky WBB practices
Just over a week ago, Big Blue Nation found out that one of Kentucky WBB’s newest additions, Jordan Obi, was out indefinitely due to injury. While the specific injury wasn’t disclosed, it involves the lower leg, and Obi started rehab recently. Along with Obi, Dominika Paurová also sustained a lower leg injury in the offseason.
Not the start we wanted for the ‘Cats, but luckily, Obi has been paying very close attention to her team’s practices.
“Honestly, it’s been really cool watching everyone come together. Obviously everyone’s new to each other… but just being here and getting to learn,” Obi said on media day.
“I’ve never been injured,” she added. “This is uncharted territory for me. I think it’ll give me the ability to grow in mental fortitude. Obviously seeing the game from a different perspective, like the X’s and O’s part of it. I’ve always been in it, so now watching it is just different. I think I’ll be better for it.”
Obi transferred from Penn this past summer, using her fifth year of eligibility to compete for the ‘Cats. While Obi would be eligible for a medical redshirt, it doesn’t sound like that’s even a possibility in her mind. Obi said her recovery is still “up in the air.” She’s taking it day by day, but she’d love to get back on the court as soon as possible.
“I came here to be coached by Coach Brooks,” Obi said. “Being coached by him is an experience that is unlike… I came from the Ivy League, so it’s just super different.”
“The conditioning part is a notable jump, just the details, the little details. Buy yeah, again getting to play with the best, getting to be coached with the best. Being in the SEC, it’s super cool and not something that I really would’ve expected for my career. I’m super happy to be here.”
Here’s hoping the 2023-24 All-Ivy First Teamer makes it back to the hardwood sooner rather than later.

A wide receiver from Belle Glade, Florida, Gilmore totaled 28 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown for the Wildcats during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has had a very interesting offseason as he entered the portal, flipped a commitment, and is now back in Lexington.
After the 2025 season, Gilmore committed to Louisville when he entered the transfer portal, then flipped his commitment to Baylor, and ultimately signed with the Bears. To end Gilmore’s portal saga, he’s now back in a familiar place with the Wildcats.
When the 2026 season begins, Gilmore will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Gilmore had a solid sophomore campaign with the Wildcats, appearing in all 12 games. His best game of the season came in the late-season loss against Vanderbilt. He tallied six catches for 55 yards in the game.
With Kentucky losing most of its wide receiver production from last season, this is a significant pickup, and it won’t be surprising if Gilmore is back in the starting lineup this fall.
As for the Aggies, the only name on the report is Mackenzie Mgbako, a one-time Kentucky target who remains out for the season after undergoing foot surgery. Texas A&M head coach Bucky McMilan said today that Mgbako will return next season, which would be a big boost for the Aggies before the offseason begins.
Kentucky vs. Texas A&M Injury Report
COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) – The Licking River Bridge was demolished Monday morning in a controlled blast, clearing the way for a replacement structure.
Authorities established a 1,000-foot safety perimeter, closed nearby roads and asked residents to shelter in place before the demolition. The bridge collapsed within seconds of the blast.
“Today we say goodbye to a bridge that has served Kentuckians for nearly a century and we make room for something new. A signature bridge that is safer, stronger and we make room for something new,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “This region, like the rest of the commonwealth, is evolving, it is booming, it’s economy growing every day. What we’re doing together is building our new Kentucky home.”

Crews will begin construction on the new bridge after debris removal is complete. The replacement bridge is expected to open in the summer of 2028.
