Gillispie would give up his liver for those two 3s. We can’t start all of them. We have to take what Cal gets, for now. We’ve had several threes over the years that played solid roles for us.
Cal bringing in some shooters …2 new frosh names
- Thread starter JST390-2
- Start date
You're focusing on something I'm not saying.
Their talent level isn't an issue. They don't fix our biggest problem--which is a complete and utter lack of experience.
Sure, we do have to live with what Cal gets us. I'm just a dude on a message board saying what needs to happen.
I'm definitely concerned. We need Reed and an experienced big man. Should be able to keep Reed but I don't know what Cal is gonna do after that. We'll know this week.
Well you can thank Calipari for not having those !
Yeah I got the picture. Thanks for joining in with you’re completely unique perspective
Naw they just want more NIL and leave in the portal. I read it right here on Rafters.
Well, we currently only have seven guys locked up for next season. So that would presently make them at least 8th or 9th men purely by default.
No, we’re not supposed to be excited, but it’s June and our roster situation has put us in “beggars can’t be choosers” territory. We need to add some warm bodies just to have a functional roster at this point.
Calipari has always said he recruits from the pool of people who want to play here. He's a salesman, but he doesn't "cold call."
That should help us maintain our position as the gold standard of player turnover.

I think with the way college basketball is now, some of the in state players that are 3 stars normally, we may have to start offering them scholarships to have depth and continuity on the roster. More likely to keep a kid around that grew up loving the program and would be willing to wait their turn for playing time, even if it takes years.
Oh please, let's cut the nonsense out where we pretend like this is part of some Calipari recruiting plan instead of a desperation measure.
We're not recruiting these two because we've determined they're UK material and "want to be here", instead we're doing it only because it's June, we only have 7 guys locked up, we desperately need to add more ASAP ...and there ain't many options left.
Kentucky will host pair of 3-star high school prospects next week
New targets has emerged. Joey Hart and Jordan Burks each have a visit scheduled with Kentucky next week as John Calipari looks to fill the 2023-24 roster.www.on3.com
Is UAA an AAU team or?
Hart can pass, dribble, and shoot. Decent athleticism, always dunks with 2 hands. Great form on his shots, releases the ball high. I'll definitely take a flyer on the kid.
UK had a freshman squad under Pitino. Maybe Calipari is working to put together one of those teams. Lord knows he hasn't exactly knocked it out of the park with the primary unit.
Seriously, at this time in the process, does anyone think we will/could find players that will take us deep in the tournament
at this point. Who left in pool can makE a difference?
you guys blow...about as nice as I can pt it...find a new team
Not much left.
Best hope is to get Reeves back and maybe get Kaluma.
I’m hoping those are the vets we add. Or someone else (Grad Transfer) we don’t yet know about decides to transfer here.
You know, Cal could say "let's build a deep team that will run opponents off the floor, and still have enough minutes for everyone. We'll run an offense that's fun to watch, and gets the right people open at the right time"
Wait......
Just about every UK fan has been given the shaft since he got that useless contract. He's hard alright.
When UK is trying to get 3-stars to sign, you're looking at the end of the coach. If it's true that certain incoming signed players were making threats of leaving if certain transfers were signed, then I hope Cal sits those flakes right after the second semester has started and teaches them how important it is to have depth and how irrelevant they are in the grand scheme of things.
Hart will see playing time wherever he goes,but not having enough stars may hold him back at Ky.
