I feel terrible for him and us. This was a great season until Butler went down and then him. I wanted him to go out playing well for us.
Kerr returning?
- Thread starter chasingwildcat
- Start date
I'd take him back in a heartbeat. And hope he performs well enough that he has to be on the court for significant minutes next year.
Say what you will about Kerr (I don't like his shot selection) but no one was questioning the team's energy and effort during the first nine games. We would know what we're getting, and Pope will know who he needs to go get. I'll be happy to have another returning player. I think his loooonnnnnggggg 3 pt attempts were at times when it didn't matter anyway.
I would love to be 25 years old (or 60 for that matter) and having my grad studies paid for, playing for the greatest team in college basketball history, and making more $$$ than I thought possible while doing it. I would laugh at those that didn't like it.

I think the plan is a top transfer pg and lewis will be his backup. Kriisa is okay but I prefer a combo guard that can do more than kriisa.
I could be embarrassed for $100K or so. Could also think of a lot worse ways to make six figures.
If we're rolling into next year with Kerr Kriisa being an impact player for us, that's bad news
That is my one main concern with him returning. And we already have Perry, who's not really a PG and not really a 2-guard. Two undersized combo guards that don't defend really well aren't exactly great pieces.
And I can’t imagine Kerr returning if he isn’t expecting big minutes. Lewis is too good to be the 3rd string pg, Kerr is not returning to be the 3rd string pg . I don’t believe we can be a serious contender with Kerr as our starting pg. I doubt we could be a serious contender with Lewis as our starting pg . Plus , foot injuries are a tricky thing and often show up again. IMO we have to bring in a starting portal pg . It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out.
Agreed. It's kind of messy, for sure. I'm like most others, just not really confident in Kerr and Lewis being the two PG options. I guess with Perry kinda/sorta being a third. Depth, sure. But kinda would like to see some serious top end talent there.
I'm not so sure, that Lewis will not be a winner in this system . When you go watch BYU last year and uk this year. Pope never had high end talent. He take average college players and put out a winning product. I'm really interested in watching how Lewis/ Johnson end up playing. A lot of hard explosive cuts out of zoom action will open our 3 point shooters up a lot more.
I think Lewis and Johnson are plenty talented enough, I just hate to depend on a freshman as my starting point guard.
I have been on this board for damn near 20 years and this is one of the weakest takes I have ever seen.
“We have to protect the game for 18 year olds so we shouldn’t welcome back a seasoned veteran who is legal to play”.
We don’t make the rules and this is professional basketball now. If Kerr wants to come back and make 6 figures to help our team, that is good for us. He will mentally wreck 95% of 18 year old PGs and I’m here for it.
The top teams have multiple guards that can both shoot and get to the rim. Auburn just spread us out this way even with playing two bigs. We need talented athletes to go to the next level, KK is not that.
I don't think it means anything, other than odds are he requests for a medical redshirt year.
He could then use it at UK or elsewhere.
I think him and Pope will discuss. If KK thinks he will be the lead PG then he may return, but if he thinks he won't be the lead PG, and he gets good NIL offers elsewhere, then I think he transfers.
