If Hump leaves and assuming those that have entered their names stay in the draft:
Greene
Diallo
Washington
Vanderbilt
Richards
Alexander
Calipari
David
Gabriel
SKJ
Pulliam
Wynyard
I do not see SKJ sticking around either, unless he is told he is a a 2 deep roster posiiton. Not really confident with either Washington or Vanderbilt playing defense as a 3.
PG - Greene/Alexander
2G - Diallo/Alexander
SF - Washington/Vanderbilt
PF - Gabriel/SKJ
C - Richards/Wynard

You do know this is simply speculation about families and the financial situation.
Poythress had a year of eligibility left as well.
And even though Teague was drafted in the first round he still made a bad decision as he didn't last past his first contract.
Guys bottom line is these players owe us nothing and us whining continually over whether they stay or leave each year is useless. The constant griping over Calipari and "The Monster" some say he's created is crazy. We have the most exciting brand of basketball year in and out since he took over the reigns. We are a legitimate threat every year. As a fan what more can we ask for?
Off the top of my head -
Dakari
Aaron Harrison
Andrew Harrison
Liggins
Doron Lamb
Tyler Ulis
Briscoe
Humphries * (Maybe)
Yeah, next year if we take Johnson for this season. Calm down. Good grief.
Hump isn't leaving because he's so wrapped up in the OAD culture and thinks he deserves to be in the league right now -
Hump is leaving because he thinks he's not getting playing time next year.
Why would that be?
As it stands right now, Richards and SKJ would be his competition for the five spot, unless we ran a really small lineup. And Richards, while talented, has only been playing 3 years, while SKJ couldn't get off the bench before when Brad was playing. Tons of opportunity for JR. Hump to come in and hold it down.
Makes me feel very good about either Bam or Bamba, if not both.

In your eyes it doesn't. You're not the one whose future is going to be impacted. You're speaking from a fan perspective.
Tyler is doing great,Andrew and Liggins are in the league and I think Hump is talking about pro Aussie ball.
This one seems like it's been coming. He goes back home and plays professional ball in Australia, I'm guessing. Hope he stays, but starting to think we've got Bamba.
If he is going to get a max contract, maybe, but Australia pro teams on average aren't much better paid than the D-League.
If it makes you feel any better I am going to stayWell crap.Will anyone stay?
This year isn't a typical year because we did have 3 seniors. Plus if Humphries left I couldn't blame him because he's looking at not a lot of playing time again unless he improves a ton.
I think Cal could possibly tweak his recruiting in the future. Maybe he'll look towards supplementing each class with a juco and or grad transfers to have a few more experienced players on the roster. Either way we'll always have one of if not the most talented team in the country. I'll take talent over experience always. The way Cal recruits it's pretty difficult to have both.

What exactly is getting out of hand? What needs to be gotten under control? The six Elite Eights in eight years? The four Final Fours? Missing the Final Four this year on a last second shot and shoddy officiating to the eventual champion?
What part of that is such a train wreck? Is it the incoming #1 recruiting class? The pre-season Top Five rankings?
You act like it is a program in free fall. In fact, Kentucky is the program that has won the most NCAA tournament games and cumulatively gone farther than any other program in the last eight years.
This endless panic and negativity is ludicrous. Stop peeing your pants in 25 threads a day.
LOL . No Bamba will start with PJ Washington and Vanderbilt in the front court. Richards , Gabriel and SKJ will be the 3 back ups. Tai will be here but he ain't playing much.
Thank you . There are a lot of dumbasses on here. Humphries will play next season alot less then this season as Bamba and richards will be our centers.
I've read many thread's this afternoon about Bamba being at UK next season! Did I miss him saying WHERE he will play his one year at ? Last I read, he seemed more of a dooke lean?? Please let me know when he said he was coming to UK!! 
Serious question: Would you be fine with Cal stopping the recruitment of Bamba and pulling his offer if it meant keeping Humphries?

Let me know where you read he was a Duke lean. I don't believe the Duke guys even think that.

morg, unfortunately some people don't understand that part of being a UK BB player.
At least Cal will have another excuse next year besides "we are the youngest team in the country". Now he will be able to say that and we lost 99% of our scoring folks, what do you expect. Lol at Cal. You gotta love him! Lol
So just burn this place to the ground with the constant turnover that we end up with no contributing upperclassmen for two years.
Losing our whole team is going to be super fun.
Losing our whole team is going to be super fun.
fans didnt have a problem with this the past 7 years....why is it a big deal now?
Drew Harrison is one of first off of bench for Memphis.
Liggins plays every night for the Cavs
Ullis is starting for christ sakes.
Well, almost every year except 2013 and 2016. We had no chance those years. Both were seasons after we lost pretty much all of our main contributors.
Yep. So stupid to consider leaving for a 6 figure pay day, what smart person would ever do that...
It's arguably better than Duke has done with the same average amount of talent, and they have the GOAT.
You're not good enough.
Wasn't to the extreme that it will be next year.
Returning players under Cal -
2009/10 - Patterson, Miller, Harris, Stevenson, Harrellson, Liggins
2010/11 - Harrellson, Liggins, Miller
2011/12 - Jones, Lamb, Miller, Hood
2012/13 - Hood, Polson, Wiltjer (no surprise this team was awful)
2013/14 - WCS, Polson, Poythress
2014/15 - Lee, Aaron, Andrew, Dakari, WCS
2015/16 - Willis, Hawkins, Lee, Poythress
2016/17 - Willis, Hawkins, Mulder
2017/18 - Gabriel
That's a stupid take. We were in the championship game 3 times in 8 years. There are programs who don't even make the damn round of 64 that many times in 8 years.
Why is no one counting Diallo as a returning player? He will have been here 10 months when the season starts and spent half a season practicing with Monk, Fox etc.
