Travis Graf

[CincyUKFan]

Why aren't the bigtime schools after him if he is that great?

The highlights I’ve seen show a decent player who is very cocky.

And this is a fantastic question.

Duke,Kansas,Zona,Michigan State and others loaded up with studs while we search the trash pile for a diamond in the rough.You can't make this shit up.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Once you understand memanboy is the staffs damage control and they don’t really give him really great info but the bare minimum you look at him differently. He is on there now defending Kentucky waiting until the last min and saying they still wait the process out to add guys

I liked his tweet wagering anyone who wanted to wager whatever they wanted that Johnson was going to commit to UK. Always an excuse when it doesn't pan out, and acts as if anyone questioning the prediction is an idiot.

 

[blackcat714]

He can't shoot and Pitino didn't want him.St John's fans were thrilled he left.

Beggars cant be choosy

I would take that bet. I hope you're right, but if we were in Vegas I would put a nice sum against that. In fact - and regardless of where Edwards is drafted - I bet Edwards won't be a top 5 player in the SEC next season. Although, I do think he'll be pretty good and not a disappointment at all.

I’m poor but I’ll bet $500 he’s top 5 best in SEC and a lottery pick in the draft.. lol idk my prediction was going to turn into a bet out of thin air.. lol

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Likely an 8 seed going nowhere.Hard to get excited about that.

I feel ya, but I know me unfortunately and know when Kentucky basketball starts again I will believe again like the toxic trait that it is

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

He's not. Travis Graf works his ass off and really commend him for how hard he's worked to get where he is. Great person too.

Let's just say this--Burks as the "non needle" mover for what Kentucky fans expect. I love the guy the more I've heard about him. Again I was guessing it was him but going from 6'6 wing to 6'10 wing....leading OTE in scoring and he dropped 42 pts in his first game in the OTE league so he had a debut similar to that display that Rob Dillingham had that blew those announcers away.....and he's the type of guy that John Welch will make a terror.

Cal's best addition to this point is Welch. He's worked out guys like this in prepping for NBA and as an NBA Coach. If you are willing to work in the gym--he'll get a guy like this taken in the NBA Draft. G-League Ignite was interested too and they took Dink Pate, Tyler Smith, and Ron Holland-but Burks was on their radar and said he wanted to be in CBB and even said for at least 2 yrs or something along that line.

This guy has a chance to be really good. Again--he won't be the headliner for many UK fans either. So that may make them like the idea of adding him more. lol

From the 5 YouTube videos I’ve watched on burks he seems to move really well and is what modern wings are moving towards. I’m still shocked at that Twitter guys comments saying Kentucky is going to slow play everything. That’s extremely stupid

Thought UK had already been slow playing everything.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

He’s played college mins, and can offer experience. Memphis UConn and Arkansas and Kansas state are all trying to get him to he must be atleast somewhat good

He can shoot. His shot selection was piss poor. Graf absolutely loves Jones. He’s extremely high on him. He has an elite handle and driving ability for a hybrid forward.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Yeah right, she’s prolly got the hero’s and she would cut your ding ding off for no reason other than she’s 🥜.

Lol a little crazy ain’t bad for one night😂😂

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Thought UK had already been slow playing everything.

Exactly, they can’t do that anymore. They playing in a month and got 6 players who can play, ugo probably can’t play in Canada

 

[Cowtown Cat]

would love to get burk's. hew would be a game changer in my mind .

Agreed. He’s a 6’10” wing. Why wouldn’t we wanna sign him? Was a former 4 star.

29%from 3 and 39% overall doesn't say that to me.He seriously thinks this guy moves the needle,lol?

Graf, slater, Tucker & pilgrim( last two only sometimes) are the only ones to trust

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Oh yeah. He loves Jones.

 

[track42]

Oh yeah. He loves Jones.

Good Lord.I just lost respect for Graf.What an idiot.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Yeah his St. John’s numbers aren’t great. But if Kentucky can get the DePaul version or close to it he is a good add

 

[Cowtown Cat]

We need depth and experience. Need 3/4 type players. Would rather add him than not.

 

[track42]

Yeah his St. John’s numbers aren’t great. But if Kentucky can get the DePaul version or close to it he is a good add

But he sure doesn't move the needle.Who does Graf think the other one is?Kaluma?

 

[Lovebaskelball]

Anyone moves the needle now.

 

[DraftCat]

Anyone moves the needle now.

Moving the needle for UK is being able to fill out a team. Not that it makes us any better lol

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

I just wish Graf hadn't made that remark.It got my hopes up that it was someone really good like Nelson.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Graf said he has to keep some names private for now. I just listed a lot of players that were mentioned. There’s most likely 2/3 guys that he didn’t mention by name. Hell, Nelson could absolutely be one of them, idk.

 

[thehoffmeister]

I just wish Graf hadn't made that remark.It got my hopes up that it was someone really good like Nelson.

Nelson isn’t better than Reeves, Jones or Kaluma though.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

So the only big mentioned was the Sharpe wannabe Miranda?Tried it with NC State but he sucked so the NBA didn't want him.An NC State friend of mine said he was a good cheerleader for them,lol.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

But he sure doesn't move the needle.Who does Graf think the other one is?Kaluma?

I agree on that, he is a good piece but not a needle mover

 

[G-PIP]

I’m poor but I’ll bet $500 he’s top 5 best in SEC and a lottery pick in the draft.. lol idk my prediction was going to turn into a bet out of thin air.. lol

The lottery pick is irrelevant to how good of a player he is next season. But how does one go about determining whether or not Edwards is a top 5 player in the SEC next season? The best measure I can think of is maybe the top 5 vote getters for the first team All-conference.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

I agree on that, he is a good piece but not a needle mover

You really think those 3 guys are all better than Nelson?Don't see that at all.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Nelson is visiting bama next week

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

You really think those 3 guys are all better than Nelson?Don't see that at all.

Combined yes. As individual talents no

 

[UNIVKY]

Reading this thread makes me realize how desperate we are.......just to add bodies

That is a sad reality.

 

[Fox2monk]

Burks, Miranda, Kaluma, Jones, Reeves.

Not the most solid group I must say. Now Reeves, Kaluma, and Nelson I could get excited by. I will say the Ole Miss kid has a lot of potential but again another young player with no expierence but maybe Cal can get that 2009-2015 magic back with the young guys. I know it’s like a 1% chance.

 

[UKortho]

That's it?That's Graf's list of guys who move the needle?What a load of bullshit.

I haven’t seen the names yet. I do have low expectations though.

 

[Wildcats1st]

Good ole frosty tips!

Once you understand memanboy is the staffs damage control and they don’t really give him really great info but the bare minimum you look at him differently. He is on there now defending Kentucky waiting until the last min and saying they still wait the process out to add guys

The fact that frosty has remerged at this point tells me it’s dire for cal. He’s gone to the Baghdad bob of uk bb for damage control

Honestly at this point we just need players.Finding those who could help our needs like a center,power forward,point guard and shooter would be ideal but it's late in the game and we just got to get the best fits we can.
But why has he not contacted Olivier Nkamhoua or Tyrin Lawrence.Both have experience and been in the SEC wars.Just curious.A power forward and guard that could help....

In Cals supposed make or break year. lol.

Lawrence went back to Vandy.

 

[Cayts69]

Cal won’t be here though, right?

 

[bookerfan66]

Cal doesn't even seem to be going after Nelson likely because Bradshaw would be mad about it.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

Sounds like Nelson is going on a visit to Arkansas and a commitment is expected.So what we might get a scrub like Jordan Burks.
