Chances Improving For Reeves Return?

[kyjeff1]

No more good guards would come here if Reeves returns.That makes 4 and maybe Joey Hart the fifth but that's it.

Well, Cal is supposed to be an ace recruiter. He needs to.find snother shooter. The two 4* kids aren't going to be much help.
But, I will say this, if Thiero has a good summer, maybe he can be that missing piece. I hope he is, I'm definitely a fan, I think he is going to be legit some day.

 

[Untouchables22]

Mannn imagine if he would’ve done this earlier in the portal

Embarrassment at striking out on every…..single…..portal option is the best motivation to get change. But you’re correct it’s a shame that’s what it took to see the reality of 2023 college athletics.

I don't agree with that.I think Reed will be ready to help some.

Reed is going to have to chisel the glue off his ass if he is to get playing time this year.

I would bet a dollar to a doughnut that Cal puts Reeves in his cigar box. He does it with certain players every year.

Cal has pre concieved pets every year and the rest sit until it's wayyy past due to make a change.

 

[270to615]

Reeves and Somto?

Or maybe someone else?

Wouldn’t hate if they threw a few bucks Jordan Brown’s way

Certainly needed and probably the reason we are hearing Reeves could return. (Duh).

 

[Tampa_cat54]

Pilgrim actually posted the same thing first.

I'm aware, considering I am the one who started this thread on the topic 6 pages ago based on Jack Pilgrim.

But the latest push on social media is coming from the info on HOB, and that is what they were being vague about.

 

[track42]

So who would you guys rather get at center:Jordan Brown or Somto Cyril?

I would prefer Brown but if Cyril is ready to commit I am fine with him.

In a perfect scenario brown for this year somto for 2024 but that’s not how things usually work out

Someone explain this “modern game” that looks the same as 30 years ago.

When the Cal hate cult uses it they did point to Musselman. But then his offense looks just like ours so it wasn’t modern overnight.

Then the CHC points to Pitino. But he’s now playing the same zone as Syracuse has for 40 years. Real modern there.

Couple dozen CHC numbers posting the same things to each other hundreds of times again and believing they are a majority.

Maybe that’s what’s modern? A plurality is a majority?

 

[jace2012]

Matt Jones just said Cal is changing his thinking on NIL and trying to get the money.

So he comprised his stance and if so that I’m not happy with.

If you see the same style of ball as 30 years ago, you don't know what you're looking at.

Why?It's a part of the game now and players won't come without it.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

So I just watched the Illinois guys, and they said reeves was finishing classes in Bloomington and that they didn’t see him going back to Kentucky, and that is Michigan Memphis Illinois or IU for reeves. They said for Illinois it’s reeves or bust

 

[Klix]

They’re clueless

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

They’re clueless

they didn’t seem to have up to date info, also said Kentucky doesn’t feel confident, and that Illinois has known reeves has been taking classes at ISU for a long time now

Anyone who tries to spin this any other way than cal being as a disaster that person has bats in their belfry.

The results speak for themselves. Cals best days are behind him in a big way.

 

[JerseyCat84]

Well either their guys or UK guys are clueless, that’s for sure. Maybe both.

 

[UK till Death]

Man, don't do this to yourself, that’s a 12+ loss team. Might win a game or two in the NCAAT.
Too many freshmen and Cal is still the coach.

People are seriously already trying to talk this team and this dumbass coach into a legit title contender.

P.T. Barnum had it right...

 

[bookerfan66]

Because of Cal's sudden NIL change I believe the UK guys on this.Cal wised up and is getting Reeves some money.

 

[drcats2013]

VERY strong smoke for a Reeves return tomorrow. We shall see. Fingers crossed.

 

[TankedCat]

Reeves is a hired gun. There is no loyalty. You can't expect him to show it, when none was expected.

The truth is if Cal had got players he wanted, he would have cast Reeves off and shrugged his shoulders when Reeves talked about NIL money and playing time

But Cal didn't, and he is unfamiliar territory about selling the value of coming back to a guy who deserved more minutes last year but watched his coach completely screw up the season by sticking with an antiquated lineup and PG that couldn't beat the lowest P5 teams

I don't begrudge Reeves making any decision one way or another, primarily because Cal treats most of these kids at commodity you can buy and sell.

I hope he comes back, but I also hope he makes Cal promise him some outlandish stuff in order to make it happen.

Being the only school in the SEC without a transfer and losing most of the players you expected to return will do that.😉

 

[Creed Bratton]

He’d be no help at all, he’s dead

and he would produce as much as Shaedon Sharp did.

All players are hired guns in this era.

UK's classes ended a month ago. How could he have been taking ISU classes for a long time?

It's basically "Warrior" ball.
It looks a lot better when you have Steph and Klay running it.
Arkansas didn't have the personell the run it last year because they couldn't shoot
Their main weapon was getting those big guards in the paint so they really didn't look " modern" when you watched them.

 

[TankedCat]

I'm not saying its not a necessary evil, but no, not all players are - anUK's approach is the most cut throat in all of college basketball. Look what it turned Oscar into.

When it worked, it was great, but now its a contagion on the program and college basketball in general - and UK was ground zero for its spread

 

[KentuckyCat420]

Rumor is that he wouldn’t have been able to get enough classes in this summer to graduate and transfer.

So, he’d be staying….but didn’t actually want to stay. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not the rumor at all, pay for a subscription.

I think your trust in the guys you were listening to, is about to go out the window.

I give these guys credit, they want Cal to be great again and they stick with him no matter how many times he kicks them in the chongs.
I just can't do it. He's going to have to prove to me that he can win with…………………… ANYONE.

I don't see it, I'm trying to, but it’s not working.

 

[HagginHall1999]

Sisk just said on Leach Report that he heard from two sources late last night "who are as good as it gets" that Reeves is expected back. Statement expected today. Said one guy has NEVER led him wrong. One has close access to program and other in D1 coaching circles.

Paraphrasing of course...but that is what I heard.

 

[Ukgold]

If we can get Reeves back and get a center Cyril or other, then we'll be young but really really talented. So it'll just come down to if several of the freshman can be hugely impactful. I know we've not seen our freshman do well recently, but plenty have been great around the country. Just need to land some hits for once and we could have a really good team. I'm excited for the season anyway, not going in with expectations but its UK basketball w/ a #1 recruiting class, so I'll be watching and hoping for the best case.

nice outlook, who know right now how good these guys are going to be. We should have an idea after the Canada trip. The competition should be stronger than it was last year.I want to ve excited but we all know how that turns out.

If Reeves returns I don't think he will sit much. Too much money will have been spent and promises made for him to just sit. JMO.

 

[dl51344]

So basically he strong armed the staff for more cash. Niceeee. Well we do need shooters.

He is in demand. That is what you do when in demand in today's cbb.

 

[Fox2monk]

Reeves is gone

Sounds a lot better now, maybe not after all…..?

 

[SkyPrince1]

There's no way to know what other schools have offered.
Reeves still made good NIL here last year.
Reportedly 100k plus so if Dickinson told the truth on his podcast, Reeves made more.
I don't think UK would have to bump him up that much more over last year's numbers to put UK in the driver's seat.
The better he plays the more he will make at UK.

Hunter got a lot more than whatever he was getting at Michigan. Illinois, Indiana, etc. came sniffing around Reeves. They drove the price up.
