Comments on Sea of Blue about Reeves

Destined to become a classic.
 
I don’t know the answer either. But, for example, while TN is waiting on James to decide whether to come back, they sign two of the top SFs in the portal? All three are 6’6” and 200-225 lbs. and good rebounders. Indications are 2 of the 3 will start at the forward spots (James, supposedly a 2G/SF, has played PF and Ledlum will too).

Isn’t that what a team should do? Try to get the best players you can and let the competition determine who starts, plays where, etc.? It does not appear to me that UK is really doing that. How does TN convince Knecht and Ledlum to both come to TN, especially with James still perhaps coming back? If a program like TN can do it, surely a much more prominent program like UK can do it.

I don’t think gifting unproven players starting positions (if that is what is happening) is the best way to build a cohesive and competitive team? Coaches are good at selling players on the fact that starting/playing time is in their hands and it’s anticipated they will play if they work hard enough. If TN can do that I know UK can.
Absolutely agree.How can some teams convince multiple positions players to come and we can't even get a f'n player to come here for the 5 spot.I mean seriously,if folks are banking on Onyenso to handle the 5 spot then they are living in fantasy land We have 7 players on the roster and only Thierro has division 1 experience and that's not a compliment either.I can only hope that there is some kind of plan in place to fill the roster and get help because it's a shit show currently.

I just don’t think 18 year olds can compete with 4,5 and 6 year seniors and grad students . Too great an advantage to overcome .
Yep that AAU mentality will not work against a veteran team that can handle pressure situations.Of course add in a Coach that also doesn't know how to handle in game flow and pressure situations and you end up getting what we have seen lately...mediocre basketball.

Spot on. Beard will probably do well in the SEC since he's the King of the portal. Kansas State was an ENTIRELY portal-built roster. Despite what Cal said, I think this is his last year as his one and done's wont be able to compete and he has no interest in coaching a roster full of guys that will be playing down at the YMCA after they graduate.

I'll believe Reeves isn't back when I see it.

Regardless, not being able to sign a potential starting 5 and at least one other rotation player is very concerning. UK should be able to attract some veterans to compete and potentially be part of a winning team next season.

NIL should have helped UK a ton but it hasn't much at all as far as attracting quality transfers or even rotation 7 to 9th men transfers.

Hell I thought NIL would help us more than anyone.I mean Shaddy Sharpe got huge bucks to sit on his ass but here we are and can't seem to convince anybody to come here....
Maybe it's more to do with the coaching staff than anything or maybe not but it doesn't make sense when you consider everything.

mealinewoman66booker deletes her tirade after being outed for suffocating the board with all kinds of aliases.

I deleted it so you couldn't bait be into getting a ban here.Now you are on ignore.Have a nice life.
 
People are shocked a Sr is trying every avenue to go pro? He already went to the combine tryouts but didn't make the cut. Why wouldn't he continue to explore options?

If you're looking at it from his angle, he isn't getting younger and his limitations are mostly physical. So it's just a matter of where he will make the most money
Reeves KNOWS that Cal will place him on the back burner and only use him when ABSOLUTELY necessary. Reeves also KNOWS that Cal will treat him a WHOLE LOT different than the Freshmen guards next season. He will be expected to knock down 3's as soon as he enters the game and if he doesn't, back to the bench he will go.

Reeves KNOWS that next season his role will be diminished on top of having even MORE pressure to perform in a SHORTER amount of playing time. That's why he is REALLY considering going to the G-League.

However, looking at his 3 pt shooting since the Arky game, something has effected his shot. He has STRUGGLED to make them. Can he get it back at UK??? Maybe he thinks he could get it back EASIER as a pro, without Cal CONSTANTLY yelling at him.

Hard to argue about anything here.We all know how Cal does his favs
 
Many wrote here how only a lowlife and a little B$&#H would try to play "God" and tamper with someone in real life that posts here. Yet Pillow Phight did it, was reported and luckily for him the moderators deleted it. That's not baiting, that's reporting a despicable act. So wouldn't that make Phight AKA grom a "little b*t#H" by his own definition.???????

Plus he had the wrong guy so the poor guy he posted the name and facebook page of (and his easy-to-locate-where-he-works job title) is subject to internet sicko's messing with him. That's beyond sick and insane. Woody and a few others excuse it and wonder why I have no respect for them? Too funny. Someone with no integrity wondering why someone doesn't respect them.....LOL!

I just wonder if Phigt know's how obvious it is that he's Grom ?

UK can't beat a G league salary?
 
We need guys who want to play. That's all.

Team after team at all levels is showing that works. But Cal only wants guys he can send to the pro's so we are sort of held hostage until he's gone. I won't bash him as he's brought me so many good times, but I'm definitely ready for change.

Cal deserves plenty of scorn over roster management. In this situation I don't know the answer. Incoming portal guys want to know pt will be available. Hard sell it you have someone who might be coming back.

The windows need reset so college teams and players have a more definite picture of rosters in time for portal guys to make their decision. That isn't going to happen so cal needs to break character and push either an early decision from guys "testing the waters" or a late decision from portal guys. Instead he'll do neither because with cal, program comes last and players come first, even when they don't come here.
Has it ever occurred to you Ky could have easily taken the best shooter available and reeves wound have ti deal wjtb repercussions of not firmly committing back to Ky?

He isn’t exactly like Oscar situation

Cryer, the Taylor kid from Marshall recently, Kentucky has numerous opportunities to go get somebody and make the others make a decision but cal played to reeves and Oscar’s decision and know he is screwed if either decides they want to leave

I understand Reeves position but it needs to be a two way street. We need to protect ourselves, if we have a player looking we need to be looking. If we can find as good or better we need to sign them

You're thinking along the lines that I feel are true.

Coaches are supposed to let the players earn their keep.

Reeves was the MVP of the Bahamas.

I feel he should of played more during reg season.

He's got game. I just don't understand him sitting the bench.

If you read my whole post you'd see that yes I did and pointed out why cal is at fault for the way he handles these situations
