MJ On Post Game: Kerr May Not Be Back Next Year

[yoshukai]

Chandler is tied to Pope 1000%. At least for one more year, minimum.

How do you know this ?

I think the jump for Chandler to his sophomore season in Pope's system will be lightning-like. He's very athletic, good passer, can spell duties at PG. And I see nasty putback dunks from him.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Wish him the best. Not much playing time for him at the 1 next season between pg starter portal guy, Lewis and perry and even JJ if needed.

who cares not really a difference maker

 

[bucsrule8872]

The only two players I feel confident they will for sure be back is Perry and Noah. They are Kentucky kids who dreamed of playing for the Cats and have played way more than they expected this season. They’ll be back.

Who knows about the rest?

Hopefully his fiancé will like Lexington more than Richie Saunders wife . But if you are a devote Mormon ……..Utah is the place to be .

Everyone should explore the NBA $$$
Everyone should explore the transfer portal $$$
Where does it end? Everyone should explore the $$$ in high school? We don't need cheerleading for this kind of thing.

Yeah I'm not one to bitch about people earning money but getting paid to score 8 points with 3 turnovers and 2 rebounds isn't what I'd consider worth it. NIL can suk it as far as I'm concerned.

free agent every year thats the new college thing

 

[FitchandMurray29]

I honestly don’t care if Kerr is back next year, he’s just an experienced replacement level guard.

It has been a loss for this years team to have him out. But in the long run it’ll be valuable for Perry to become a contributor in the future.

College basketball is just 1 year free agency contracts. Last offseason Kerr(and Garrison for that matter) made sense for their contracts/roles. For next season they won’t. So they’ll move on but really it’ll be us moving on from them.

Avoid the door hitting your split. Tired of this crap! Want to leave? Best for you to leave? Frigging leave.

But it's cool if they left elsewhere to come to the team you like. 👍

Bingo. I hope the whole thing crashes and burns.

 

[ralphdaltonfan]

Know the staff has to be concerned with the Portal/etc...but honestly I am more interested when Butler/Robinson return and then this year's team can at least compete to be a damn good team. That's the focus I'm more concerned about and if Kriisa wants out--good from my perspective. He's vastly overrated because he wears a head band and yells/waves his arms. Missed on this year's team? Sure. Be better than Kerr--that's Pope's challenge next year. This league is too much for the slow footed guards--you can't have too many or you will be killed.

That's an outstanding point. Hypocrisy reigns Supreme as always.

You see any particular guys Pope will go after?

 

[JFCats22]

Only guys I think might return are Oweh, Noah and Perry. Everyone else is gone until I hear them say otherwise.

 

[catfan220]

I would be shocked if Perry of Noah left. Chandler I could see leaving, but I think he’ll stay. Would love to get 4 years from those three.

I wonder with all the money BYU is throwing around if there’s any chance they try to poach Chandler. We’ll see

Kerr is what you get when you mix Richie Farmer and Freddy Mercury, and then throw in a couple of Red Bulls.

 

[catfan220]

Thoughts?

He said that another time recently on the morning show, and that he’s heard St Johns is a team to watch for him. I find that odd as he wouldn’t seem to fit the defensive blueprint Pitino has going there but maybe RP is looking for some offense off the bench.

I'll have to wait to see who enters the Portal. There will be plenty he and UK will go after. Will be more interested to see who returns to see how many spots need to be filled. They have to get quicker/more athletic in the backcourt. You can talk of playing a system/style of play but when most teams incorporate athletic/fast guards, you better have guys who can stop them. Everyone thinks offensively and ignores the ability to defend the ball. You can't be a good defensive team if you can't stop the ball or stay in front of people. Breaks everything down.

Gotta love the Freddy Mercury reference. That one had me laughing. Sucked to watch a short handed team (again) tonight but didn't expect a win against Bama on the road so at least we can have a laugh and some fun. Appreciate it as it was needed.

For sure! I’m just glad that there is now tape of what Pope can do at UK. Will be nice to have that going into the portal season
