Hit the bricks, kid.
Cal can follow when the season is over.

I know....he had a bad game and it stunk. But was guys like Chris Livingston, Toppin, Frederick going to really hit shots that Reeves took?Oh, you know, because we have 7 guys, he was the 2nd leading scorer last year and he's top 10 in UK history in 3 point percentage on a team that desperately needs shooters.
Never give anybody ever lifetime contractsOk, Cal/Barnhart/next-UK-coach, it's time to take the gloves off, Tampering is A-ok from now on it appears.
And one of three UK players in history to go for 37 or more in a road game. Reeves would be a huge loss.Why fret over a guy who was 1 for 15 from the field in the biggest game of his career?
He's also a senior with little to no NBA aspirations, so this is the last year he can capitalize before going overseas somewhere. Why stay here on the bench with a coach that clearly doesn't believe in you when you could go elsewhere?He wants money, that what this boils down to. Yes I want him here, we have no shooting at all, and two guards and fowards who need shooting around them. I want a 40 percent shooter and 14 ppg scorer back
Just remember one small different in the Caleb Love situation and Reeves'. Love could get in to Michigan but not all his credits transferred, but with Reeves, he will be a grad transfer, so he will not need his credits to transfer.Michigan has high academic standard.…cost them Caleb Love. They aren’t promising Reeves admission and waiting around till he completes summer work in June or July , I doubt . Weird scenario since he hasn’t gotten eligible without a waiver yet
This is like me letting one of my team members get trained a little more on my dime only to leave my company 2 months later to go work for another competitor... Sir, the door is to the right!!
That out of state summer session tuition isn’t cheap.Nothing UK can do to stop reeves from furthering his education. That said, if he doesn't commit to UK in the next week classes needs to be paid for by reeves.
He was 0-14 and we were up 2 with 3 minutes to go. If he hits one of those shots we probably advance or if he doesn’t shoot the last 5 or 6, I’m sure Wallace ot Oscar would have hit a few. It would have been ballgame.know....he had a bad game and it stunk. But was guys like Chris Livingston, Toppin, Frederick going to really hit shots that Reeves took?
He is doing the same thing any of us would do under similar circumstances. looking at the best option for himself . I assume as the best shooter on next years team if he comes is not overjoyed about not starting , getting less than others, and not being billed as the go to man by Ky PR .Reeves is a little &$%#*. Get him out of here.
No my post means he sucks and get him out. Even he knows he can’t shoot consistently enough to beat out Freshman. Get him out of here.He is doing the same thing any of us would do under similar circumstances. looking at the best option for himself .

This is based on Cals history of playing his favored freshmen over more qualified upperclassmen . Under similar circumstances you would tell your son to look elsewhere without a guarantee of being the top NIL player on the team, a starter, average at least 20 minutes plus and be featured by UK as their go to guy on offense
He had ok production , with a non-descipt personality & no one knew who he was one yr ago ….and got reportedly well into six-figures NIL . UK did him right and has nothing to be ashamed of…No my post means he sucks and get him out. Even he knows he can’t shoot consistently enough to beat out Freshman. Get him out of here.
Let him goHow long can we continue to hold his spot? At this point we have put everything aside for him just for him to still leave.
As I read it while our freshmen are great legends in their own minds none of them are exceptional shooters. Without that three point threat guy they just pack it in on you and let you shoot as Wheeler found out .No my post means he sucks and get him out. Even he knows he can’t shoot consistently enough to beat out Freshman. Get him out of here.
Kentucky should have locked him and jones up weeks ago but cal didn’t do shit, now he may not end up with either one. They have to meet reeves and get him on boardHe's also a senior with little to no NBA aspirations, so this is the last year he can capitalize before going overseas somewhere. Why stay here on the bench with a coach that clearly doesn't believe in you when you could go elsewhere?
He wants money and a starting job somewhere. Meanwhile we're not offering him an exact amount of NIL money and likely telling him he 's the 6th or 7th man because we already promised starting jobs to the incoming freshmen.
" I don’t get people not wanting a 14 ppg scorer back" ... well, Dontworryboutit. 😉He had one bad game. It’s worrying because Kentucky has to get him back, they literally have no shooting and returning production, I don’t get people not wanting a 14 ppg scorer back
Agreed ... it's a chit show.Tiring. This is all so tiring. All I’ve got.
This is the issueDude was NEVER going back to UK! That NBA stuff was just to buy some time to find interested suitors.
These guys did not like Cal as their coach! And neither do the fans.
If you honestly think this is simply about money and not about Calipari, I don't know what to tell you. The guy is streaky, and his defense is atrocious. Secondly, if doesn't get the classes done and is FORCED to come back, how much effort do you think he is going to give us? At some point the PROGRAM has to come first, and we need to look elsewhere, or we will have nobody. Not Reeves, and no replacement. Has nothing to do with "hurt feelings." It has to do with pragmatism, intelligence, and not desperately clinging to the past.Everyone saying "let him go" because he has hurt your feelings is too emotionally frail to follow UK sports.
pay his ass and get him back. bygones be bygones.
Why ? It’s his future . He busted his ass for us . It’s not his fault that Cal plays his coveted immature freshmen before better players at the moment.I felt like going through the draft process was reasonable. He was never going to get drafted but might as well try. If he really is taking classes just to graduate and transfer I would take the scholarship back. That’s shitty behavior.
He can finish his classes at UK but it shouldn’t be on UKs dime. I don’t see how anyone in that situation would be OK with it.I get wanting more money but handle it like a man.Have a honest meeting with Cal and if you don't like what Cal says just leave,finish your classes ELSEWHERE and be done with it.
