Safe to say that will be the case next year. 5 and counting already. Could be as high as 7 or 8 before the team is set.

More seniors in one year than the entire Cal tenure lol.Safe to say that will be the case next year. 5 and counting already. Could be as high as 7 or 8 before the team is set.
It looks like the record was the 1957-58 team, with 9 seniors: Vernon Hatton, Ed Beck, Earl Adkins, Billy Ray Cassady, Lincoln Collinsworth, John Crigler, Harold Ross, Adrian Smith and Bill Smith.Safe to say that will be the case next year. 5 and counting already.

Wow, that’s an amazing fact. I missed that one by a mile.It looks like the record was the 1957-58 team, with 9 seniors: Vernon Hatton, Ed Beck, Earl Adkins, Billy Ray Cassady, Lincoln Collinsworth, John Crigler, Harold Ross, Adrian Smith and Bill Smith.

At this rate, we'll just have to have two senior days.They should let us start 8 for senior night.
Amazing, but a rebuild will be necessary thereafter.Safe to say that will be the case next year. 5 and counting already. Could be as high as 7 or 8 before the team is set.
What are seniors? 😀More seniors in one year than the entire Cal tenure lol.
Under the previous coaching regime, most of them were those guys that sat at the end of the bench and rarely got in a game even when the CATS were up by 20 in the last few minutes of the game.What are seniors? 😀
Too late to schedule Arkansas for that game?They should let us start 8 for senior night.

I taught Vernon Hatton’s grandson. Boy did I learn about the nail in the floor commemorating his shot at Memorial!It looks like the record was the 1957-58 team, with 9 seniors: Vernon Hatton, Ed Beck, Earl Adkins, Billy Ray Cassady, Lincoln Collinsworth, John Crigler, Harold Ross, Adrian Smith and Bill Smith.

I thought Wheeler had already quit at that point.Cal had 5 just last year in 2023 - Tshiebwe, Fredrick, Toppin, Reeves, Wheeler
Reeves graduated last season I thought? Or was that his extra year? I can’t keep track anymore because Frederick and Wheeler played another year too. Wheeler didn’t even show up for his senior day. I was mainly joking though.Cal had 5 just last year in 2023 - Tshiebwe, Fredrick, Toppin, Reeves, Wheeler
I am one and love the Social Security and the discounts.What are seniors? 😀
Honestly unless rules for transferring is changed. Every team every year going forward will be in for a rebuild every season. I'll guess the average number of returnees for most teams will be 2. And I might be high with that number.Amazing, but a rebuild will be necessary thereafter.
You nailed it. I always hated that. These kids rarely got into games. When they did had to stand around for a few seconds.And then when the game was truly out of reach the coach would finally decide to send them to the scorers table with about a minute left but not call time out so it was hit or miss whether the clock would even stop to let them in. And then if by some miracle they did get onto the floor, they were instructed to not run anything but stand around and hold the ball like idiots, because "sportsmanship".
Yep!Honestly unless rules for transferring is changed. Every team every year going forward will be in for a rebuild every season. I'll guess the average number of returnees for most teams will be 2. And I might be high with that number.
Chuck is probably my all time favorite Wildcat. He gave us everything he had. I'll always remember him willing us to victory in that Ole Miss game. Delk, Mashburn and Patterson are right up there with him in my book.Man I sure miss the incredible Senior Day we used to have at UK. To this day, watching Chuck Hays crying on SD brings a tear to my own eyes.
Unfortunately, none of ours played here to get those minutes. At least they remedy that for next season. I expect them all to get some NCAA Tournament minutes. Regardless of where they got the minutes, the experience will be very important for us.Somewhat related. Bama obviously on top because of that FF run.

Oh yeah, Chuck is right up there with me as well. Dude was a rebounding machine for us, and at what, 6'6" ? , he could muscle his way to rebounds over guys who were taller than he was. But what made Chuck special was that he loved UK , he bled blue and gave 110% every time he stepped on the floor.
