Official "BIG NEWS" Thread

[JimboBBN]

Is today w/in Miller's timeline to commit? Haven't followed that one closely until lately. I don't know much about the kid or his process.

 

[stuway]

Oscar staying and Miller incoming. Sharpe to test waters not hire an agent.

 

[J-Ryan]

Matt just said he got a text to turn on SportsCenter at 12:15 ET

The plot thickens.

Ohhhhh my gossshhhhhh

 

[drainthatub]

I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s Cal leaving. Probably not happening, but. I wouldn’t be shocked. I would be surprised. But not shocked

I’m starting to think this, but not sure MJ would refer to it as “good news”, probably just big news.

Miller.

 

[tylerwoods22]

How about Oscar comes out in the new uniforms and announces his return?

I think combo of Oscar returning and uniforms.

 

[Wildcats1st]

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

If it’s happening in lex it’s sharpe or Oscar: doubtful any Miller commit news would come from campus nor news on a transfer. It could be other guys returning too. Big wheeler news

 

[JimboBBN]

Ohhhhh my gossshhhhhh

Typically recruits don't pick on ESPN or TV unless its a scheduled conference, right? You can throw away most of the commitment ideas.

 

[Creed Bratton]

They offered Cal a second lifetime contract.

Maybe they are announcing the lifetime contract can be passed down to Brad?

 

[Larry Skaggs]

KSBar & Grille will be named as the official bar & grille of UK Athletics and will be operating in Rupp Arena and Commonwealth Stadium

 

[wildcatglenn]

Oscar is getting a lifetime contract!

I was thinking the same thing myself too, but it's been almost known for a few days at least that Oscar's almost definitely going to return, so it almost leads me to to believe it's Sharpe but I don't want to get my hopes up

 

[CatPhight]

Secretary of Defense returneth...

 

[Untouchables22]

Who is the major national media person?

No info….but I think strong chance it’s Dickie V

 

[Elliott Tim]

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.

I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s Cal leaving. Probably not happening, but. I wouldn’t be shocked. I would be surprised. But not shocked

I wouldn't be shocked at anything at this point. Expect the unexpected.
Would be funny if it's announced that facilities are being updated.

Oscar officially returning would be huge cbb news. For UK fans we are kinda taking it for granted based on what we hear locally. Sharpe would be the best news given oscar is already in the bag for next year

 

[GuyFromKY]

Rupp Arena is changing it's name to Calipari Coliseum

OT returns to give Shows another chance to foul him out.

If Reeves did not already at least verbal, he is probably waiting on Sharpe decision.

Cal is leaving and Coach K is coming out of retirement to accept the Head Coaching job at UK. 🤣

 

[SpamburgerHamburger]

Oscar is getting a lifetime contract!

 

[EliteBlue]

Reeves commit
Miller Commit
Sharpe returning
Oscar returning

I’d love a mass press conference with all the news at once. We need a marketing boost to make us the CBB topic of conversation in a positive light for a few weeks

 

[bdroshek]

Being announced on Sportscenter makes me think Oscar coming back.

Is this legit? Did not see on Matts Twitter

 

[Sejonesy]

It’s Oscar. Sportscenter just led with a teaser on it!

 

[RunninRichie]

13 minutes

 

[cmallory4121]

Something happening on ESPN at 12:15

 

[J-Ryan]

Oscar will officially be on sports center in a few minutes…

 

[RunninRichie]

 

[JFCats22]

 

[MWes11]

Yep. Looking like Oscar decision at 12:15.

 

[JonathanW]

Cal is leaving and Coach K is coming out of retirement to accept the Head Coaching job at UK. 🤣

Lol.
Actually he is who I wanted instead of Pitino or PJ Carlessimo or L.Olsen in the late 80's.

 

[drainthatub]

Yawn

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Is this legit? Did not see on Matts Twitter

he said it on the radio

 

[RunninRichie]

Yawn

Yawn? NPOY possibly returning for a senior year to lead us to a title and it’s a yawn? lmfao

 

[JimboBBN]

If it’s Oscar back that’s huge but didn’t we all expect it at this point?

 

[Creed Bratton]

I am insanely happy he is back but we still have some holes to fill to be a final four contender.

 

[GuyFromKY]

If it’s Oscar back that’s huge but didn’t we all expect it at this point?

Yes

 

[JFCats22]

If it’s Oscar back that’s huge but didn’t we all expect it at this point?

Doesn’t make it any less huge. People can’t be pleased and it’s pretty pathetic.
