Or maybe the mods could give me my account back that I had for a decade and they perma-banned for being anti Cal before it was cool?
Pump the brakes on Dillingham playing next year

I could see him deciding to play for the G-League or continue with OTE for an actual paycheck but I do not buy any issues with Academics eligibility. I took Kerwin to school about his claims that non-accredited HS students couldn't be accepted into UK or most other colleges and will stand by that I still believe, at least on the academics side that he will be fine.
Yeah he's not coming here.It's been known by many for a time now.
Respectfully disagree. Give me talent over experience, especially if Cal is still the coach.
Just reading the tea leaves I think it will be more surprising if dilingham ever plays here vs not
Really frustrating. No good way out of this mess we are in.
Cal continues to destroy the program and some still support him.
If he doesn't play here next year, I'll chug a beer out of a shoe.
Honestly, not sure if Dillingham is what we want anyways. He’s 160lbs. He’s a little boy. He can’t match up physically with these 20 some year olds in the tournament. Yes he’s super quick. But he also shot 33% from the field this yr, as well as 33% from 3. Do we really want someone like that ? Less freshman and get some guys to come back as well as a couple proven and older transfers
So good enough that the G League wants him but not good enough for UK?
So Cal took another Sharpe gamble and it blew up in his face.Shocking.
So if Dillingham didn't do what he needed to stay eligible that's on the college coach that he has yet to play for?
Give me a break. Plenty to bash cal over but not this if true.
I enjoy Rob Dillingham as he’s fun to watch. He also is a very “cool” prospect which we definitely need. BUT and this is not revisionist history, there are reasons he isn’t an elite prospect. IMO he had a disappointing year at OTE. He shot 34% from 2 and 32% from 3. That lack of efficiency has been consistent through his prep career since I’ve been following. He does have monster spectacular games that get all the highlights. But just think about that. Those crazy highlights you’ve seen with all those tough makes and great finishes still to be having those shooting numbers. He also has a very slight frame that hasn’t really changed over the years.
Rob is more valuable to the program as the person/hype than he is player especially factoring in how much easier it is to replace guards in the portal than it is to find a 4 man for instance.

Same thing happened to me being an early critic of Billy Clyde. Although, it was only a couple years old. Still no clue why. I think folks that know me would say I'm not the type to get out of line or press the rules.
So Cal had no clue that a guy who went to a fake school created by nutcase West could be trouble?Sure.
I’ve been saying for a while Dillingham is an absolutely awful fit for Cal
If Dillingham doesn’t play then Calipari really needs to push Reeves and Livingston to return. Then go after another shooter/ball handler in the portal
I’m already mentally trying to get myself ready for the football team to take my mind off basketball
Suddenly, despite knowing all along that Wagner was being recruited, Dillingham woke up one morning after he'd signed and realized that meant that Wagner was going to be playing on the same team! He immediately set down, rested his head in his hands, and uttered a low groan, so deep and resonant that Kentucky fans a thousand miles away could sense it.
I've already moved on to football. Excited for the upcoming season.
Kinda like I used to be for upcoming basketball season. No more. I simply dread it.
If he doesn't show up Cal MUST get a PG out the portal that is can actually shoot and guard water bug PG's, no way I wanna see Wagner trying to guard these little PG's next year.
I’m asking everyone. Do you want a 160lb guard who shot 33% from the field this year? Maybe. But I’m not so sure
I’m excited for leary and the weapons Kentucky has for sure. But it’s going to be a really long 4 months. April- early august is worst time. I enjoy the nba playoffs and love soccer but both those don’t come close to the college football & basketball & the nfl for me
This honestly might improve the team. None of the incoming recruits are known for being good shooters except for Shep. If Dilly doesn’t make perhaps we score a seasoned shooter from the portal. I really don’t think class is going to be everything it’s cracked up to be. Losing Livingston would just suck. He’d be the perfect stretch 4 next to Ugo/Bradshaw.
And had Cal not tried to recruit Dilly guys like you would criticize him for that too
Jack Pilgrim. His handlers say they were lied about NIL not received.
Didn't want him any way .... did I do that right?
But again. We’re in roster management issues with Cal. This is why each year is failing.
At this point we’ll have one PG (and Wagner isn’t. Exactly a seasoned PG). And now we’ll be portal shopping to fill out a roster
Here we go…the dream class is falling apart

Don't worry.Cal will get Wheeler to return and his sprained ankle should be healed by the start of next season.
He is, but he isn’t as flashy as Dill. Doesn’t run in the same hype circle. Better shooter/passer than Dill though.
I know he’s a freshman and will need some time to development, but I’m glad to have him on the roster next year. I expect him to play meaningful minutes.
Might need to target this guy:
The best player in the transfer portal will be Princeton's Tosan Evbuomwan. Has another year to play but the Ivy doesn't allow fifth-year seniors. Averages 15 and 6 and led the league in assists. Good enough to start on any team in the country next season. - Seth Davis
