Entering the portal - 2026

Big Blue Nation (BBN) is the passionate, widespread fanbase for University of Kentucky (UK) athletics, particularly men's basketball, women's basketball, and football. Known for intense loyalty, BBN supports teams that frequently contend in the SEC, with recent news focusing on basketball roster changes under coach Mark Pope and spring football updates
Wait they play football? 🤣

Dare I say this crap is ridiculous?
Crap is too mild a word. The transfer rule is the big culprit, coupled with NIL makes “college” sports a disgusting joke. Why not just make it what it already is, a world apart from the universities. Let them just sponsor teams, sign players to a contract, and be minor leagues for the pros. In the unlikely event a player wants to apply to the school to get a degree, they can apply like any other kid. I am enjoying college sports less and less. As Seinfeld puts it, we root for laundry. That’s what has happened to D1 sports.
 
It's one thing to sulk regarding playing time and play half-hearted towards the end of the season, but come tournament time (where everything is on display) he was just a body to absorb fouls.

Any decent coach recruiting Reibe as a portal addition would weigh how he still looked listless in the biggest stage of CBB.
Any decent coach also looks at the total package and may see something that you and I don’t- why? Because I am assuming that you are not a decent High level D1 coach and I know I am not. Perhaps Pope sees something he can get out of Eric and can work on his apparent issue of allowing his attitude screw with his ability to give 100%. Not at all sure it will work out but someone will take a chance at a 7 footer who showed glimpses of success against some high national teams earlier this season.
