Oscar on espn2 right now

[Woodrow_Call_1998]

He threw his hands up and told Hunter he would have to figure NIL out. Gave him no direction. That’s Cal's own words, not mine.

Dang really?

Dang really?

I didn't hear that.Just that he told him he couldn't guarantee an NIL number.

If Chuck Hayes can play 10 years in the league, how can anyone doubt Oscar.

But Chuck Hayes didn't get drafted. Chuck played four seasons at UK, went undrafted and then worked his way up from the D League.

I selfishly want Oscar to return to UK next season. But if Oscar keeps averaging 16 rpg in 17 minutes of playing time against the purported best of the upcoming best during the Combine Games...

As this process has progressed, Kentucky Coach John Calipari has remained in close contact. Calipari, who made it clear earlier this month that he would love to coach Tshiebwe for a third season, has been working his contacts in the NBA to gauge the 23-year-old’s draft stock, then passing that info along to his star player. “We talk all the time. And they know everything (I’m doing),” Tshiebwe said of the UK coaches. “And he’s honest with me.” Calipari’s message: If Tshiebwe gets a “great opportunity,” he should leave. If not, he’ll return to Kentucky, and the coaching staff will work up a plan for the 2023-24 season to help him progress in the areas the NBA wants to see him improve.

I hope he comes back. I think it’s crazy that we have fans that don’t.

Btw this article indicates the enormous amount of OT's UK NIL revenue.
While official numbers aren’t public, the Herald-Leader has been told that Tshiebwe earned about $4 million through name, image and likeness opportunities this past season, a total that he could likely replicate with a return to UK and one that he’d be hard-pressed to beat as a pro next season.

Oscar come home!It sounds like it's best for both sides.

 

[track42]

If Oscar and Reeves would return and we add Johnson that would be a very good roster.

 

[UKAlum88]

Where, in my post, did I say anything about me putting my/any trust in Calipari?

Wanting Oscar gone because you think a better player is coming along says it, you don’t have to! 😉

Lol wrong

 

[trueblujr2]

He is consistently hitting jumpers today though, he showcases that and he will get drafted

He consistently made jumpers from around 15' and in when he was here. Range beyond that is what's suspect.

He was hitting corner 3s and 18-20 footers so that’s a good sign he may be league bound

If Oscar and Reeves would return and we add Johnson that would be a very good roster.

Which is why we should all simply wait and see what happens. Obviously, this is a message board and people can say and speculate however much they want to. If Oscar and Reeves come back, plus adding Johnson, would that suddenly mean Cal hasn't just been sitting on his hands in the portal? We do have to give him and the coaching staff credit for the incoming recruits as well as re-recruiting guys back to Lexington if that in fact happens.

May 31 is right around the corner, and pretty much all these questions will be answered then.

I wanted Oscar gone? Where did I say that and where did I say I put my trust in Calipari?

You're just full of made up accusations.

 

[kyjeff1]

Lol wrong

Oh, well, I'm glad you worked do hard to prove that. Eyeroll.

Quit trying to be rational . . .

“See post 122 for your answer. Oscar has generational rebounding stats, other than that, he’s a below par athlete, a terrible defender and a below average shooter. What are these great stats you're trying to pass off?” -Jeff in another thread


That isn’t someone I would want in my team but you’re saying you want the guy you described??? You would not be a good coach! 😊

That was a discussion about top 10 UK players of all time. What a joke you are.
In what way does that mean I don't want him at UK?
Facts are facts. He’s a below the rim player that doesn't move well laterally and he is a poor rim protector.
Would you rather I lie and act like those things aren't true?
That was a poor attemp at twisting my words.

Dang really?

Actually, while eating a donut on the treadmill he told Dickinson to “go f**k himself” on his visit
