Reed, TyTy, Toppin, Hagans, Mintz Should Never Be Allowed Back Here

Those guys, and probably others I’ve missed, should never be allowed to set foot on campus again. Tyty especially. His punk ass burned his BBN bridge with a flamethrower tonight. He can go beg Kal for money or jobs when his failed career is done in a couple years but don’t dare come back to Kentucky.

Seriously doubt they give 2 shits about coming back here. They came here to play for Cal and get to the NBA/pro ball ASAP. They dont care about the university at all

He made a back room deal to leave on his own! We did not run him off.

We just expected more than this in a 4 year period:
-missed tournament and losing record
- 1st round loss to a 15 seed, worst NCAA-T loss in UK history
-2nd round loss
-1st round loss to a 14 seed, possibly 2nd worst NCAA-T loss in UK history
JW, I think we did run Calipari off, or at least a majority (?) of the fans did their best to for reasons including those you posted. - and for my part I'm so very thankful for it. Yes, Calipari created the opportunity for the separation by his dealing with Ark and the parting could not have occurred without that issue due to the $44M needed to fire him. But he needed to go, and Barnhart and again the majority (?) of fans and the stewards of the program knew that. The fans made it acceptable for Barnhart to tell Calipari to go to Ark., which is kind of running him off.
 
So You live under a rock?
No in the real world not the Twitter world.
Real world we got our ass kicked on the court last night.
Tweets and pictures are just a deflection from that.
Reeds choice of attire has nothing to do with how good of a basketball team we are.
It would have all been laughed at had we won.
 
Give it a rest. Players rarely commit to a school bc of the school. Now it’s money of course. But the coach who recruits them is more important to them than the school . You’d feel the same way if a coach who put his faith in you and helped mold you left for another school. Sure you’ll probably still root for the school of course. But I guarantee you’ll really be rooting for your coach who you have an emotional relationship with

They’ll care in a few years when not even the gleague will sign them. They’ll want to come back looking for jobs or handouts. They always do. They can go beg for money in Arkansas. Or maybe Kal can keep them up the rest of their lives.

People were furious before the game even happened. Had we won, fans would still have been pissed. Losing though just ensured it stays engrained in the fanbases minds. He’s done for with a very large percentage of BBN. He was overrated by many and didn’t win shit to begin with as it was. That little stunt was just the last straw.

But I wouldn’t be dumb enough to do it publicly and bite the hand that feeds me. The ones doing it are the ones that will be begging to fans to buy their autographs in a couple years because they’re 27, can’t get signed, have no skills other than ball and are broke. Guess they can ask Kal for their rent money.

Extremely naive post.
I hope you were just joking about the rent money.
We've had some former players over the years that truly were broke and BBN didn't/ couldn't save them.
If they blow through all that money they're screwed either way
 
New age social media attention at the expense of long term opportunities at your alma mater....

Gen Z and Alpha really are living for the moment. A smarter person would be silent and keep those bridges from burning.
Reed will never have rely on making speeches for money the way Jeff did.
As far as other opportunities like coaching, if 20 years down the road he's coaching and winning and UK has an opening, he would be considered.
 
It is rich as hell listening to Hagans who got kicked off the team for his final game and came back for an autograph signing after covid that got mocked for how few showed up. They want your money for NIL, autograph signings, buy their jerseys and then talk shit about you for the world to see online. F*** em all!
They sure didn't mind the fans when they were heroes, as they performed li,e zeros
 
Tyty was never one of my favs but I don't see what he said wrong; the first statement was just a fact. I expect players to have a connection with their former coach. The only one that pissed me off was Shep; a Kentucky boy should have known better.
 
His punk ass better not even come back to Rupp. BBN has a very long memory. A large part of the fanbase still hates Rex and that’s the category Reed falls in now.
Well Rex got off the bus with Pope so there's that.
I'm sure Reed can come back anytime he wants and probably sit right next to LeAnne

Imagine you are Reed Sheppard. You spent your entire life growing up wanting to play for Kentucky. You get to live your dream, the state falls in love with you, and you throw all that love away for Coach Cal? If things don't work out for him in the pros, I don't know how he can step inside Rupp Arena in a few years without getting brutally booed. I am just dumbfounded by his decision.
Finished with him.

What does that loss have to do with what you said about lack of evidence people might boo Shep?

That the attention needs to be on why we lost and getting better not Reed.
Reed had no impact on the game and it's best just to ignore him rather than going back and forth on Twitter about what he chose to wear.
UK fans engaging on Twitter with former players and recruits usually ends up a bad look for BBN.

Calipari knowingly broke his contract and he knew the consequences. Barnhart called his bluff. Hell he was just on a tv show with Mitch 2 days earlier saying he was staying. My guess with his ego he thought the fans would come out in force especially when that setup of him out walking his dog with support and he didn’t get it
