On Episode 9 of Conversations with Chris and Cameron, we’re joined by KSR’s own Zack Geoghegan, who gives us an inside look at Kentucky basketball recruiting and some football insight as well. Zack breaks down why Deron Rippey Jr. and Tyran Stokes are two of Kentucky’s top 2026 targets, what makes each one special, and how Mark Pope’s coast-to-coast presence this summer is making an impact on prospects and families alike. We also dive into Bruce Branch, Anthony Thompson, and Cam Williams as rising names to know. Shifting to football, Zack shares why he believes this season is personal for Mark Stoops. After some recent adversity and roster turnover, Stoops looks more focused and motivated than ever to prove Kentucky can still win and win soon.
