Julian Phillips
- Thread starter cornbreadnmilk
- Start date
Will Bradshaw approve this?
Seriously though looking at his stats he isn't anything special for the 24 mins he got last year and he may nit get 24 mins a game here next year.

I bet none of those teams have a 7 man roster but we will still miss.
Hey I would even take half pint at this point.
Come on, it was 23.9%. We don’t roll them up when it’s this close to 0. This guy would come here and chuck up 3’s, but would increase his % up to 26-27% by years end, he is a Must get commitment.
Julian Phillips is projected around 30th. Unbelievable we are trending better for him than CL who isn't on any mock drafts.
Did we even reach out to DaRon Holmes II? He's currently trending around 40th so there's a slight chance he returns to college under the right circumstance.
Bottom line, UK needs to stop fighting the current and fully embrace NIL. We are falling behind and look incompetent not exhausting resources to have NIL reach its highest potential at KY.
It seems as if the program is waiting for regulations to pass so they can say they've always operated under similar guidelines.

Maybe Cal invited him to a live watch party for the Munsters?
Well I just heard news that means he's out.He said UK was his dream school growing up.
This guy actually has a lot of talent and could have a breakout year.
Andrew Slater said he thinks he stays in the draft.We aren't getting anyone are we?
Don’t Orlando and Chin do the recruiting? Or do you think Cal does it all?
Even if we get him we can't be sure he would be allowed to play since it would be his second transfer.
I agree he does have talent. His shooting numbers don’t give me much hope on that front but nobody shoots well anymore so bring it! Maybe he will magically turn better lol.
I remember him on the HS All-Star circuit and thinking he looked like a stud. Perhaps he was just in a bad spot at UT? Environment/culture matter. Locker room could have sucked w/ that squad of jokers.
I would take him. He’s a talented kid. And if he is one of the best five (and I think he would be), he would start.
I think right now, Wagner, Edwards, and Bradshaw are locks to start. I am not putting Dillingham in that category yet. I think it will depend on need. If we are better with Wagner running the show, Cal might elect to go with two big wings to go with him. In that case, Phillips could start opposite Edwards on the wing.
Cal has had a lot of success playing a PG and two wings (Knight/Lamb/Miller, Teague/Lamb/MKG, Harrison/Harrison/Young, Harrison/Harrison/Lyles), so it’s not unprecedented.
Of course, those recruiting against us will continue to tell these portal guys that UK’s Freshmen will all start and that they have no shot at starting. Heck, they probably tell them to come to this board and see what UK fans say, since we are supposedly the “most knowledgeable fans in college bball.”

They aren't wrong.4 freshmen have been promised starter roles.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Has Cal said this or is it speculation?
I really don’t know.
Cal may be desperate enough to make promises. After the last three seasons, he probably had to promise spots to get kids to come play for him.
I don’t know.
Until I hear proof that Cal has promised spots, it is just speculation.
I'm sure Livingston just started at the 3 all season just because he was so good at it.
Cal is going to play his freshman, always has ,always will. We are not getting anybody good in the portal. Why would you come here to take a secondary role if you were good enough to start elsewhere.
Good point.
But Livingston proved worthy of that spot at the end of the season.
He was clearly the third best player on the court in the last game of the season. Third in scoring, third in rebounding that game. He was the best defender at the 3 spot all year long.
Meanwhile his main competition for a starting spot on the wing, Fredrick and Reeves, did nothing.
Was he promised a starting spot or did Cal just see his potential and stubbornly stuck with him, because he believed Livingston was our best option at the 3?
I really don’t know.
Just speculating.
