Keshad Johnson visiting Kentucky today
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
Yeah, I expect a lot of announcements today. And a lot of commitments in the next 7-10 days after that.
I get criticizing Cal but some of the stuff on here is mind boggling .
Why go onto another fanbase’s website to share negative speculation? I’ve heard UNC sucks.
Assume this is Johnson but really the first positive roster addition development in a while. UK always made the most sense for Johnson IF he was comfortable being on the other side of the country. If not, Arizona was logical. Should get time at the 4 and some 3 to get near his past 20 MPG on the biggest stage before starting an overseas/G League pro career.
Saw a crystal ball pick for UK last night. But that always happens immediately after a visit. Confidence rating was 7.5/10 from that person, whose name escapes me now.
He's a no-brainer if we can get him. Saying Livingston in year 2 is a better option is just absolutely laughable.
Why is it laughable? I'd take a 2nd-year Livingston over this kid. People like you just move the narrative goalposts depending on what looks favorable. There's no way you'd take Johnson over Livingston is Chris was locked in for another year at Kentucky. Just admit it.
I'd like to have this kid but not if it pushes some higher ceiling guy away. Maybe it's a good thing he's waiting a week giving us a chance to land a higher ceiling guy. Or could be bad if we don't wind up with anything.
I’d take a second year Livingston too if he actually would want to be here, but Johnson isn’t a terrible fallback option either
Yeah he looked good in the tourney last season.Would be a really nice pick up.
Hope he is a Wildcat in the end! Could use a experience player for Johnson's lock down D and Final 4 experience.
Yep. Him over Livingston would be solid. Livingston doesn’t want to be here and has been deluded by his handlers.
Plus Livingston does nothing any better than this kid
Doesn't rebound as well
Give me Johnson over Livingston all day! This kid is a baller and KNOWS HOW TO WIN!
I'd still take Livingston but it's a razor thin margin, this kid is such an elite defender and so versatile, I would absolutely LOVE to land him.
Perfect role/complimentary piece to our NBA studs and Reeves.
Get Reeves and Oscar back, land this kid, and we're COOKING.

Yep! We get BIG O and Reeves back to go with either and I think we are ready for anyone! Excited to watch our Cats in July!
It's the time regarding lack of players, you take who WANTS TO BE HERE out of your options. I don't blame a guy like Chris Livingston for wanting to explore the NBA options for himself and wish him well, he was a good teammate from all accounts and he played his butt off to help get this team to NCAA Tournament when it appeared it was a lost season after 14 games.
That said--when you can get a 6'8 forward who played in National Championship game and had 14 pts and was contributing in variety of ways-you take that everyday of the week. He's a replacement for Jacob Toppin's role but has more winning experience and this program needs it-specifically from the older players on the roster.

Couldn’t agree more! Johnson is a proven winner and has major experience! That would definitely prove beneficial to our young squad.
I’ll be happy to get to the end of this month so we know who we need to replace 100%. That way we may see some kinda movement.
I can’t believe we have a picture of Shady Sharpe in the practice facility, if that don’t show that Cal doesn’t GAF nothing will.
I think he's essential to help bailout Oscar on D frankly.
Hope we get him. Watched both SDSU games in Louisville and he stood out.
Regarding Livingston, the Combine is from the 16th to the 18th next week. Livingston will know what he's going to do by then. Also, Johnson will know enough by the 20th, which is when he makes a decision. I'm sure that's partly why it's pushed to Saturday.
