Now that it looks like Reeves is gone what guards are left?

- Start date
Kyle Tucker just said the next few days are looking dire for Uk's roster.
Well duhhh, why would NBA guys have anything negative to say about Cal? Those kids were given special treatment at UK and put in front of the program so they could get the best possible exposure.
The guys that didn't make it, or had to find their own path to the next level, surely have plenty to say, but they have nothing to gain by going public at that point.
You and Bass love to play ignorant and demand proof of things that are very obviously true, but you act like we personally know these players. You know that's the only way one would have proof.
Wenyen and Fletcher did have plenty to say though.
Cal might get his wish of 5 freshman and no depth
Kansas and duke can somehow get dudes back and Kentucky can’t
The Cal era is over. There's no tricks, no hidden recruitments, no surprise commitments on ESPN, no snarky Cal winking emoji tweets. We will show up, lose our 17 games and get out of there.
Maybe that’s exactly what he told them?
Cal knows what he’s doing.
He has over 800 wins. He’s taken every school he’s coached to the FF.
And now for your coaching resume?
I would say that Gabriel was the only player who "openly" criticized Calipari.
And, of course, we can criticize players. But, if we criticize players, we must also criticize coaches...a two-way street. Plus, it's not an indictment on the coach to say some players don't like his coaching style. Reeves may very well be one of those players. Who knows?
Guards? We’ve at least got some.
I’m more worried about big men.
We currently have two bigs on the roster. And one reportedly wants to play on the perimeter.
Cal needs to be focusing on getting some size to go with the talented guards/wings he has coming in.

Some of ya'll are wild.
We're watching the entire program collapse before our eyes, and you continue to defend this nuclear disaster.
We don't run an offense: Cal can't score for them.
We don't have a team: Cal can't force them to commit.
David Jones from St. John’s now a name to monitor according to HOB. Seems like a very nice prospect.
I really wouldn’t be surprised if Dillingham, Wagner, Edwards, and Sheppard form the rotation at the 1-3 spots. Reeves leaving probably means more minutes for Shep.
I want to believe this badly. Just hard for me to picture a scenario in which Livingston returns to UK. Just doesn’t seem like it’s in the cards.
THIS! Seems like we are getting absolutely hammered with NIL.
Those two are way ahead of Kentucky now unfortunately and have coaches willing to play the game with transfer players and freshman and do whatever it takes to get them. Duke got all there roster stuff done early In the offseason and are loaded, Kansas is willing to work with these players and will not tell them up front we aren’t giving you money but you can earn it. Our warning sign should have been when Dickinson said it was risk going to Kentucky
He doesn't fit, unless he wants to be a bench player. He's not taking Edwards' minutes and Cal is going to start Bradshaw and it won't matter if Bradshaw is better or not.
Ain't no way Chris is interested in coming off the bench. Not happening.
This isn't about team accomplishments, it's all about individual play and goals, which is why our record has been so bad the last few years.
“The 6-foot-6 wing struggled in his one season in Queens with consistency and shot selection, scoring 13.2 points a game on 39.2 percent shooting.” And 29% on 3’s.

Those NBA stars who you seem to resent, helped UK win one championship under Cal. They also helped UK get in anothet championship game and make it I believe to 4 Final Fours under Cal. Some of the pkayers you claim should resent Cal have failed after leaving and going to other programs. They simply were not good enough to play at UK. I believe only 1 of them has had any NBA success. All of them I'm sure wanted to play in the NBA.
The players who may be disgruntled were not good enough to play at UK. The fact that almost none of them has even played 1 game in the NBA is an indication of that fact.
Has he been to every other school to prove your point? Maybe he knows and just keeping it to himself. Maybe he and Cal both know and are enjoying watching the heads explode. Maybe he is waiting to see what someone is doing 10 transfers away, like house purchase contingencies. Maybe he is waiting for a nIL deal to be signed. Maybe maybe maybe. Bottom line is none of that is any of our business. We’ll know when we know.
They also contributed to the worst season in program history, worst NCAAT loss in program history, worst home loss and a God awful record against ranked teams.
Now, I'll ask you, what is the trend right now? Are we just now coming off a title, or are we in the middle of the worst stretch in UK history?
That title was 11 years ago, take a good hard look at where this program is right now.
The one-and-done players in that losing season were overrated. Some of those players also left high school a year early because they were eligible. Most blue blood programs had serious problems during that year.
Gabriel plays with the Lakers now. I'm beginning to understand the comments about you.
Wenyen Gabriel Statistics
Gabriel is a bench player who doesn't play much. I said almost none of those guys have played 1 game in the NBA. Gabriel is one of I believe 2 exceptions.
CBB Roundup "heard" about it by reading the negative nancies on this message forum.
Your right man, my bad anything Kentucky related I just won’t post it’s not like it’s a Kentucky message board
Excuses excuses, that's all you Cal fans do.
At 9 million a year, Cal should be able to decipher between who is good and who is not. Cal had Askew reclass to come run pg… .at Kentucky. Then he followed that up with 2 years of Wheeler.
It's on Cal, no matter how you shake it. If he gets credit for Wall, AD, Townes, Randle, KAT and Fox, then he gets credit for the ones that sucked too.
You just want everyone to look at what Cal accomplished and ignore all the failures, well, that's your job, the rest of us (minus UKBBALL4life, Bass and KL) will talk about reality.
