Johnson to Arizona

What options are left man
Reeves, Oscar still haven’t decided. Johnson to Arizona still isn’t official . There will be more portal entries after draft combine. You think Cal is going to roll with only 7 total players? You were predicting record for what we have now which won’t be the roster next year is all I was saying.

We have our starting lineup and 6th and 7th man, we don’t need great options, we need Eloy Vargas to play spot minutes and be solid. I’m not sure why y’all think we’re gonna have a 2015 roster ever again. Guys want to play, no one of quality is gonna come here to play spot minutes.
One of the guys that's a starter couldn't get minutes on last years 10 loss team. The other four are freshmen. Our 6th or 7th man couldn't get minutes on that same team. So, color me skeptical.

And if your last sentence is true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, we better get someone that can coach and develop players quickly. Because if Cal can't outrecruit, he sure as hell isn't going to outcoach.
 
Well, Maggard tweeted it was Arizona. He’s somewhat connected to someone in the program anyway. It doesn’t sound good.
Then you link the tweet and don't act like you've personally got the scoop. No one should just believe that. Like I said, he may be right, but I don't know this cat from Adam and his soothsaying prognostication doesn't have any credence with me.

We just have to see how this plays out. I find it hard to believe Cal is going to trash the season by not bringing in more guys.

I sincerely hope he doesn't think he.has enough firepower because he has a few 5* high school kids. That would be almost as disappointing as the 9-16 season.
 
We can only hope Kobe Brown withdraws from the NBA and transfers. Uh, wait.
 
Sounds like the people that still somehow love a certain (former) politician.

This offseason has been such an enormous dud- idk how anyone can look at next season and be excited at this point.

Especially as it looks like Oscar is leaning the other way now as well.
Yeah, Obama was a jackass yet they still like him. It's crazy.
 
What happens if 2 of them are elite?
It doesn't matter if 4 of them are elite. If we have a roster of 7 players, the players will be playing 35 minutes a game and run into the ground by mid season. We have seen what fatigue and injuries do to our key players when we don't have a solid bench. If we are counting on Wagner and Dillingham to each give us 35 mins a game, we are F'ed.

Is that the guy that stole so many peoples money with some sort of web site years ago? I think some called him frosty tips or something like that... I almost, almost joined that myself but did not. Geez what some will do....

I guess he's an okay above board guy now...

I just don't understand what the plan is.Cal has only gone hard after Hunter and Johnson.He has to know that with Klutch involved Chris has always been gone and Oscar is very like gone also.Why not go after some of the talented big men who are now off the board?He doesn't seem to have backup plans.Yeah we still have time but it feels like it now will take a Nelson or Brown miracle to be a true final 4 threat.

Oh, I definitely agree with that. I was stumped as well. See my first post ITT. Lol

That’s him. Idk about above board. He does, supposedly, know things regarding the program. Frosty tips, yes. 🤣

You seriously think there’s a chance in this world that we have a roster of 7 players?

Nah, still some friends of Cal's with college-aged children. They be (preferred) walk-ons (With scholly's no doubt...) Could UK actually start setting a new trend? At least some of Cal's friends have daughters. They could sit the bench as team members. I mean, think outside the box, geez. Cal is still a trend-setter...

We will have a full roster just as we always do. We already have 2 more than we can play.
 
Can anyone recall, in the past, at this late date, Kentucky basketball only having 7 scholarship players and not many players left to choose from.

Just a glitch... watch for the "next" mantra from Cal. That should be the story. Will Cal come up with a new mantra? (Tune in next week, same Cat time, same Cat channel...)

"Less, is more..."

I agree. No way UK goes with 7 players as the roster. But UK just has to get some bodies at this point, right? I’m sure they can. Maybe some guys who pull out of the draft would be available. But other than that, how many more really good transfer portal players are left?

Still, UK is probably not going to be too picky at this point. Any transfer portal player who likely would have been a better college player than the freshmen for next season has either not been pursued or passed on UK (mostly not been pursued it seems to me). So now that all the 5-star freshmen have been basically assured a starting position – which, in my opinion, also basically assures that UK will not be a contender next season – then it should be safe to bring in 3-4 players for practice.
