UK basketball recruit Travis Perry is sticking with the Wildcats and new coach Mark Pope

Quick Glance: Travis Perry Commits to Kentucky Wildcats Under Coach Mark Pope

Travis Perry confirms his decision to play at Kentucky Wildcats despite coaching changes.

Perry, a 6-foot-2 in-state guard, is likely to be the only member of the 2024 recruiting class to stay.

Perry, a four-star recruit, is expected to thrive in Pope's five-out offense.

Perry becomes the third confirmed player in Pope's first roster for the 2024-2025 season.

Mark Pope’s debut was something else. ‘It felt like the best days of Kentucky basketball.’

Quick Glance: Enthusiastic Kentucky Fans Welcome Mark Pope as New Wildcats Coach at Rupp Arena

Mark Pope's debut game as Kentucky's coach is still over six months away. However, the manner in which fans packed Rupp Arena for his unveiling as UK's new men's basketball coach would surprise those unfamiliar with the sport's calendar, considering the 2024-25 season doesn't commence until November.

Rupp Arena accommodates 20,500 spectators. The lower section of the venue features 10,000 theater-style seats, all of which were occupied. The upper section, with an additional 10,500 seats, took longer to fill, but by the time Pope was formally introduced at 4:54 p.m. on Sunday, not a single seat was vacant.

All of this to greet back a beloved figure.

"We witness these introductory press conferences frequently," Pope remarked. "No individual worldwide has ever witnessed a spectacle like this."

Quick Glance: Giuliani, 17 Others Indicted in Arizona for Fake Elector Scheme; Trump Named Co-Conspirator

Rudy Giuliani, a former lawyer for Donald Trump, is among 18 individuals indicted in Arizona for allegedly illegally attempting to claim the state's 2020 electoral votes for the former US president, with Trump identified as an unindicted co-conspirator.

The indictment in Maricopa County Superior Court lists 11 defendants and redacts the names of seven others. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes stated that these names would be disclosed after serving all defendants with the indictment.

The indictment alleges that the defendants pressured state officials to change election results, including fraud, forgery, and conspiracy, carrying potential sentences ranging from six months to over 12 years upon conviction.

Several individuals posing as electors for Trump have been charged in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada. The fake elector scheme is also a focal point in the federal case against Trump led by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
