Is Reeves afraid to commit

[Dontworryboutit23]

They never deleted him from the directory when he was a student before . Kids from years ago are still in it . That said , that’s likely where he’d ‘graduate ‘ from if possible , as 85% of his credits are from there

It’s a little weird he hasn’t announced yet. If he is for sure gone, what the holdup.

Number 1 class in the country. Seems the facts don’t support your view.

I sure hope none of them foul, or does that not support YOUR view?

I’m gonna need more than a random Illinois fan message board to convince me of that. If it comes out later and it was true I will own up and give you credit but for right now I’m going with the other side and the student directory is wrong

It has nothing to do with him being in the directory. He’s finishing up school at ISU.

What if he doesn’t graduate at ISU? Then he’s stuck. Nothing to announce yet.

It will be interesting to see how it shakes out. Proof will be in the pudding. My guess is the truth lies somewhere in the middle. I highly doubt that it is as bad as Jones said.

JMHO...I think Cal tried going the way of the old guard and it just doesn't work with his style of play which requires a dynamic PG and guys who can play off dribble. We just have not had a roster of those guys in years. I think transfers aren't coming here because they know they won't start and can get money elsewhere. Dickinson....to me that whole thing seemed unlikely from Day #1.

If anything I think it may be worse than Jones is letting on. Why? Because there has to have been some sort of catalyst to create the divide between Calipari and the boosters. Maybe it was the whole Sharpe fiasco or the Wheeler situation, who knows? But, something has happened and listening to that podcast I got the definite feeling that Jones knows what caused the rift but, refuses to call out anyone by name.
It's pretty obvious there is a problem with NIL at UK on the bball side. No organized collective and only a handful of big money boosters/donors compared to football. The money for basketball recruits seems very limited compared to other programs. And that has NEVER been a problem for UK before. So, obviously something has changed.

Being posted elsewhere that it is more likely than not Reeves will be back. This is maybe the most ridiculous recruitment of a returnee ever and it bordering on at least my most memorable "message board recruitment"...rivaling Darius Rice in the back/forth.

 

[crawfords corner]

I don't think he's coming back. Not to play with a bunch of 18 year olds.

Yeah that's my worry.Does he want to be the only experience on a team full of kids.

 

[westerncat]

Yeah I think he is not coming back to UK . if he want to play at UK why take classes at ISU ?

Perfect opportunity to shine and lead. Think it will have the opposite effect on him returning.

Where you seeing this?

 

[HagginHall1999]

Where you seeing this?

Pilgrim...and another poster on a paywall who said he has a source who is adamant Reeves will be back. TIFWIW. Pilgrim said specifically looks more likely today than last week but nothing finalized.
