I don't claim to know what is going on with Reeves
but some of the posts here don't seem to recognize what happened last season
Reeves was not utilized, first Cal insisted on a big line up and then he continued to play Reeves behind CJ as the shooter.
One could argue differently, but It took Wheeler getting moved to the bench, Cason AND CJ getting hurt before Cal depended on Reeves with serious minutes and even then Cal wouldn't commit to playing him. He was still trying to figure out ways to get Ware, Thiero, Collins and Livingston out there (which I'm not arguing Cal shouldn't have done - it just that it was so random, so without a bigger plan).
I think the primary issue is Cal's lack of faith or commitment to giving Reeves a consistent role is the biggest driver, and with his freshmen coming in, Reeves will have to go thru the exact same thing. Cal is going to give those Freshmen multiple chances to fail, along with losses, while Reeves is on the bench swiping right on his phone.
I can easily see a situation where Reeves is saying, yea, I'll come back, but you're going to have to pay me a boatload of money to sit on the bench watching another shxxshow of a season while Cal tries to figure out how to coach a team. Meanwhile he is also seeing Cal go all in on Dickson while essentially telling a NPOY and 15 rpg guy that we can take or leave him coming back.
While I hate the mercenary mentality of kids that come to Kentucky, in Reeves case, I don't really blame him.
