The class of 2020 got thrown a curveball as they approached their final hurdle. Even though they did not get to burst through the tape at the end of the journey by walking across the stage at commencement ceremonies, it does not mitigate their accomplishments. At the University of Kentucky 76 current and former student-athletes completed their undergraduate degrees. Mark Stoops and Eli Capilouto honored those connected to the football team over Zoom Friday afternoon. KSR's graduate, Maggie Davis, has not yet received her graduation surprise. Oh wait -- I just spoiled it. Sorry Maggie! https://twitter.com/cbollinger24/status/1258911529941991425   Thousands of high school graduates across the Commonwealth missed their opportunity to walk across the stage. To salute their efforts, high school athletic facilities lit up their fields for the class of 2020. WLKY flew over the facilities like it was a high school football Friday night.

When Will DeAndre Williams Commit? 

The Evansville transfer could reveal his final destination at any given moment. After Jack Pilgrim spoke with Williams' mentor, it appears that he will most likely reveal which school he will attend on Mother's Day. That means UK could have two enormous Mother's Day decisions. Four-star Lexington wide receiver Dekel Crowdus will announce his commitment Sunday evening.

Good News on the Olivier Sarr Waiver? 

'Consistent' is not a word often used to describe the NCAA. Even so, there is one constant in almost ever transfer waiver process. If the former school cooperates, the NCAA is much more likely so approve the waiver. ESPN's Seth Greenberg said Friday he believes that Steve Forbes will work with the NCAA and the Wildcats on Sarr's behalf. “I think coach Forbes would be supportive of that,” Greenberg told Tom Leach. “Now I don’t know how the NCAA will look at it. But sometimes you just gotta do what’s right, and doing what’s right is letting this kid play.”

Should Stoops Grow a Quarantine Beard?

Larry Warford is Looking for an NFL Home 

The New Orleans Saints needed to conserve space. Larry Warford was the one that had to go. Now the three-time Pro Bowler is one of the top free agents on the market. Where will the former Wildcat land? Like most UK fans, we'd love to see him team up with a few other former Wildcats.

Little Tua is in the Transfer Portal

Tualia Tagovailoa is searching for a new home. The younger brother of Alabama's superstar quarterback played in five games for the Crimson Tide last season, just enough to burn through a redshirt season. Once big bro departed for the NFL, Taulia saw the writing on the wall: it's true freshman Bryce Young's position for the taking. A former four-star prospect as well, Taulia will be one of the most sought-after quarterbacks on the market.

This is Jeopardy

It's the UK Football version, so it's a little more fun and maybe even more challenging. Darin Hinshaw opened up the playbook to show the BBN how he tests his quarterbacks each week on Zoom. Enjoy rare access from behind the curtain. https://youtu.be/Pk0ozEiMPVo
