Kentucky Basketball makes the cut for Tay Kinney
The recruitment of Bluegrass product Tay Kinney has reached its next step, as the 5-star point guard has trimmed his list down to 12 schools, according to Joe Tipton. To no surprise, the Kentucky Wildcats made the cut for the Louisville native. Other schools still on his list include the Louisville Cardinals, Arkansas Razorbacks, Texas Longhorns, Kansas Jayhawks, Tennessee Volunteers, and Auburn Tigers, among others. The 6-foot-1 Kinney, now playing for Overtime Elite, has already taken official visits to Kentucky, Louisville, and Purdue. He's planning to take trips to Arkansas, Texas, Oregon, Indiana, and Kansas in the coming weeks. In the class of 2026, Kinney is ranked 23rd overall by Rivals, 11th by 247 Sports, and 17th by ESPN. The recent buzz in this recruitment has been that Louisville leads, Arkansas is making a strong push, and Kentucky is falling behind. Will Mark Pope be able to change that before it's too late? Kinney is planning to make his college announcement before his senior season begins. You want more A Sea Of Blue coverage?

Georgia Bulldogs OL arrested, faces felony charges
Georgia Bulldogs sophomore offensive lineman Jahzare Jackson was arrested on July 16 on four separate charges. Jackson was booked in Clarke County Jail at 11:50 p.m. ET and was released at 4:17 a.m. on July 17 after spending approximately 4 and 1/2 hours. Jackson faces three drug-related charges including possession of marijuana over one ounce, possession and use of drug-related objects, and possession of marijuana less than one ounce. Jackson was released from Clarke County Jail after posting a bond of $5,030. The vast majority of Jackson's bond ($5,000) is due to possession of marijuana over one ounce, which is a felony. Jackson was initially pulled over in his 2017 Tesla for holding a cell phone while driving (a misdemeanor in Georgia). The 6-foot-10, 350-pound offensive lineman is known for playing three years of basketball with Overtime Elite before coming to Georgia. He appeared in all 14 games last season for Georgia in primarily a special teams role. Jackson was named to the SEC's first-year academic honor roll. The University of Georgia did not comment following Jackson's arrest. Jackson's arrest came the night after coach Kirby Smart addressed the media at the 2025 SEC media days event. Jackson will likely face a suspension and possibly more consequences as his future with the team is murkier now. Follow UGAWire on Instagram or Threads!
