Jelly Roll🙃

This guy is one of my favorites. He sings from the heart as he tells his life story. I hope his career continues to blossom and that he remains humble.
Beats air-balls in the lay-up line by Drake!
Not a big fan of modern country music but Jelly Roll is better than most.
I must be out of the loop. Had never heard of this guy until this post.
Everything he touches lately turns to gold! Just sayin….
He was the first true jazz composer
Not sure the point trying to be made. This isn’t a “we use to get drake and now we get jelly roll” type comparison. It isn’t just trying to be the “it” school. Jelly Roll has a very interesting background and redemption story. He also does a lot of work with helping people turn their lives around now. No doubt he was there to talk about life, redemption, his struggle with addiction and beating it, etc.
This is less about the celebrity and more about the message/big picture

Man are you serious?Exactly. This is a dude that made a HUGE turnaround from being a user/dealer to testifying before Congress in the anti-fentanyl legislation in hopes of being part of the solution rather than the problem. The guy is living proof that people can change for the better.
I’ve got as good a sense of humor as anybody, and I’m fine even making light hearted jokes about his weight or whatever. But anybody who thinks his talking to the team is a BAD thing is just a clueless idiot.
A friend of mine who is a musician got the chance to open for one of his shows. Said he's the nicest person he'd ever met. Always cool to hear about nice celebrities.
He's everywhere and definitely a big star now. Seen him show up to WWE a few times already in recent years. Now coming to the Craft Center.
Guess Jelly Roll is ok but he supposed to be new country, guess I more about George Strait or Alan Jackson.
Yes, he is a huge basketball fan. he even played on the court at the Spectrum Center, home of the Hornets. He is from Nashville, so very possible he and his dad traveled to Lexington to watch games v/s UT. He had a concert in Rupp last night, where ever he is having a concert, he tries to get some time in on the court. Probably will be video of him playing in Rupp. I believe him, no reason to lie about it.
Not hard to believe, but it has nothing to do with Jelly Roll. You are eat up with Cal, just read your post, no matter the topic, you always end up with a Cal comment.
I just happened to watch a Youtube interview with Vanilla Ice a few days ago. I don't know how good he is at rapping but he is great at talking, a true storyteller.
Jelly Roll said he was able to see the 1996 team play as a kid. Also said UK is one of the greatest programs in history. The man gets to speak to the them based on that criteria alone.
As far as the radio country folls go. Jellyroll is one of best with Cody Johnson - I liked Combs till he abandoned his outlaw roots totally. Stspleton is a level on his own noone csn touch his tslent but imo he's more rock and maybe blues thsn country.
Too bad Tyler, Jamey and Cody Jinks do t get more play they are better than any of em.

Not a big fan of his music, but from all indications he’s a great guy who’s gone through hell and back with addiction and lived to speak out to help others with the battle. Always welcome, imo.
He has an off day before a show in Evansville, think he’ll be the Y at the game?

I hate country in general but this new breed is quite possibly the absolute worst thing I've ever heard, save for maybe mumble rap. But it's close.
Not sure how many Jelly Roll fans we have on the team but, I'm fine with it and hopefully he won't be the last "celebrity" we have stop by. I trust Pope and staff to make the decisions on stuff like this. GO CATS!
He put on one helluva concert in Rupp Friday. I’m a fan of 90’s music my self but my wife really likes him and I really enjoyed the concert!
George Straight is 72 years old.
Jelly Roll is probably a better choice to speak to the players in 2024.
