KSR's Jack Pilgrim is joined by Shawn Smith of Go Big Blue Country for episode 105 of the Sources Say Podcast to discuss the latest with five-star center Jalen Duren and Gov. Andy Beshear issuing an executive order on name, image and likeness in the state of Kentucky. What does it all mean?

Among the highlights:

  • Student-athletes in Kentucky can now make money from their name, image and likeness (as they should)
  • Why NIL rules will be huge for UK Athletics, specifically with the basketball program
  • UK has been prepared for this moment
  • Kentucky now has the best pitch for No. 1 overall prospect Jalen Duren
  • Where do things stand with Duren?
  • Breaking down UK's roster and the loaded frontcourt (and why it doesn't matter with Duren)
  • Could NIL signal a return for Davion Mintz?
  • What would happen if Mintz returns and Duren commits?
  • Kentucky's title chances with one, both or neither
  • Mitch Barnhart needs to embrace and highlight importance of NIL, not show indifference
