All won’t happen!
Maybe they all leave but, I am guessing one of the bigs stay. I am taking a stab and saying its "Onyenso". I am also guessing we keep
Cal would let every single player on this team return if they wanted to. He said in an interview the other day there are multiple freshmen on this team that need another year, but ultimately it's their decision. He's said before he supports the players in whatever decision they make. If he thinks they should return but they leave he'll still support them, and many here confuse that for pushing them out the door.
Ivisic is a maybe for me now where he was somebody I considered gone. But I agree on the others, Sheppard, Wagner, Edwards are all gone. Ugo is a maybe and Bradshaw is one I have no clue what he does. Theiro is honestly the only one I can say with even a little confidence I see back
This is just not true lol he’s pushed several lottery picks right out the door: Wall, Cousins, Monk, Fox, Bam, just to name a few.
Every player you listed (I think you named all of them except Ulis) had nothing left to prove at college level. I think Rob is the only one on this team like that. Many say Reed too, but I think he needs to show can become quicker or stronger to play against grownass men.
Despite not having anything to prove, maybe they wanted to enjoy college life a little longer before going to the meat grinder. You get 4 years to enjoy college life before beginning your career and once it begins there is no going back. If he is going to support a players decision to leave that should stay he should also support a players decision to stay that is ready to leave (in terms of ability). Believe it or not, at one time not that many years ago, most college players played all 4 years, with some leaving after 3 with few to none leaving after 1 or 2 years. Players are still playing multiple years of college ball, it’s just become the anomaly in Lexington now instead of the norm.
Plus most of the ones that don't go to the draft transfer. They know their shot at Kentucky is pretty much over after one year for the most part.
Some kids get recruited over. DJ and Bradshaw would start and play 30+ minutes next year. They aren’t leaving for fear of not playing. They just wanna be in the league.
There are n ver guarantees. But typically the biggest improvement in players is from their FR to Soph year.
I have been the only one saying that about Reed in nearly every related thread. That one of several reasons why Reed may return is that he’s still a kid, and he and his parents may want him to get more than 1 year of the college experience like his parents did. That once you leave you must live as an adult, no going back.
OK - a lot of them leave anyway. Maybe it's not most. I think it's a combination of knowing the new guys will get the minutes and then also knowing they aren't getting adequate development here.
Part of your statement is just ignorant.
Of course he wouldn't. That would be dumb on his part. But there is no way all 3 7-footers return. Odds are at least 1 thinks he will go play in the G-league or might make a NBA roster. But they can all 3 divide 40 by 3 and know that's not what they want. And honestly I seriously doubt even 2 return. But I do expect 1 to return. Which one, IDK. If I had to put odds on it I would go 40% Bradshaw, 30% Z, 30% Onyenso.
Buddy Reed is gone, for one he won’t turn down being a top 10 pick and Cal will not allow him to return
Maybe. It’s a big possibility.
