Is this Dabo Sweeney?Agreed. But still the portal experiment should end.
Even being glad we have those guys.

That dude to whom you responded is dumber than a box of rocks. Encourage everyone to add it/they/them/xe to their ignore lists.(He says as he cheers on Antonio Reeves and Tre Mitchell who we certainly would not be Top-10 without)
Interesting but we would still have plenty of ships, take Knox too. Can never have too much talent on the bench.
Another year won’t increase his speed or athleticism though. He may learn better defensive principles but he could learn that with individual pro instruction everyday.Sheppard not quick enough for the NBA; would be an absolute defensive liability. Needs at least another year of college basketball.
While quick is valued, it is not primary. There are plenty of SMART players that add value to the team. JJ Reddick is still playing and was in the same vein as Reed. EDIT: replace JJ with famous-flopper Grayson Allen.Sheppard not quick enough for the NBA; would be an absolute defensive liability. Needs at least another year of college basketball.
JJ did win NPOY right? He also played like 15 years in the league. I’d be pretty hyped to get that comparison. Reed could be better but Reddick was good.Meh. He’s a much better prospect than JJ ever was. JJ was a great shooter, that’s about it. Reed can do it all.
I get what Cotown is saying though . They don’t have a similar playing style at all and Reed is a better defender than JJ. Reed is also a better playmaker than JJ.JJ did win NPOY right?

That was around the time UK started to get seriously involved and word is we picked up a lot of steam quickly. It just feels like the Duke lock stuff died down when we came in.Honest question. Who else is saying UK for VJ? Haven’t seen that anywhere. All Crystal balls still say Duke albeit they are from November and all Duke insiders. Was just curious where the chatter to UK is coming from.
Marc Maggard hasn’t had any real “inside” info since Billy Clyde was the coach .
A ship. Oh, a scholarship...I get it. You. Are. Cool.Interesting but we would still have plenty of ships, take Knox too. Can never have too much talent on the bench.
He might end up wrong here but this is false . He kept saying Wagner was coming to UK . He kept saying Rob would play at Kentucky and at the time there was doubt on both on this board and on social media .He’s already walking it back on Twitter. That dude is a moron who knows nothing. If he says VJ is coming I take that as a negative because he has literally been wrong on everything since he reemerged from hiding.
Where????? At the YMCA?JJ Reddick is still playing.....
I'll take Tre Mitchell all day long but generally, can't disagree.Hell with the portal. We don’t need anyone’s washouts.
I said this exact thing on twitter and got flamed by people saying hes gone no matter what.He won’t ever be a top 5 pick. He doesn’t have the measurables the NBA covets.
If he is a guaranteed lottery, he might leave. Still, the kid is being mentioned as the next JJ Reddick. You don’t invest a lottery pick in trying to get the next Reddick. You use a late 1st round pick or 2nd round pick to gamble on that type of player.
And this kid is different. He’s not a hardship case. He bleeds blue. His parents bleed blue. He came in expecting to graduate from UK. He doesn’t need the money. His long term worth increases the longer he plays in the Bluegrass.
He may go, but it’s not a guarantee like with Wagner, Edwards, Bradshaw, and Dillingham. Those guys arrived knowing they were there for one year and they aren’t changing that plan regardless.
Sheppard is not the same type of kid as those guys. He’ll seriously consider returning.
Have you been following the Duke recruits trend lately. They literally have their recruits throw love at UK right before picking Duke to troll UK fansWell, he went from a duke lock to not a duke lock. He also retweeted the Richmond UK commitment. Just feels like UK.
He owes it to UK for his medical year he wasted this year by getting injured. Come back and compete, then if he doesn’t play he can go. Would be interesting to see him back, but he wants to play.No way Ugo comes back to sit the bench.
At this point I could give two sh*ts about recruiting next year. He is going to land who he needs...recruiting is back where it was previously.
We need a natty bad in BBN.
Really pulling for Cal and these guys and that is where all my headspace is now. Said it dozens of times before but Cal is too damn good to be a 1 title coach. He knows it and so do his fans and critics.
Yeah it’s not like a portal guy scored 30 points Thursday and another one had 14 or 15 points as wellHell with the portal. We don’t need anyone’s washouts.
No idea if he has any inside information or not, just leery of him after all of the stunts he has pulled in the past, and suddenly re-emergesHe’s already walking it back on Twitter. That dude is a moron who knows nothing. If he says VJ is coming I take that as a negative because he has literally been wrong on everything since he reemerged from hiding.
Thank. You.A ship. Oh, a scholarship...I get it. You. Are. Cool.
Yeah I put zero stock in MeManBoy Maggard. But it does seem to be trending that Edgecomb may prefer us now.5 days ago says Knox will be at UK
Today - Knox won’t be at UK. This dude is a complete and total clown.
Yeah, I totally agree. But Maggard has no sources and no clue what he’s talking about. He’s just putting it out there so he can claim to have been on it early.Yeah I put zero stock in MeManBoy Maggard. But it does seem to be trending that Edgecomb may prefer us now.
Nah, 19 people disagree with you in this thread already.Agreed. But still the portal experiment should end.

JJ got his shot off quick and while moving. He had an NBA level skill.I get what Cotown is saying though . They don’t have a similar playing style at all and Reed is a better defender than JJ. Reed is also a better playmaker than JJ.
Nope. My first time! 🤣Have you been following the Duke recruits trend lately. They literally have their recruits throw love at UK right before picking Duke to troll UK fans
Give me the year’s lineup and I’m happy. This has been a fun ride so far.Idk if Reed returns but if he does he would be the best player in college basketball. Give me a lineup of
Starters:
Boogie
Reed
VJ
Adou
JQ
Bench:
Somto
Richmond
Perry
Ugo (possibly)
Throw a couple of transfer on that team and that’ll do.
Yeah that’s why I said their games are different . Redick was good coming off picks . Redick was a legend Im just saying they don’t play alike at all .JJ got his shot off quick and while moving. He had an NBA level skill.
Legend is a strong word for JJ RedickYeah that’s why I said their games are different . Redick was good coming off picks . Redick was a legend Im just saying they don’t play alike at all .
Or he is saying because Knox is dragging his feet other recruits are not, and there is only so many minutes.5 days ago says Knox will be at UK
Today - Knox won’t be at UK. This dude is a complete and total clown.
