Kyle Tucker’s New Athletic Article: Livingston likely gone, Oscar still a maybe

There was a time, in fact, when Livingston’s camp was prepared to pull him out of school in the middle of the season, but he insisted on staying and finishing the season with his team. Thought this line from tuckers article was very interesting also. Klutch or whoever were trying to pull him out of the team mid season. I would be fine if Kentucky never dealed with klutch again. And on Oscar Tucker did say that Oscar did tell the staff he loves Lexington and would like to be back if he doesn’t stay in the draft
Well seems stupid to not transfer and go to a school that you believe will feature you .
 
His recent article sure didn’t instill tons of confidence except that we lead for the 25% 3pt shooting forward from SDSU.

Livingston all but gone. Oscar a maybe. Reeves likely back. Looking like 8 scholarship players right now.

TJ Beisner gone from his role — and WORST PART Bruiser Flint might be “elevated” to an Asst Coach again! (Cal just CANT stop hiring his cronies, can he?)

So HERE WE GO AGAIN heading into the season with unproven freshmen and a squad short several players….

Wonderful
Since he can't be fired...just have to learn to live with it or use my option. Don't watch. It's a damn shame what he's doing to this program.

I just don’t believe that the University of Kentucky doesn’t have a roster plan in place. It’s just that no one here is privy to those things and negative speculation is rampant.
My gut tells me Livingston is back as is Reeves.
Oscar’s decision will not surprise me either way.

UK will add 2-3 portal players and the roster is set for 2023-2024
Your gut telling you that Livingston is coming back is based off of what exactly?

Well Mitch Barnhart won’t let him hire an offensive coordinator like Kyle Tucker said. Drink the Kool Aid and buy the propaganda, it’s not Cal’s fault.
 
I'd gladly trade Livingston for this guy as long as he doesn't shoot many threes. Then we wouldn't have to cater to Livingston shooting threes next year and having a guy like this on defense would be excellent,.
We need bodies. Livingston in year 2 would be better.

WTF is Cal doing SMH. TJ was supposedly good, Bruiser is worthless:
 
Well we have 2 years of results to show where that leads

Bruiser as a recruiting assistant seems like a great idea, I can see him offering a recruit a stick of gum then yelling “Gum Chewing Competition” on a official visit. Hell it might distract the recruit from our terrible practice facilities.🤷‍♂️

The 25% 3 point shooter? You’re missing the point on that one . He would be replacing Livingston. We need a role player that brings toughness, experience and defense . Something that we will desperately need

Okay
 
Bradshaw won’t play the 5 spot.
Nobody knows for sure. All speculation right now. He supposedly said this and that. Bradshaw is the puppet master pulling all the strings. He may actually be or it might be made up. Who knows?

I do believe if that is our roster, that Bradshaw will end up at the 5 out of necessity. Cal may play him as a 4 and put Johnson in the post on offense and have Bradshaw patrol the paint on defense.

I just don’t think Onyenso will be ready to start next season. And with Onyenso and Bradshaw as the only guys over 6’8 on the team, both have to play the post some. Onyenso isn’t playing all 40 minutes at the 5.

Yeah I think people (myself included) have taken the Bradshaw quote way too literally since it first came out. We see players make comments like this about wanting to play certain positions all the time (most notable example is AD as he has repeatedly said in the past he prefers playing the 4 but has obviously played the 5 way more). I don’t think he’s the type of kid who will refuse to play the 5 if it’s clear it’s in the best interest of the team

Calipari doesn't have the current standing to piss on the program and do that. Flint needs to be sent packing. He wants out. My issue with the pushback is always "You guys never have...." well everyone on this forum has worked a job with someone who doesn't want to be there. How does that help business? The business won't grow at all and often doesn't even sustain-the remedy? Get rid of people who don't want to be part of what you do. This type of hire would just reinforce that Calipari doesn't want to be coaching and is just doing so to make money to pass down to family when he passes on.

Flint is a debacle. I can't hide the laughter how awkward he was when he was "greeting" Robert Dillingham when he made the visit with Antigua. That was golfer high fiving caddie bad. It also was a perfect representation of how out of place Flint is in a job like Kentucky where you have to carry yourself in a manner that is about everything he's not. Sickening he's being considered for any job since he doesn't want to be here nor does he bring anything to help get this program back where it needs to be.
So, not only is Cal GRIFTING the program by "half _ssing it" so is his CRONY assistant!!!

I am SOOOOOO sick of Cal USING UK Basketball for anything BUT winning championships!!!

SAD
 
Projected Starters:

G Wagner
G Reeves
G Edwards
F Johnson*
F Bradshaw

Reserves:

G Dillingham
F Onyenso
G Sheppard
G Thiero

Need at least one more guy, even if Johnson signs with us.
Bill Self will see this lineup and immediately start trying to have the game cancelled with UK.

Doesn’t really matter, the top 7 or so are getting starter minutes. Don’t get too torn up about who starts and who doesn’t. The starting lineup will likely change throughout the year.
LoL. They’ll be so much crying and whining come starting lineup time from The Bennies that it will be like fingernails on a chalkboard.
 
How so? There’s no more Wheeler as his point guard. And mod major talent guys like Toppin and Fredbrick are gone.
I'm just saying we have had 2 years with Oscar , he does great with stats , hes been a lone shining star , but we haven't won anything with him . Nothing . and the NCAAT results are crap . It takes a ton more to win than a great rebounder with Cal on the sidelines .

You don’t know that. Reeves shouldn’t come off the bench. Especially if you’re one that says we need Shooter’s
WE know the team needs shooters. But does Cal? It seems like all of his recent teams only have one knockdown shooter and when he inevitably goes cold one game in the NCAAT, we are toast.
