Is Cade Cunningham Back On The Table? OSU Given Post-Season Ban

[Tampa_cat54]

OSU given 1 year post-season ban for their role in the FBI investigation.

Cunningham would be able to ask out of his Letter of Intent and go anywhere without penalty now.

 

[Tampa_cat54]

Also important to note, however, that his brother is still on staff there (they hired him just to get Cade).

Wonder how that situation will play out.

 

[Lead Belly]

I would say G league is more likely.

 

[SpamburgerHamburger]

Not like they could have won anything even if they made the tournament. He's way more likely to go pro than go to another school. In my opinion anyway.

G-League is definitely an option. Might be most likely?

Wow!!!

 

[drew_ukfan]

He obviously doesn’t care about winning so I see no change in his decision

We shall see soon enough. If CC doesn’t go to OSU I’d expect him to do the GLeague.

This. I mean guys like he and Edwards don't care about titles or winning. They just want to be the big fish in the small pond.

 

[jgraf_1]

I dont' see him switching schools. He'll go the g-league route if he leaves. But I'm more interested to see this trickle down to other schools involved in this.

 

[UKCats2000]

Would they have made the post-season anyhow?

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Make shitty decisions, get shitty results. Can't say I feel bad.. the Cade camp knew this was a possibility.

It's like he won a car on Price is Right and they were like.. "This is a top prize (UK), but let's see if we can do just a smidge better."

.. steak knives. That are now broken.

 

[Bill Withers]

As others have said, I'd be surprised. His brother kept his job and he likely got some money out of the deal. He's still getting what he wanted.

I’m not saying every kid should come to Kentucky, or even that it is the right/wrong decision. Trae Young did wonders for his stock elsewhere, but that’s looking more like the exception than the rule.

Wiseman, Cunningham, Edwards (stock is the same but could have rose playing on a better team on a national platform), and McDaniels all probably could have improved their stock or brand playing for Kentucky.

No doubt.

Trae Young is one of the few top level kids who I can say genuinely did better away from UK than he would have here.

Most kids go elsewhere and really struggle, or have good years but miss the NCAA Tournament.

 

[YardCat]

He is making G League money at Ok St. He will ride it out for his brother and try to get him an extension.

 

[kyups01]

Cunningham isnt gonna care about that post season ban....most of these kids no longer care about college bball anyhow. It's just a quick stop on the way to the NBA

 

[JFCats22]

Kansas should be scared as hell

Well, looks like several top teams will not be playing the the NCAA tourny next year!

 

[Roe07]

It's not like they were gonna have a post-season anyway. That's what you get when you're that good and choose to play at a has-been program like Oklahoma State. My guess is CC couldn't care less about it anyway.

I'm sure Cal is way ahead of the curve. Would like to hear that he at least reached out again.

You can’t contact a player who has signed with another school until the player asks for and receives their release and likely also enters name in transfer portal.

Aren’t wiseman and Edwards predicted top 3-6 in the draft? Both will have a net worth of at least $30 million in like 2 months.

 

[kyups01]

And they dont care about college bball anymore because people like Lebron

 

[Canned Heat]

Yes, Kansas, Louisville, Arizona, LSU, etc. should all be scared

 

[seccats04]

Uh oh you're in big trouble now. You better apologize for being white.

This

 

[Pnasty94]

If he gets out of his LOI, Cal will meet with him. Mark it down. He's the best PG coming out of this year and a top 5 pick. It doesn't stop for Cal.

It's like telling me I can't date Kate Upton .

He’s not back on the table. But he does look just a wee bit dumber for playing us.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

I think some care. The ones who will be going to college for 2-4 years. But I mean.. guys who are only using it as a pit stop/ the ones who will be fiilty rjch multi millionaires in 8 months don’t really care. I don’t blame them which is why I wish they’d just let them declare straight from high school. I am hoping this new G league will help with that.

I read somewhere that Wiseman had fallen out of the top ten . But they're projections so who knows .

 

[kyjeff1]

Ben Simmons did okay going to LSU.

Most of these talented kids like Edwards, Simmons, McDaniels, Cunningham etc… are going to be lottery picks anyway. It seems like they think they are good enough to win without anyone's help at a lower tiered school. It rarely works out.

But they all have their eyes on the NBA, college basketball is not a big deal to them and since it's not a big deal, why on earth would they come to UK where they will have to actually work hard in practice?

Tom Crean and whoever the coaches at OSU and Washington are, aren't pushing these players like Cal does, nah, Edwards went to UGA and probably went with about 50% effort in practice. There was no way in hell that Tom Crean was going to make him go any harder than that. But you know what? Edwards is probably going #2 in the draft. Cade Cunningham will be a top 5 pick as well and it won't matter where he goes to college.

 

[JoeBolognas]

There are plenty of kids who went to mediocre programs, achieved little team success, but still did well in the draft.

Since they went with the Committee on Infractions there is no appeal.

 

[JerseyCat84]

He either stays or G-League.
