I ran across this just now, although apparently Evan Settle died over a week ago.
This is what was in the Lexington Herald-Leader.
SHELBYVILLE - Evan F. Settle Jr., 93, died Mon, June 12, 2006 at the Jewish Hospital in Shelbyville. He was a former player of Adolph Rupp's first team at University of Kentucky and while at UK lettered in basketball, baseball, football and golf. He was a former golf pro at Shelbyville Country Club. He taught algebra and physics as well as coached basketball, baseball and golf at Shelbyville High School for 28 years retiring in 1973. He served in the Air Force for five years retiring as major. He was inducted into the KY High School Basketball Hall of Fame in 2004. He is survived by his wife, Eloise Maddox Settle; sons, Evan Evans (Sue Bradbury) Settle IV, Jess Maddox (Betty Walters) Settle, grandsons, Evan Evans Settle V, Bailey Walters Settle, Jay Arvin Settle, granddaughter, Kathryn Maddox Settle, and great grandchildren, Cade and Maddox Settle. Visitation will be 3-8 p.m., Wed at the Shannon Funeral Home. There will be a private family burial. Expressions of sympathy may be made to the Clear Creek Family Activity Center, 717 Burks Branch Road, Shelbyville, KY; or UK Basketball Museum, P.O. Box 89, Lexington, KY 40588.

After Basil Hayden died, I believe Evan Settle became the oldest living Wildcat. Here's his web page for his career at UK.

I believe the oldest Wildcat is probably now Garland Lewis, who lives in California.
