I imagine we lose basically everyone like we always do, whether its to draft or transfer.

NITIf you think about it, it's actually a short season. Tune in for the 1 and out SECT game and then the 1 and out NCAAT game. Cal-Ball...
who the hell died and made you some authority on this board I could care less if you think I am a UK fan and there are still plenty of us who are going to continue to support this team whether you like it or not"Lets"? It's "Let's", and you don't speak for ANY UK fans here. You yipped and just made it easier for everyone to put your clown butt on ignore. BTW, your idol John Vincent Calipari "destroyed the program".
I HOPE Z STAYS I EXPECT THAT SOME WILL BACK OUT OF THEIR COMMITTMENTSWe have 6 incoming freshman:
Boogie Fland
Travis Perry
Billy Richmond
Karter Knox
JQ
Somto
My guess on who goes vs stays:
Reed - NBA
Dilly - NBA
DJ - Stays. He has no other options really.
Edwards - NBA. Might end up in G-League
Big Z - Gone. NBA or Europe.
Ugonna - Transfers
Bradshaw - Transfers, USC?
Thiero - Stays
Burke - Transfers, encouraged to go elsewhere
Hart - Same as Burke
I’m expecting DJ & Thiero back. That leaves 4 roster spots to fill with portal players. Cal better make them all count!
Actually, because of who Reed is, and could cover JVC'S A🤑🤑 it wouldn't surprise me at all if he tries. Had an individual who said he is close to the Reed family, tell a couple of buddies and l that there’s a deal being worked up for Reed to make 8 million + next year.Let's just say that Reed wants to stay for another year will Cal try and push him out to the NBA ? I don't trust Cal and would not be surprised if he tried this.
YES. They are smart enough to know that, unless there is legitimate scoring help from the portal, the pressure on Reed will be unreasonable. It would be for anyone, but he will still just be a Sophomore. Losing Reeves, Mitchell and Dilly, even if Edwards and Wagner return, creates a huge loss of scoring and leadership. Reed will be the central focus of everybody’s defense that we play. Reed will need more help than the incoming Freshmen can provide. We simply HAVE to obtain legitimate help through portal … !!!!His parents will be the ones who help him decide.
Cal said last night he would NOT force anyone to leave (and never has, cough, liar...Cousins). Now I could see him wanting Reed back but let's be clear, it won't be for Reed. It will be for Cal. Trying to save his job. Of course, will he start him seeing that he has another 5* in Boogie coming in. Now this will be difficult for Cal because if Wagner comes back, which commitment will Cal stick with? Wagner or Boogie? The commitment to Wagner and his family or his new commitment to Boogie. Tough choices for Cal to make but to be certain, whatever choice Cal makes it will be for HIM.Let's just say that Reed wants to stay for another year will Cal try and push him out to the NBA ? I don't trust Cal and would not be surprised if he tried this.
I don’t really care at this point. But I disagree on Shepard. I think his stock dropped. No way in hell is he a lottery pick. Now he might still go. Actually I can see a scenario where he transfers. I just don’t think his NBA stick is nearly what we have been led to believeWe have 6 incoming freshman:
Boogie Fland

This is exactly right in my opinion. I don’t even see him getting drafted this year. But if he wants to go I wouldn’t blame him at allI don’t really care at this point. But I disagree on Shepard.

He will get sound advice from his parents. I think he returns. Seems to enjoy being around family and friends more than seeking nba. Ccc better he returns to increase fan support. Sad thing is Reed won't play for a coach that can help him improve.His parents will be the ones who help him decide.
He would 100% get drafted this year. I would love to see him stay at UK though.This is exactly right in my opinion. I don’t even see him getting drafted this year. But if he wants to go I wouldn’t blame him at all
Program already destroyed. Where you been?yeah lets destroy the program because you are butt-hurt
You may very well be right. I just can’t see itHe would 100% get drafted this year. I would love to see him stay at UK though.
Post of the year so farCal will push players out like he always does. Doesn’t want competition for his newest darlings he’s made promises to.
ESPECIALLY after Cal came out and admitted that he started or played guys (his favorites) he shouldn't have in order to protect their feelings, at the expense of the team's tournament success? A parent can not in good conscious tell their kid to come back and play for Cal.Nobody is coming back. Who the hell would want to play for that maniac and lose all the important tournament games, AGAIN!?
We can only hope. He can go miss layups at the next level.I think DJ will leave. He’s been anointed NBA since he was a child. G-League maybe but gut feel says not here.
We'll be lucky if they're from Butthole State. They might be from Eastern Upper Butthole State.I expect all gone, either to the draft or transfer route. Our next team will be a bunch of athletic but poor basketball players in the freshmen class mixed with mid-major leftovers from Butthole State and That's a University? University.
As long as they poop ice creamWe'll be lucky if they're from Butthole State. They might be from Eastern Upper Butthole State.
It would be very Cal like to have his penultimate season be the NIT lol. That would actually be funny.
The same people celebrating Cal coming back and you people know who you are, are the same people that kept saying Wagner was better than Sheppard.Currently, Reed is projected as 3rd pick to the Spurs. Wagner isn’t even on the board 1st or 2nd round.
Uk fans be like… Wagner is gone, but Reed comes back cause he’s just not ready lol.
And while sure that could happen, but you just gotta love UK fans who think with their hearts more than their heads.
Agree no one past his patents will influence him one way or the other.His parents will be the ones who help him decide.
i bet a guaranteed multi million nba contract will go a long way in taking the sting off not being around family and friendsHe will get sound advice from his parents. I think he returns. Seems to enjoy being around family and friends more than seeking nba. Ccc better he returns to increase fan support. Sad thing is Reed won't play for a coach that can help him improve.
So you’re more concerned with seeing Mitch and cal squirm than you are seeing your team win?I hope every one of them, including Reed, says they're not coming back. Mitch and Cal deserve this.
No. I'm more concerned about the future of this basketball program, and bringing back guys who will help the team win but who WILL NOT WIN A TITLE under Calipari, is just a bandaid to conceal what's really going on. The only way to fix this is to completely tear it down. The basketball program at UK is what's broken. Give Cal a hug, but not for me.So you’re more concerned with seeing Mitch and cal squirm than you are seeing your team win?
Evaluate everything. You’re broken.
