KSR Happy Hour: Kentucky Basketball's Roster, Derby Weekend, and more

Tyler-Thompsonby: Tyler Thompson04/30/26MrsTylerKSR

Is it already Thursday? Crack open a Country Boy brew and celebrate with us on a new KSR Happy Hour.

Drew Franklin returns to the show this week after taking some time away to welcome his first child, Avery Rose, into the world. He’ll join Zack Geoghegan and me to break down the latest Kentucky Basketball roster news, including Mark Pope’s efforts overseas. Will Brazilian big man Marcio Santos be the next player to join the roster? How realistic are Kentucky’s chances with Milan Momcilovic and/or Allen Graves?

The Kentucky Derby is also just a few days away, so we’ll share our thoughts on a big weekend in the Bluegrass and hear from Steven Peake, who spent part of his Thurby at Churchill Downs. Tomorrow, he’s going to Oaks with Nick Roush, an experience that may prove to be unlike any other.

We’ll also be answering your questions and reading comments from the YouTube live chat, so join us. Be sure to subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss any of our excellent content.
