If Bradshaw or big z do play soon what exactly do they add

Bradshaw will never play a second in a UK uniform.
Why do you think? He has shown us multiple times he wants to play here. This isn’t a sharpe situation
It's not Bradshaw wanting to be here or wanting to play im worried about. It's his agency. They wanted him at USC with Bronny James and Isiah Collier.
But he’s not there so what does he gain by sitting out ? This isn’t a Sharpe situation where his stock is super high :
He's a little fragile.
No need to risk it, in his mind.
I'll be stunned if he sees the floor.
If he doesn’t play the UNC Wilmington game then I think it should be a real conversation
That’s not a far fetch!
Guarantee Ugonna will never see much time either and Big Z will be ruled ineligible.
That’s a little far fetched on my part but who the heck knows. Why is it so hard for us to have something go our way?
His agency might want him to just sit out this year and go to the draft based off raw potential. You saw the reports Klutch was not happy with how cal was using Chris Livingston last year and Cal had to beg CL to not transfer mid season. Klutch never wanted Bradshaw here because they fear he will be mis-used like their boy CL. They wanted him out west with Bronny at USC.
That game is 17 days away. I don’t see him playing until January.
That goes completely against every timeline we have been given. The timeline we have been given suggest he should play Friday or Monday
If you add rebounding to it, they don't need to add anything else.
Yeah but he hasn’t even started practicing yet. i do think he plays but he still has to practice a few weeks before he can enter a game and play much

I think he ends up playing but I can’t really argue this point .
If he doesn’t play that should be the end of Cal .
How much practice will he need, 2-3 days for a 19 year old should be plenty, he has probably been doing conditioning work this whole time anyways
Agree, I honestly like the team playing small and fast we look like a modern basketball team at times. One of those two bigs offer rim protection and rebounding Kentucky should be good
Last week cal said Bradshaw is 1-2 weeks away in a pre game presser or post game one I forgot which one, he has been saying that the past couple of weeks
Cal has to win that Miami game at home, that will be a big game and they have to win, if they lose that then the same concerns will get louder and louder
Oh I agree but i feel like it’s always a couple weeks of practicing after an injury before a guy comes back.
Brother, you can’t believe a word Cal says.
I shouldn’t, it’s like getting burnt by the same girl in college multiple times(had that happen had to learn the hard way) but I keep on believing every now and then
Big z gets cleared, he should be able to play 5-10 mins easily, same with Bradshaw but with uk who knows the injuries are always circuses and nobody gets clear answers
They’ll bring rebounding, rim protection, a lob threat and both can space the floor. Also, why does everyone keep forgetting about Ugo? He’s the best shot blocker on the roster, easily. He’s also a damn good rebounder.
Well Dickerson doesn’t get 20 rebs with Bradshaw in the game. Maybe 12. He doesn’t have a career scoring night with the gimme put backs. You also move Mitchell to the 4 where he becomes a problem to defend good matchup for him to defend.
The procedure he had done months ago was a 6 week deal. Same procedure Brock bowers had 3 weeks ago right?
Suuuuuuuuurrrrre. I'll eat my hat if he plays within the next week
Then forget it. If he starts in Jan he won’t make an impact and that will kill his stock. I think he probably has some guarantees as is. He doesn’t have to play.
No. I love Thiero but he’s a little undersized and doesn’t have Mitchell’s talent. Mitchell is a legit threat from deep Thiero isn’t. If Thiero is 6’8” then Mitchell is 6’10”. He’s more experienced and a better player than theiro at this point. That is what he was brought in for. I love what Thiero brings but in a situation with Bradshaw at the 5 they are going to want to play a wide open style on offense.
In 8 fewer minutes tonight, Thiero outrebounded Mitchell 13-6. He was all over the court, making hustle play after hustle play. I'll take hustle over talent
Mitchell doesn’t stand around dude. He was battling with Dickerson for rebounds. He is a natural 4 Thiero is kinda of a tweener. He’s gonna be a defensive/physical spark plug for us. I think Thiero will get a lot of minutes and I like his fight but Mitchell at the 4 creates mismatches and will help us play an open style on offense.
This makes me sick to my stomach, I can see this happening. If it does, there HAS to be a way to get Cal out of here.
If that’s the direction the season goes cal won’t make it unless ugo and Z carry our front court to a title
