So, Antonio Reeves anyone?
- Thread starter STL_Cat
- Start date
It's really strange.
How do our "insiders" and "beat writers/reporters" not have so much as an update in 2 weeks?
It's wild to me actually.
For a program that Matt Jones "claims" is in disarray, they sure do have a tight lid on information. Those 2 things don't usually go hand-in-hand.

I’m just assuming he won’t be on the team next year, and is doing what he can to be a grad transfer. If he comes back ill be pleasantly surprised.
We should have some type of answer with the Canada trip soon, I guess.

It's annoying for sure. Our players should be decided by now. Well before "now", actually.
On one hand, I'd like to see staff put the screws to him.. but at the same time, if they do that, it probably pushes Reeves elsewhere.. and while I'm kind of indifferent at this point, we REALLY need Reeves experience next year.

The only thing I have seen is the Michigan guy saying he thinks reeves graduates in 2 weeks and announces he is going to enter the portal
Which part? The disarray? No, everything is fine. Just look at our portal wins since NIL.
Well, it’s obviously not UK, so…’
Time to move on.
Time to move on.
There’s a really good chance he doesn’t get eligible at the school he wants to go to
He’s not gonna be here if he doesn’t wanna be here. He/They will find a way to make it work
If he doesn’t get eligible he will be back here, I think they work out, not fully confident but it can certainty be worked out
Are we so hard-up that we want a player who doesn't want to be here? Wow! Cal has really destroyed UK basketball.
That either we have the worst "insiders" and "Beat writers" in the country (whose job it is to do some digging, call in favors, etc. and report on this stuff), OR that the program is not in disarray like Matt Jones stated.
Programs in "disarray" have info leaks all over the place, with no mechanism to handle information that flows in and out. (like the Brooklyn Nets with Kyrie and KD, they had a new story, issue, etc, almost every day because that franchise was in total disarray and Steve Nash had no clue what he was doing. The Miami Heat, on the other hand, Pat Riley and Spoelstra run a tight ship and they almost never have those kinds of issues).
So I am saying it's either one or the other IMO.
With our current situation yes. Two good freshman and the rest okay to unknowns means you need guys like reeves back
If he is trying this hard to leave and ends up coming back only because he can’t go anywhere else, I gotta think it’s gonna cause chemistry issues. Having a guy around the team that’s miserable to be there isn’t healthy for the rest of them. He has shown his hand, he’s out first chance he gets, so cut him loose. I have never seen it drawn out this long when a guy is happy to play for the name on the front of the jersey.
I think it’s safe to say our insiders suck. They get way more wrong then correct
Sounds like he has ghosted UK since telling them he is back.
I don't want him. Why would anyone want a guy on this young team that obviously doesn't want to be here? That's a huge risk to a likely fragile team chemistry. IMO, Reeves return would be more of a risk than his absence.
Thank you for defending this. I can't stand the Reeves bashing over that one game.
Exactly, he was one of the main reasons Kentucky won the providence game
If they didn’t need him I would agree. Kentucky needs him, unless you want to rely solely on dillingham
I get that they need him, My opinion is they may just be better of without him. Cal is playing the freshman, period. How's Reeves gonna handle less min?? Wheeler 2.0?
Looks like he got 22 points in a game that’s absolutely meaningless right now. A game we hung on to win btw.
Agree to disagree on this one. Sorry but he just couldn’t get it done in a LOT of big games when we desperately needed him and it wasn’t just Kansas state
He was one of the main reasons the season turned around. The whole team outside of Oscar sucked against k-state. Bad shooting games happen. Dillingham is gonna have alot of bad shooting teams as well.
Reeves would play 20-25 maybe even more mins, and get a lot of shots I don’t know what else he wants, he isn’t going to be a creator on any team, Michigan is going to have off ball to same with Indiana
You can not reason with most of the fanbase these days. A good portion of them wanted reeves and Oscar both gone and without them Kentucky would have been worse than the 9-17 season.
The season turned around??
I must have missed that
If Reeves goes or Bradshaw can’t play, there’s still room for another shooter/big. Fingers crossed.
I’m as vocal a cal hater as any but not wanting a guy back because he shot bad one game, when he was the dang reason they were in that game to begin with is crazy, and not wanting a NPOY back is crazy also
They were gonna miss the tourney complety and he was a main reason they got hit during that win streak that got them in the tourney
Fans don't want Reeves gone.
Reeves wants Reeves gone.
In no way is he being "run off"
Exploring his draft stock should have ended the minute he didn't get invited to the combine.
At that point he should have returned to UK and assumed the leadership role on next year's team.
If having the #1 recruiting class coming in turned him off it just proves he is selfish and has no confidence in his own game.
His play on the court would have determined his minutes even if Cal wanted him to start the season as 6th man.
Better players than him have been the 6th man at UK.
I saw Antonio Reeves with a Chinese menu in his hand. Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain.

What would be worse...Reeves transferring to another program or having to return to UK because he couldn't get eligible to transfer to the program of his choice?
We could be stuck with a kid who is miserable and doesn't really want to be here. That's potential chemistry trouble waiting to happen.
I've just resigned myself to the fact that we are going to be dealing with off-season drama like this every year as long as Calipari remains head coach.
