According to them their sources are saying Dickinson has said he wants to be at Kentucky but he will not if Oscar returns. Kentucky is hoping from a final decision this week. Thoughts? And who would you rather have?

And he is also pretty damn good in pick and roll defense.Dickinson. He shot 42% from 3. He’s not undersized at the position defensively, and he can play outside the paint, and won’t clog the driving lanes on offense.
Yeah one tournament win in 2 years. Don't know if Dickinson is the answer but obviously Oscar is not.Oscar
Yeah this sounds like pure message board nonsense and spin.Sounds like another unfounded rumor that’s just going to make people mad when he signs with Maryland.
They aren't "just telling him no". In the posted scenario they are asking him for a decision so they can build a roster, he gets first choice. Can't wait all summer.I don't think it's as easy as picking who you'd rather have. If Oscar wants to come back, you can't just tell him no. I'd def be on him to make a decision though.
I was about to say...perfect world, I'd take Dickinson over Oscar 10/10 times if I'm the coach. If Cal's the coach I'm taking Oscar. The versatility and offensive production of Dickinson is his best skill and Cal wouldn't utilize that at all.What a world. People wanting Dickinson over Oscar.
Even if it was a good point, you think Cal is going to let Dickinson reign threes???
Are most of you in junior high?
So, I’m gonna throw out a wild ass analogy that is just ludicrous enough you might get the point.Yeah one tournament win in 2 years. Don't know if Dickinson is the answer but obviously Oscar is not.
It's not a bad either/or decision to have.Dickinson. He shot 42% from 3. He’s not undersized at the position defensively, and he can play outside the paint, and won’t clog the driving lanes on offense.
What's with the Dickinson infatuation? Dude is a serviceable big man in college but there's a reason he's spent this many years at the college level.
Granted he's a top ranked transfer portal player but I've heard rumblings about locker room issues at UM. Dickinson is undoubtedly a talented center option but what impact would he have regarding the current roster?
Personally, I'm not sold on his fit considering the incoming freshmen. I think he wants to be a focal point wherever he goes. At this point, I'm more inclined to convince Oscar of a lesser/different role than bringing Dickinson in the fold.
Agree, he is 100 percent going to Georgetown, Villanova, Maryland, or going back to MichiganDickinson isn’t going to be at UK. It’s a cash grab for him to mention/use UK.
The center position does not win or loose a bb game by himself.Yeah one tournament win in 2 years. Don't know if Dickinson is the answer but obviously Oscar is not.
Oscar gives you the toughness that a freshmen team lacks. Remember the 9-16 team?You also have to think about how each fits with the roster next year. If I'm starting from scratch, I'm maybe going with Dickinson because he's more proven offensively.
But with all the stars coming in next year, I think Oscar's rebounding tenacity might be the biggest help to guys like DJ and Edwards. Plus, it's pretty clear to me Oscar would be much more open to taking a back seat role in the offense.
I think Oscar might be a better fit for what we have next year.
But Cal will not do that. His overarching mission is to get kids in the NBA. It's his middle finger to the game of college basketball and to the NBA. The guy has perverted what it means to be a college basketball coach. Cal has also made it clear that he does not want to be bothered with managing more than 5-7 guys in-game. That's why we're not really seeing much action with the portal or players like Livingston and Oscar. When he made that comment awhile back that he wasn't going to let his bench hold him hostage, he wasn't kidding.I find that hard to believe, I think Dickinson is staying in the DMV area, but if he wants to come you do honestly have to push Oscar for a decision, you have to build a roster
Ha...he will probably be lucky to shoot one 3 per game with Cal as coach. We all know he will be told to stay in the paint.Dickinson. He shot 42% from 3. He’s not undersized at the position defensively, and he can play outside the paint, and won’t clog the driving lanes on offense.
You can tell Oscar that he doesn’t have a spot on the team unless he is willing to come off the bench. His Scholarship is year to year.I don't think it's as easy as picking who you'd rather have. If Oscar wants to come back, you can't just tell him no. I'd def be on him to make a decision though.
This is a great observation, wish Cal was as invested in putting the right pieces together and winning basketball games at UK as some on the board.You also have to think about how each fits with the roster next year. If I'm starting from scratch, I'm maybe going with Dickinson because he's more proven offensively.

he had a zoom meeting with Kentucky, who knows what goes on behind closed doors. If Oscar leaves then obviously Dickinson is the best option. If Oscar returns then so be it, honestly if these rumors are true it’s a win win situationHe just visited Georgetown was going to or will visit Maryland, and has an OV scheduled for Kansas this upcoming weekend so unless there is more misinformation out there (believable) this is what the title of thread stated; "KSR Rumor".
Agree and more rest if Ugo does come back. How about use the bench if he can't move his feet on the pnr.I'd rather have Oscar back but just not having offense run through him. Good point was brought up on one of the shows I listen too...forget which, but nonetheless, go watch UK vs Duke (Oscar's first game)....that's how I want Oscar to get his points if he comes back.
Offense ran through him hardly ever if at all. He scored off rebounding and cleaning up. Give me that version of UK BB. Let the guards go to work.
