Kentucky ranked among top 25 in the preseason AP Poll
The College Basketball season is almost here, and that means it’s time for the preseason rankings. Kentucky fans got their first taste of this year’s team, and now know if where the Wildcats will begin the season among the top 25. On Monday, the Associated Press released their preseason top 25, and Kentucky is No. 23 in the country.
That’s where the Wildcats will be at when the season begins, and there will be plenty of room to climb throughout the season. As far as conference foes go, there are a handful of teams who will start the season rannked ahead of them. Alabama ranks No. 2 in the country, followed by Auburn (No. 11), Tennessee (No. 12), Texas A&M (No. 13), Arkansas (No. 16), and Florida (No. 21), with Ole Miss right behind the Wildcats at 24th in the nation. The conference is going to be as loaded this season as it has been in a long time.
Outside of the Wildcats tough conference schedule, they will also have some intriguing out-of-conference matchups. The first big test of the season will be against Duke in the Champions Classic on Nov. 12. Then, they’ll hit the road at Clemson, facing the Tigers in the ACC/SEC Challenge on Dec. 3. It doesn’t get any easier, as they’ll be taking on Gonzaga (Dec. 7), who will begin the season at No. 6 overall just outside the top 5. The Wildcats will also be taking on former Wildcat Aaron Bradshaw and Ohio State in the CBS Sports Classic on Dec. 21.
Kentucky will have a tough schedule this season, but you’ve got to think that the experience will help with that, especially with the early-season tests. The Mark Pope era will officially begin real soon.
Beechwood senior wide receiver Tyler Fryman has committed to University of Kentucky football and baseball according to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals.
Fryman made the change to the Wildcats on June 26, just three days after announcing he was decommitting from Louisville Cardinals baseball. Fryman had been committed to Louisville since 2023.
The four-star recruit took an official visit to Kentucky on June 19. A week later, he’s flipped his school and added a new sport.
For Beechwood last season, Fryman caught 62 passes for 1,320 yards and 23 touchdowns. He was also the 9th Region Player of the Year in baseball and an indoor track state champion.
Fryman also had football offers from Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Ole Miss among others.
GRAYSON, Ky. (WSAZ) – New information has been released in the search for a missing woman at Grayson Lake.
According to game wardens with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, Marly Kinney, 19, of Ashland, was last seen at Grayson Lake on Wednesday afternoon.
They say search efforts are focused on the water at this time and include Kentucky State Police aerial support, drones, boats, and K9 assistance.
Crews suspend search for missing teen for the night
The search is now into its third day, with officials saying on and off rain has hindered their search and that a group of 50 volunteers are walking the banks of the lake to help in the search.
Search and rescue boats have been seen at the lake as well.
Officials say there are still many questions, including if Kinney is still alive and where exactly she went missing.
They also say they’ve been using a variety of equipment, including sonar and thermal detectors, as well as helicopters and underwater drones.
WSAZ received a statement from Kinney’s family Friday afternoon:
“We are very appreciative of the absolute surplus of support from law enforcement, search and rescue, 1st responders, and all of the community and its volunteers that are here with us and for us searching for Marly. We do not even know how to express our absolute gratitude to you all. We continue to have faith she will be found and brought back to us. We know we have the very best people doing all they can to bring her home.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
We are still working to get more information.
