I spent a little over an hour today listening to Oscar Combs’ interview with former UK great Cotton Nash on the Conversations With Oscar Combs podcast.
Nash was a dual-sport star at UK dominating on the basketball court and for the baseball team. He was a three-year consensus All-American for UK basketball from 1961 to 1964. He signed both NBA and MLB contracts and played both at the same time.
He spoke with Combs about how he ended up at Kentucky, playing for Adolph Rupp, his basketball and baseball careers and updates us on his former UK teammates.
