Nothing surprising here, unless you are some of the few on this board that argued he was coming back for some reason.
Reed declares
- Thread starter University-6
- Start date
Wonder who will accompany him to the draft? Cal?
Possible silver lining - Frees up a shit-ton of NIL money to spend elsewhere.
Can you show me the actual post of posters who called you an idiot for saying he wasn't coming back ? I can only speak for myself, but I knew there was a better chance than not he would declare (who wouldn't with his projection), but MY position was it was not 100% he was leaving, and he would at least entertain the possibility of coming back (though not likely). I honestly believe he did spend some time tossing the idea around, but I damn sure wouldn't call a poster an idiot for saying something that had a better than 80% chance of happening. If posters really did that, they are the real idiots.
I love Reed ,Offensively he is ready for the NBA, but he is not ready defensively, average guards scored on him constantly this year. I can't imagine what a NBA guard will do to him. But I wish him the Best.

I never understood the argument. It was pure fandom speaking. He’s projected top 10 in a weak draft. You don’t gamble on that.
You can have an agent now and it doesn't stop you from returning. He could withdraw at anytime but based on his statement I'd give it about a 0.1% chance.
His father? Of course. Reed? Not even close. We don't do one and done legends with 0 NCAA tournament wins at UK
Well, it was fun while it lasted. He was even better than my dreamiest most optimistic hopes for him. A shame I can’t say the same for his coach and team this year.
Well done, young man, hope you have a great NBA career.

LOL, I think he's made a mistake. There are clearly areas that he needs to work on, he's going to get clobbered in the NBA if he doesn't. But I don't blame him for going for the money. Most of us would say yes. I have a school loan that's added $11,000 in interest over the years because I didn't make enough money to survive on and make the school payment so it was frequently in deferment or forbearance. So I get the money situation. I just wish he would have announced sooner.
He says he is foregoing his college eligibility
and he is all in with his decision
Corn bread and milk. That's what I had last night...lol
I guess at this point I’m comfortable saying I want Burks gone, Wagner to take UK off his list, Adou to move on as well.
I’d like to have a clean split with Calipari and his one and done culture that has been absolutely venomous to this program.

Sad to see him go but a obvious decision. Just pissed that cal screwed up his only year at uk. Not sure we will EVER get another legacy uk player during my lifetime....
LOL, he's not coming back. He would have to comb the combines for us to have any chance of him coming back. Pope should never mentioned anything about "sheppard" in that speech.
And he can work on those areas while in the NBA. He's learning nothing here next year he can't also learn in the NBA while being a lottery pick in a generationally weak draft.
Absolutely, don't blame him at all but now that it's over, we can go full force on filling his spot on the roster.
I do thank him for not dragging it out like some would.
Legacy player? He wasn't a legacy player. He was a Kentucky kid who's great at shooting 3's and FT's, but not much else. Wonderful family. A good to great player.
And your prick ass reminded me about it and I own up to it like I always have. You have no shame to constantly remind people when they are wrong, which is all you do on here when you post. You literally don’t post anything else. Your whole persona is “ I told ya so” stop with the moral high ground bullshit. I didn’t guarnetee shit, because I was never pressed, I said they wouldn’t make it and then I got a couple of replies and then again admitted I was wrong, but that doesn’t fit you agenda does it you prick. And btw all the game thread shit was my grandfather who I have said numerous times was the one complaining on here not me, I deleted the account off his phone and it’s been soley me for the last month, but again that’s doesn’t fit your agenda. And before you reply I know you will go digging for posts from this account form 3-4 months ago because you love to let people know they messed up.

Best of luck to Reed . I hope he kills it at the next level .
I feel bad for the folks who actually thought he was coming back .

This I agree with I love Reed as a player but he needed multiple years and some NCAA banners to be considered a LEGEND!
It does hurt, actually. He… and we were robbed of what could have been some great memories. It’s sad that his one year had to be while cal was here, he doesn’t deserve to be the coach of Kentucky royalty.
He absolutely would learn if he was next year. He'd learn how to operate within an actual offense, and would likely get a lot of teaching on his defense. This is not a case where he had nothing to prove or improve upon. The risk is injury.
I think he means legacy player as in son of a former player.
Legacy player = his parent(s) played for UK. He was a legacy player.
Can't overstate just how weak this draft is. Reed made the best decision for Reed as he should.
