This is the crap that has to stop under Cal
Damn. Probably the best for him and his future. Wish him the best of luck and continued success as a player and person.
Man, wish you well. Guess EJ thing got to him. Hope he can play at UNC or UVA like he originally wanted
All these kids have to realize that there is nothing wrong with staying at a school for 4 years and developing...sometimes you are not very good
Not the end of the world, but don't love it. Would be nice to have a 6"10 20 or 21 year old in the rotation. He'd have 2 years under his belt, and it certainly would be nice to have him available as a back up big.
Somehow it just never seemed to click. Whatever happened his freshman year seemed to put him behind and he just couldn't find his place.
With Montgomery coming in, that appears to be us trying to replace his minutes and style.
If he's worried about having to wait to play, transferring seems like it puts him in a similar situation, but I hope it works out for him.

Disappointing. I enjoy talented freshmen but I also like watching a kid grow for 3-4 years and give the team much needed veteran leadership. Hopefully Wenyen isn’t going anywhere.
He wasn't ever going to be a major contributor. Limited minutes again next year as a junior with EJ, Vanderbilt, PJ and Richards likely all in front of him. Don't blame him at all for wanting to go somewhere where he can be a major contributor.
I'm really bummed to see this. I really like SKJ and he could have been special in his junior and senior year here. I can understand though. Cal played him minimally even when we had foul trouble, which didn't make sense to me... but we as fans see very little and there could have been issues behind the scenes. Best of luck to SKJ wherever he winds up!
Have to think we won't lose any of the other bigs then. I am thinking he saw what was coming and knew there was no playing time to be had. Good luck to Sacha!
Richards, Vando, PJ, Ej, and Wenyen.

What we get for consistently starting Richards
of course he ends the year on a high note...this sucks
"under Cal."

What do you propose to stop this singularly occurring phenomenon that is so unique to Kentucky basketball?
Sorry to see this. Minutes are important, but he has improved each year. I thought he would get significant minutes next year. I think his ceiling is still high. Hope this turns out to be a good decision for him.
Keep laughing. We will never win another title with Cal with this crap happening. I’m sure you thought no way Jones would leave just like you think Green won’t.
I was really hoping to see a big jump from him next season. I thought he'd beat out Richard's to play the 5. Very dissapointing.
If I'm not mistaken, he was committed to UVA, then de-committed and signed with UK. I always wondered what happened to him last season. He looked unstoppable before Christmas, then we never saw him again the rest of the season.
Maybe we'll hear what went on now that he's transferring.
Going to miss him and would have loved to seen what could have become. He'll continue to get better where ever he goes.
Was kind of hoping his play from the SEC Tournament onward would keep him around, but best of luck to the kid, regardless, and thank you for being a part of BBN.
What a ridiculous post. Do tell how you think Calipari can keep everyone happy when you recruit nothing but high level players. Some of you will find stuff to gripe about.

You don’t think this culture of “if I’m not a star after two years transfer or go pro somewhere” isn’t a negative thing??
You think Cal pushed him out? Because that is what you are sounding like.
Probably a good decision for him. I think he could develop more and quicker somewhere else. Good luck to him.
LOL! How is this Cal's fault? Players know that when they come to UK they are not going to be hidden. Cal will not stop recruiting the best players he can get so a returning player doesn't get their feelings hurt. It creates a culture of competition. The best players play. If you don't agree with your PT, either get better or get gone. SKJ chose to get gone.
Some apologies are due from some of you. I recall a post a week or so ago where a poster was saying this was happening and everyone jumped all over him. Now, maybe it was guess work, but unfortunately it is happening.
This is a bad situation and suggesting that because he "isn't that good" totally misses the point. If some haven't learned by now, experience is a key. SKJ was better than Richards in my view this past season and more mobile, knew how to set picks, etc. Unless we are getting Anthony Davis, losing an experienced big man is going to hurt us.

Hopefully he's the only one who transfers and at least a couple of the group of Washington, Vanderbilt, & Gabriel return then.
If that plays out, then yeah, I fully understand him transferring because I don't foresee him getting much playing time in that scenario. But if we lose more guys than we were expecting, we could of really used him.

You’re a bum. Clearly jones wasn’t good enough or had the work ethic to be here. Ala Wiltjer. Give it a rest. We all know what you are.
This is why we need 1-3 KY boys on the team.... its our only chance at having a decent senior on the team
