You mean like Feldhouse, Farmer, Pelphrey, Hanson?
Jasper Johnson

Darius was one of the most valuable players on any Kentucky championship team. Sorry, but that's a terrible take.
Johnson and Moreno should be the top priorities for ‘25.
Darius did lead us to a championship
I just hope his family is sensible about nil money. I’ve heard they are expecting a ridiculous amount.
Makes some feel superior to belittle others
Depends upon your definition of legend
Reed was very much a legend. He was followed and revered since his early days. Especially since both parents were uk athletes

Reed didn’t win an sec tournament or ncaa tournament game. Didn’t win a high school championship. Darius won a khsaa ans ncaa championship and made a bundle of money in to the nba. I don’t know what else could qualify you as a Kentucky legend
I can envision a starting five of Johnson, Oweh, Chandler, Riley, and Garrison next season. Perry, Noah, and Moreno off the bench. That’s a good core to build a roster around.
He didn’t lead us, he helped us to a championship. Fine player but not one I would consider a legend. Sorry guys.
He should have said Goose Givens. That’s the in-state legend to me. Not only helped his team win the title, he led the team to a title, finishing with one of the greatest title game performances of all time.
Getting way out in front of the skis here, but just for speculation purposes: That would be 5 guys returning whom I believe will all be good players in year two; then add those 3 freshmen you mentioned for a total of 8 players. Add to that a top PF & SF and maybe PG from the portal, then maybe a skilled tweener freshman PF (e.g., PJ Washington or Brice Hopkins) and I would be very happy.
I’m going to say Pope signs five, maybe six.
The ‘25 class is talented and deep. Got to get as many of these guys as possible without going overboard. I don’t think he would want a roster with 7 or 8 Freshmen.
Definitely want Johnson and Moreno. Another in-state kid that looks like UK material is Magwood (originally from Louisville).
Get those three plus Riley is also a priority (if he stays in ‘25).
Maybe finish with Yessoufou and maybe another long term investment 4-star/high 3-star type.
Those six plus five guys back in Oweh, Garrison, Chandler, Perry, and Noah.
Then use the last two spots in the portal?
Being a legend isn't limited to championships.
I'd say Big Dan and Mashburn qualify without question for a couple examples.
Reed had a great year but wouldn't qualify in my book though.
Both of those guys had multiple conference championships. They also won multiple tournament games. Hell, Mashburn made a F4.
Other than playing at UK, Reed didn't accomplish shit for the program.
That's 2 decades ago. Kids born that year will be able to buy alcohol soon lol
Well if you didn't know who it was in the picture, why make a glaring mistake of a post ? if you don't know, don't post.
Winston Bennett is a underrated UK legend.
I thought that was the last time Kentucky had at least 4 Kentucky kids on its roster but I was wrong. 2013-2014 had Jarrod polson, Jon Hood, Tod Lanter, EJ Floreal, Dominique Hawkins, and Derek Willis.
I believe he said it in an interview I watched. I want to say it was Jack Pilgrim? I came away from whatever interview I'm thinking of saying that UNC will be hard to beat. I also want to say he had a friend that was already committed to UNC as well.
STFU, Reed is a UK legend. One of the best players to ever play here. Its not his fault his coach sucked having one foot out the door and not doing his job as a coach. Its not Reed's fault he wasnt a starter and wasnt allowed to take as many shots as Cal's favorites.
Reed is absolutely a Kentucky legend . Darius Miller is too. to say otherwise is absurd.

I have never understood why people want to tag individual honors based on a team's success. If it is an individual honor, then it should be mostly based on things that individual accomplished. It takes a team to win a championship. Mashburn is definitely legendary status, and he never won a title. But anybody that lived during that era knows who that is. Isn't that the very definition of being a legend??
Cal sucks and mis used Sheppard for sure. But there's no getting around that Sheppard shit the bed his last game here. If you find him a legend that's great. The vast majority of us see him as the son of a legend who could hit 3 point shots but never accomplished anything.
To me Sheppard would be a legend, if he came back and led this team for Pope.
I have a hard time pinning the “legend” title to someone who only played one season, unless they won a title and/or NPOY or something like that.

I consider Darius a legend. Won a natty that’s good enough for me
There are plenty of legends who didnt go to the final four or win a title. Is Tayshaun Prince not a legend?
Legend is " a very famous person" and for Reed being as great as he was and being a top 5 draft pick, ... he'll be a UK legend for a long long time per the definition of legend.
A legend in this context is "A very Famous person" so anyone saying you have to carry the team or win a title or do this or that isnt using the word correctly. A UK player can be a legend for just trash talking like what Kriisa might do this year lol.
No need in attacking you the way that happened I agree. It was an honest mistake. Don't think too much into what some on here reply
