Before Kentucky Basketball hosts Eastern Illinois on Friday night, there’s one player in the Panthers’ starting five you’ll want to keep an eye on. His name is Meechie White, and he is one of us.
A Louisville native, White grew up a die-hard Kentucky fan, the kind who tuned in to every game, wore the gear, and dreamed of playing for the Wildcats one day. His mom even sent KSR several childhood photos of Meechie in Rupp Arena, Memorial Coliseum, the Joe Craft Center, and our own KSBar and Grille, where he got a selfie with Matt Jones.
