Rob Dillingham showed off his impressive hops at one of the Kentucky basketball summer camps for kids. Mark Combs, a father of one of the camp’s attendees, captured one of several explosive dunks Dillingham threw down on Friday and posted it on his Instagram account.

To be fair, the only competition on the court was shorter 5 feet tall and under the age of 12, but it was impressive nonetheless, especially considering he is only listed at 6’1″ himself.

Not to be outdone, Adou Thiero showed off his 46-inch vertical with a LeBron-like chase-down block on a poor, unfortunate, and unsuspecting camper. That will teach him to bring that weak sauce when Thiero is on the court. I expect this is not the first time we will see this from Adou this year. As every Little League coach’s favorite saying goes, you can’t teach hustle.

Aaron Bradshaw attended his high school graduation ceremony on Friday, so there is no footage of him at this particular camp (just of him wearing his gown and hugging his family), but one KSR caller earlier in the week commented about how awesome he was with the kids at the camp he did attend.

DJ Wagner was also seen snapping photos with the youngsters.

Sure, the roster is still in serious flux and Matt Jones paints a fairly grim picture when it comes to the culture of the program at large, but that does not take away the fact Kentucky has some dynamic athletes and big personalities on this team.

Regardless of the outcome on the court, it is going to be a wild, and hopefully fun ride. This is the type of off-season content I’m here to see. There’s nothing like summer workout footage to get everyone hyped up about next season.
