The transfer portal opening the same week of the tournament is such a great idea!!! Wtf even is college basketball any more.
It would make his 3 minutes last game make more sense..

Rumors that Bradshaw is going to transfer
- Thread starter cornbreadnmilk
- Start date
Hate to see him go but we have some big dudes coming in this fall.
Absolutely. If that's the case, absolutely sign me up. Bradshaw is at least a year away and maybe two. That's if he ever develops. I never saw someone so thin also be so slow. His gait is extremely stiff and that of someone much heavier.
But it's not victim mentality. It's the nature of the system Calipari has built. Transferring is great, but Calipari needs to recruit less and develop more over time if he wants to retain (which he seems not)
Adou
Antonio
Oscar
Quickley
Harrison twins
Toppin
Lance Ware
Keion Brooks
EJ Montgomery
Nick Richards
Is there a point in even continuing?
Do you wanna compare the numbers of how many leaves compared to stay? Now there is no point to continue!
That is an incredibly easy prediction to make since he's now undraftable and there is no way he will beat out next year's version of Thiero at the 4 and we have two bruisers coming in along with Ugo(sorry I'm not going to delude myself into thinking that Z is coming back).
But wait, I thought YOU said that no one ever stays for 2 years at Kentucky? So are we moving the FG posts here or are you just spewing nonsense?
ONE and DONE ... One Way or the Other. While this is true for the players, it's become generally true for Calipari teams at tournament time.
Lots of kids stay 2 years. It's weird to say that no kids stay when lots do. It's just trying to manufacture bad feelings. And NIL and the portal system aren't something Calipari dreamed up. Players want to make money, and they change their minds the same way everybody else does.
I would have never ending gout attacks. F all that.
I don't think Bradshaw will leave. I think one of AB, Z, UKO returns. Possibly, but probably not 2. No way 3. And I think Bradshaw is the most likely of the 3 (40%, 35%, 30% in order of AB, Z, UKO). I doubt any of them are concerned about competing with an incoming FR too much (especially since 1 is quite raw).
I really like the guy's attitude. I think he works hard, with the right mentality. I think his skills are a bit limited, and he isn't anywhere near physically strong enough for college, let alone the NBA.
Imagine being a MCBB fan and not knowing wtf David Sisk is lol. The guy doesn't go out on limbs, usually when he speaks its damn solid.
I hate to lose anyone, really, especially someone that clearly has potential. But despite frustrations with Bradshaw's performance, he has kept a positive attitude and you can see it during games. I appreciate that.
That’s not an unfair question, honestly. He seems to have a really positive attitude and gives good effort when he plays, but I’m not actually sure what he does well besides simply being tall. He’s not strong or bulky enough to be a great rebounder or post up scorer, doesn’t seem to have unusual quickness or leaping ability for his size, and doesn’t scare anyone with his jumper. It’s not like this is new information either, because he’s pretty much been exactly the player this scouting report from last year said he was.
If I had to guess, the high ranking was probably a combination of this being widely known as a weak class and some projection for what he could be if he took take a big jump forward in one aspect of his game or another. He seems like a good kid, so I hope be figures it out wherever he goes next. He’s just more of a project than his ranking suggested, and unfortunately for us hasn’t really put it together this year.
This was the worst class for Big men that I’ve ever seen.
How many times does it need to be said? Reed is not going to the NBA this year!
Love his attitude and hope he stays here until he's ready.
Yeah, he is gonna turn down a top 5 pick and lottery chance in the weakest draft in the nba in years. The ones who believe he is coming back are deluding themselves
No rational person believes that he gives up top 5 lottery money to return next year. It’s a silly pipe dream so the sooner some of yall come to grips with him going pro the less the sting when he declares.
Nobody on this team can seem to rebound- either lack of trying, hands of stone etc
I keep hearing about how weak this year's draft is, my question is what do the next 3 drafts look like? I could see Reed putting himself on a 2/3 yr. plan if his odds of maintaining draft position are relatively stable
College basketball media person/account, who makes predictions about transfer portal stuff and coaching changes. He is right most of the time
I think Bradshaw would be dramatically improved for next year
but he'd have to accept limited minutes just like this year
but he'd have to accept limited minutes just like this year
and risk the chance of an injury before maximizing his draft stock and seizing the opportunity? I just don’t see it.
Again, as a 53 year old born and raised, blue bleeding homer it’s a romantic notion that he returns to his home state school where his parents played too but so much has changed in the game that I just can’t see it happening as much as we all want it to.
Can't and Want are different things. He avoids contact the same way I avoid spider webs. Wherever contact is to be made, he's not there. Contact is where the rebounds are. That's his problem that he didn't hit the gym and buffet in the summer to try and be ready for game action.
May not have a choice. May have gotten "the talk" from Cal.
One and done goes both ways with Cal.
Cal will give him a HUGE OPPORTUNITY to upgrade his status during the tournament.
Even if it costs us the game. He owes him that....

Wow!!! I wish I was 7 ft tall so I could eat like that...lol!! That all sounds so good!!🤣🤣
I hope not. Ugonna is the best one we have. I hope he stays and gets his monster year in 2025.
Isn’t Big Z 23 or 24 already?…..I think his plan was always one and done. When you get that old it’s impossible to improve your draft stock more then marginally.
I think an argument could be made that given he had less then half a season that coming back at least gives the teams a better profile of what kind of player he is.
Of course logical arguments don't ever apply in the world of NBA one and done or the transfer portal
