Well, that rules me out.
Rumor today on KSR about Wheeler
- Thread starter Wildcat-Lane
- Start date
Swear, I think some people just don’t have the damn common sense God gave a horse.
Wheeler when Calipari says the coast is clear..
Got 50 bucks and a pack of cigarettes I could recruit the wife bro.
Committed to play…
Sorry, but there is no way, my man.
There are dead horses that need to be beaten. It makes some on here feel better.
He gone. I'm moving on.
I've heard and read some really wild speculation on what Wheeler's issues were. This is a new one. Not saying it isn't true, just that I hadn't heard that one before. But, I'm not on HOB either so...
To me it's very telling just how miserable the guy was and eager to get out of Lexington that he put his name in the portal BEFORE having his post-season meeting with Calipari. It says to me that he decided to transfer some time back and was just running out the clock on the season.
Here's another item for discussion...would it have affected team GPA averages if Wheeler had left the program in the middle of the last semester, after he lost his starting guard job? Or was he just staying to get his degree and be immediately eligible wherever he transfers to?
Not saying there’s any legs to that at all. Something that was said and I just so happened to catch.
Just go back and look at his late game decisions. If he wasn’t point shaving, honestly, I might be a little confused.
What’s up dude. Stick around but let the few of us know who we’re talking with. I’ll leave it there so we don’t arouse suspicion
I didn’t bring it up before on this board because it is a heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend type situation. But per a UT scout that was at a Lyon County game scouting TP, Wheeler lives a different lifestyle than your typical college basketball player and Oscar, being as religious as he is, didn’t get along with him because of it. Take that with a grain of salt. I didn’t even want to post that, but the more this all played out, the more likely I found it to probably be truthful. That’s a really stupid thing to cause a team to implode in 2023, but different cultures are conflicting in the locker room.
Wheeler still isn't really the problem.
The man who allows this drama, and injury feigning, putting yourself before the program etc is the problem. It will be a different player every year because the common denominator is still there.
Not that there is anything wrong with that. I think most kids today probably don’t care, but I could see that causing issues with someone who is from another culture and deeply religious. I just wish Wheeler well, and I’m glad he’s moving on.Totally off topic and I have no idea why I bring it up now, but there’s two types of guys these days. Ones that want to visit the club, and ones that would prefer to work there.
Wheeler leaving in no way resolves the issues with the UK basketball program.
Wheeler's actions this year are only a symptom of the root problem of the chaos surrounding this program. Wheeler is just the latest player in a long list of players to be allowed to use the UK basketball program and make a mockery out of the leadership of that program.
Look I understand how people have to act today. I mean we don’t have to, but it’s we’re doing. I will say that I have no idea about any of it, but there’s a potential bridge there. And I’m sorry (this is not about wheeler), but there’s nothing wrong with a guy not wanting to be in vulnerable positions (locker rooms, showering, being nude) when the guy next to him has a sexual attraction to his friggin body.
I don’t know why we’ve gone so far with this, and I’m actually of the opinion that the constitution grants rights to people it once didn’t whether someone agrees or not, but to suggest there’s something wrong with the straight guy who doesn’t want to be in that situation? Whoever believes that is a sick person and if that’s banworthy then I’m glad to take the ban because I wouldn’t want to be messaging in a place that thinks that way.
You already know.
“They see me rollin’, they hatin’, patrollin and tryna catch me Ridin’ dirty”
Bottomline they had quality depth and I bet they will again. Quinnerly played 8 less mpg and came off the bench some and didn't quit. They got Sears to come despite what they had. Two years in a row we have been thin down the stretch.
Inmates running the asylum so to speak will destroy CAL and the program.
You can't be this bigoted against Christians, surely. At least I hope not.
So, what YOU have to believe to make this statement, is that all of the media, sports reporters, coaches, etc. etc. who all voted for Oscar as Player of the Year only voted for him because of his faith, and that they are all Christians?
I don't know who hurt you in the Church, but you need to move on from that. If you choose not to believe like Oscar, that is your privilege. But it is also Oscar's privilege to believe how he believes, even if you don't approve of his faith. You don't have the right to tell anyone how to believe or what to believe in.
Oscar is not perfect. He made way more mistakes this year than he should have. Maybe it was NIL, maybe all the awards went to his head, MAYBE there were team chemistry issues. I watched Toppin and Wheeler refuse to pass him the ball when he was posted up on the blocks over and over again, especially early in the season.
What you can't accuse Oscar of is not giving his all or not caring about playing for the University of KY. You certainly can't say that about some of his teammates, regardless of their religion.

This thread has turned a corner. Probably should be locked up now before too many get in here and start going crazy.
If Wheeler does indeed air dirty laundry at his new destination then we'll know he was the issue. What is it Cal says about throwing a rock into a pack of dogs? The one who yelps is the one ya hit.
Politics get into way too many threads these days.
I didn’t catch it, what part? Religion and such?
Eh, I mean it is what it is. It might be a part of our team situation so, I don’t see an issue. And locking threads over something as minor as this thread is kinda eh….
People need to lighten up. Missouri just opened legal dispensaries 20 minutes from me in Tennessee. Headed out tomorrow to grab some OG and hit the cabin house on Black Lake. You are more than welcome to join.
Would love to. Have to work. I’m totally L7 though, so would be no fun.
I’m down whenever you might want to. I’m a good judge of who I can let around my kids.
I have to believe that if the coach of a program Wheeler wants to transfer into does his due diligence, there might be a limited number of places for the kid to land. Whatever the issues were at UK, Wheeler was obviously in the middle of it. Many coaches will hard pass on a potential problem player. But, others will take a chance. It's kinda like getting a good reference from a past employer. I'm sure Calipari won't torpedo the kid as that could be used against him. But, I wonder if there are others who would?
lol what a damn circus.
Someone should write a book about next season because it’s going to be something.

The AD at Kentucky really cares what a drama queen who has a sick,
pathological hatred for the coach and at least 1 player thinks about hiw to run his team.
Only going to get worse
The Cow danglers are stupid or blind one. It happens right in front of their eyes and they try spinning it anyway they can so it don’t look bad on our clown coach.
Wow, my grandma could have guessed that--Some kind of hard-hitting news from the village idiots.
Yep, sounds like they hate the guy...
