Is krissa not coming back?

He's getting an extra year.
He's more than likely, transferring.

He redshirted in an interview it didn’t sound like he was staying
No, he is NOT.
Will play for someone else next season.

He isnt coming back.
I wonder if he could have back this season but chose not to due to getting another year.

I suppose he might be concerned about playing time due to level of talent we might have.
Good luck to him, he would be buried on our depth chart for next season
He was still pretty banged up and on crutches in February I believe. Just no way he was getting back this season.
I believe everyone assumes he is being recruited over. They probably are not wrong. We have a freshman coming in that needs time on the court and everyone expects us to bring in a portal transfer to start at PG. Unlikely he wants to finish his career as PG3.

He's a spark to the team energy, and I think he needs to be brought back for that alone. I also feel if he focused on improving his defense, that would be incredible. He's the kind of player opponents don't want in their faces.
I think he'll probably be back.
When I first saw that interview and he said, "Right now I'm just focused on this year. Not thinking at all about next year," I thought with most of you that those are NOT the words a guy says who's coming back next year.
But after having a week or so to think about it, I realize I had probably not properly considered that he's either in the middle of NIL negotiations with Pope and staff right now or he's about to be in them. In that context, you just can't do anything to tip your hand or it seriously weakens your negotiating power. So with that figured in, I don't think I've actually seen anything that really indicates he won't return.
He started with a great relationship with Pope, has got on well with the players, and will almost certainly not have any alternative options that are nearly as high profile as Kentucky. So with all that I suspect it's probably a lot more likely he really will come back than that he won't, even despite what we all thought we saw in that little courtside interview.

It always amuses me when someone unequivocally states they know what decision a kid is going to make when the kid may not even know. Yes, Kerr probably has a good idea. Or he may not. If not, how the heck do we know?
Yeah that would be a pretty crappy move saying he's not coming back when the season isn't over yet.
My guess is he wants serious PT. He could go somewhere and play 30 min a game. He would be a 10-15 guy at most for us next year.
Yes and if he said he was coming back it weakens his bargaining position for NIL negotiations
To be fair that's not much different than he would have been this season.
Let's hope not. We have 2 guards coming in that should play immediately. He'd be in the way and mediocre at best.
He was great for this first year, but if we're being honest we have to have much better talent going forward. I can't see him seeing the floor more than 10mins max, baring a 1000 injuries like this this, and o get it if he wants to finish with a chance to play big mins.
Just hope he doesn't go to a team we hate. Otherwise I'm good with it and thankful he gave us this year.

He’s gone man. He’s definitely NOT a player we need back. I think it’s a red flag when a guy transfers multiple times unless there were circumstances out of their control ie coaching change. No one will pony up nil money he will want.
I’m sure if he leaves it’s because of the depth coming in not because he’s told to transfer. He does have a positive vibe on the bench but he would be PG3 in his final year of eligibility
Dude, you can't make a 6 foot slow white guy into Michael Jordan. All the Bama/Auburn players would love having him in their faces so they can use their quicks and their hops to eat him for lunch. Maybe he can come back on a cheerleading scholarship.
That 6 foot slow white guy was really good as a Fr at Arizona and was a good player at WVU. Not everybody we bring in will be an A-A. Next year we go to 15 scholarships and Pope is nuts if he doesn't use all of them after the season of injuries that we had.
People I trust. Kerr returning would complicate things. He’s not the guy you want for your starting point guard. Even if he was it would be a gamble with the nature of his injury. I believe Kerr will want minutes and with Lewis and “hopefully “ a nice portal pg. I don’t see enough minutes.
Things leak out and what I told you comes directly from a former player who is a former teamate of mark pope
Tell your friend he's being ridiculous. The only part of that that wasn't touchy-feely was the part about him transferring multiple times before he got here and.....let me go out on a limb and take a wild guess that Pope and staff already knew that.
Very cool but that doesn't add up to "He will not be back."
It's your guess and it may very well be a reasonable guess. But if you trust it enough to let it stand on its own as your guess you should do that. It's weak bullshit as a direct response to what I wrote originally.
I think there was some smoke about that earlier (and Pope's comments about him not healing as quickly as originally thought may be an oblique reference to that).
He is who you want in your face when you’re playing offense. Nothing will be there to stop you outside of a mouth possibly.
And I respect the dude. Love dudes like him that talk. But you gotta walk to talk.
That is fair . I could have worded it better. Should have said something like “the tea leaves say he won’t be back “ . Or at least put an “imo” after it. I didn’t think anyone would take it as though I knew for sure .
When put that way I respect it a lot more because you always pay attention and go real hard after insights like this.
