Let’s be honest Rob is a much better player and he’s only 18, Reeves knows this deep down. I think he doesn’t want to end up like Wheeler and lose his starting job to a freshmen…..
Dillingham must have Reeves shook…. Lol
- Thread starter Kentucky_SportsX
- Start date
You have no clue if Rob will be any good in college.
I guarantee he’s better than Reeves and will be in the league within one year…….. how long has Reeves been in college now? Five years?
Thats never stopped Cal before. Top recruits play, regardless.
Rob is talented but rob is also extremely out of control and takes terrible shots, going off of his OTE stuff. Rob has more potential but at the moment i say reeves is better, but reeves is also doing his crap and putting Kentucky in a really tough situation
This has drug on way to long. Move on!
After watching Savir Wheeler start over him, would anyone be dumb enough to think they'd get a fair shot.
Well reeves wouldn’t be starting over Edwards or Wagner so there’s only one person that he would start over and that’s Rob. But IMO Rob is a much more talented player and for anyone who says he isn’t doesn’t know the game of basketball.
Reeves wasn’t great at defense, he was a good shooter and nothing more. Rob is more talented and has a much higher ceiling, if I’m Cal I’m going with Rob all day long. Kid is exciting to watch and is elite at finishing around the rim. I just feel like it’ll be toxic if Reeves does come back and that’s the last thing this young teams needs
I wouldn’t be surprised if Reed was a better player than Reeves, has a much higher ceiling than Reeves. All these freshmen do……
Reeves can't create for himself or others, Dillingham will be able to do just that, which should result in some easy shots for somebody. Now if they hit the shots or not, that is another story
Now that the doubt regarding Reeves' return to UK is being solidified, here come the "let's shift the narrative goal posts" threads.
Reeves sucks and Dillingham is the second coming of De'Aaron Fox.
Hilarious.
oh we got plenty of shooters but we want makers
Isn't Dillingham gonna play point? Reeves PT would come from Wagner or Edwards, which is prob why he is not coming back.
Well if Reeves returned he would probably play the two with Wagner at the one, but if he doesn’t than Rob would play the one and Wagner at the two
That's just stupid.Reeves is a good college player.

Ilinois State registrar confirmed to me that Kentucky guard Antonio Reeves is enrolled in summer classes. Reeves spent his first three years at Illinois State prior to transferring to Kentucky last season. Still some moving parts with this one - especially over last few days.

You are clueless. There isn't a shooter on this team that Reeves fears. He just knows Cal's history and isn't willing to spend his last collegian year riding the bench behind some undeserving player in front of him just because of Cal's stars priority system.
Reeves is thinking about himself just as you are thinking about yourself and Kentucky. If you are angry at anyone, direct it at Cal. If fans don't trust Cal, why the hell do you think players should trust him. Players don't trust him and they don't have to trust him. All they have to do is look at Cal's past and that will tell them all they need to know about how they will get treated as a returning player.
How about adding some balance? If you are going to pull out his worst game, how about producing the stats on his best game(s)?
You are spot on because the same ones who are currently pumping up Dillingham will be doing just the opposite a year from now if not sooner.
Be sure to save his post so that you can remind him of it a year from now when he is trashing Dillingham.
Cal is going to play the best players. Regardless of class or rankings.
He doesn’t promise playing time or position to any player. Never has.
There’s never been even one player coached by Cal that says differently. Not here. Not anywhere else.
Anyone that says that is speaking with an agenda.
Reeves is smart enough to know that there’s 7 players on next year’s team that are better.
And not just a little bit better.
That is the holdup. He wants to play and he knows he’s not earning it here unless someone gets hurt.
Wonder why the great Pitino didn’t recruit him?
Last year or this year.
The facts are what the facts are.
Opine all you want. The facts remain.

We've had a ton of guys choke on the biggest stage.
Grady 1-9 from the field.
Washington 2-10
Knight 6-23
Herro 3-11
Shai 2-10
Washington 8-20 from the free throw line
Wall 7-18
Did they all suck as well?
Kentucky shouldn't be held hostage by a loudmouth who has quit on the job while accepting a paycheck he doesn't earn, but the reality is that Kentucky is held hostage by a bag of hot air. For certain, Cal is doing way more harm than Reeves is because no one is making UK do anything when it comes to Reeves. Kentucky is free to move on from Reeves at no cost, but that can't be said for moving on from Cal. So, your hostage metaphor is pointed at the wrong person.
Who cares? It's all about talent and getting these young guys to the NBA!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I will take 5 star NBA talent level freshmen over these 25 year old fifth year players who only care about NIL because they know their asses won’t make it to the league to get a bag…… let Reeves leave and let’s see how much national media coverage he gets….. I guarantee the spotlight won’t be on him anymore.
You care about the guys who just want to be in the league over the guys who care about NIL?
Okay, got it.
Okay, got it.
Why would Reeves be scared of Rob when they don’t play the same position ?
Nevermind the fact that he came last year when we got Cason Wallace who was a top recruit .
