Official "BIG NEWS" Thread

The easy answer is Oscar returning. I have to think its bigger than that. I will say either Sharpe returns or we get a big commitment. Hopefully nothing about the silly uniforms.
Who would be the big commitment? I'm genuinely asking.
 
Cal loves giving one guy the “spotlight” for the day…so going with Oscar back but Oscar being the selfless human being he is maybe O and Sharpe will announce together…fingers crossed.

I agree….Oscar will “model” the new uniform by walking out and declaring he is back.
I think something like this too. Sharpe coming back would obviously be huge but seems odd he’d do that before even talking to the nba and I still would be surprised if he does return. I mean, if I was top ten projected pick, I’d still play for kentucky but that’s only because I’m from here.
 
Some here will inevitably express unreasonable disappointment if the "huge news" is *just* Oscar returning. Meanwhile, it's the unanimous National Player of the Year and all-time great for the program. His return, alone, is a massive reason to celebrate.
I don't think the issue would be that folks aren't excited that he's back. I think it would be that it's kind of been a given over the past few days and a major announcement for it, when it's already basically known, would be somewhat of a letdown.
 
It almost seems like it's Sharpe or Miller just based on the info out there so far
Apparently there's a national media member in town that would announce whatever it is, there wouldn't be a national media member to talk about new uniforms.
The fact that it would 'surprise some' (according to Matt Jones) doesn't allude to Oscar returning,, he said the other day it's 99% he would return, so who is that surprising exactly?
Reeves said he would announce in May, plus that wouldn't exactly qualify as big things happening in Lexington

Miller.
 
Yea you would be wrong. A returning National player of the year is about as big of news you can get for a basketball program.
Again, I'm not saying that having the NPOY return isn't major news. The point I am making is that is has been whispered, rumored, and almost guaranteed by many around the program that Oscar was returning. I don't think a national media member comes to town for that kind of situation. I am not downplaying the return of Oscar.

Yeah, I don’t see the national media coming to town just to announce for ANY player.
 
Who is the major national media person?
