VT's Kerry Blackshear enters transfer portal

[IndyCat1995]

Any chance Cal looks at the kid? Immediately eligible

 

[bigbris2008]

Sign him up .... Right now! Absolutely what we need. This would be an amazing addition to next year's team

 

[Conn501]

WOW grab that guy asap if hes interested

 

[Mike-D]

Would he have to sit a year or?

 

[Jakarii]

Cal needs to go ALL IN on this guys. Watched 8 of his games this year he has first round potential!!!! Athletic, can hit a jumper, physical. He’s a lot like Terrance Jones. I think he has a couple credits to finish in order to become a grad transfer

 

[HagginHall1999]

This guy brings a ton to the table. This would be as big as Reid IMO. Guy is a baller.

 

[TFCats11]

WOW grab that guy asap if hes interested

...and takes minutes from who? UK is loaded comparatively speaking. I’d love to add Hurt, McDanials, and this guy, but Cal can only sit so many comfortably at the dinner table.

Agreed. This guy is a stud. Would love for UK to get him.

You're making big assumption there sport. I'd take this guy over hurt and McDaniels in a heartbeat. He will undoubtedly have a better season next year. Hurt is off the table for us anyway.

We ain’t getting Hurt or McDaniels

Good comparison Jakarii, I agree with what you're saying here.

Cal's gotta get this guy. Blackshear would change everything for this team. That dude is exactly what the doctor ordered.

I’d absolutely take him over those two!

Anyone and everyone.
Better than anyone currently on our Frontline.

 

[TFCats11]

We ain’t getting Hurt or McDaniels

“ You serious Clarke?”

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

This is the type of guy that propels UK to preseason number won or if he goes to another big name school UK fans say "oh ****"

 

[DerekMcPwn]

Get. Him. Now.

 

[StubbornPenny]

Totally get him. 14 pts 7 reb in a major conference, 6'10''. GO GET HIM

How nice would this be?

PG: Hagans 25/Quickley 10/Maxey 5
SG: Maxey 25/Quickley 10/Baker 5
SF: Brooks 20/Whitley 15/Blackshear 5
PF: EJ 20/Blackshear 20
C: Sestina 20/EJ 10/Richards 10

Whitley would be able to come around on his own time
Allen RS

 

[Aike]

I would rather him him than any option available, and he would play in front of anyone on our roster now.

 

[TFCats11]

Anyone and everyone.
Better than anyone currently on our Frontline.

Cal won’t do that, but point taken, and agreed.

 

[kyjeff1]

...and takes minutes from who? UK is loaded comparatively speaking. I’d love to add Hurt, McDanials, and this guy, but Cal can only sit so many comfortably at the dinner table.

Huh? We ain't getting Hurt and we aren't even a sweet 16 team with the current front court we have. Blackshear + our guards + Sestina + Montgomery = serious national title contender.

Blackshear is a veteran big that can take over games on both ends of the court. No freshman available can match what this dude would bring.

 

[BlueBlood66]

He’s also entering the draft.

 

[cbrwalt]

He is good, and would be a huge get for UK, no doubt.
Just about every team could use a guy like him

I agree, he would probably be the #1 recruit if you put him in this class as he is now, top 5 at worse

 

[UKZOCK]

This guy would be perfect for us. Proven in a big-time conference.

 

[Conn501]

This guy is a bigger impact player than reid travis. This will be a MAJOR get for someone.

 

[BoulderCat]

I would guess he’d take PT from Nic though it might cause him to transfer. Blackshear has shown a lot more over the course of his career. But who knows if the guy is even interested in UK.

 

[WonderBraa]

We need him and that size more than any recruit left. He would be my number 1 priority.

 

[lonewildcat]

This guy is the answer to our problems next year. He is better than anyone in our current front court, and he is experienced. Go after him aggressively, because we are not getting Hurt or Mcdaniels.

Looking at the roster again, one more quality big isn’t out of question. So I stand corrected lol.

 

[CELTICAT]

I like his game a lot, would be a perfect compliment to Sestina.

 

[Fitch44]

Have always loved his game.
Holy hell he is going to be a great pick up if he stays another year in college.

 

[Wildcats1st]

Why wouldn’t the pt come from Sestina or brooks??? Nick controls nicks future. He plays well he will be on the floor. The other two are wildcards.

I think cal should go all out for blackshear but I bet he goes tamu

 

[TFCats11]

My original take was in reference to Cal’s loyalty. Which can be a fault of his sometimes. But I respect it.

Current Roster we are a top 10 team and should go to the elite eight. But with Blackshear we will win it all

 

[tj_walker]

He would be UK's best player next season.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Go get him, Cal

 

[Blue-The-Dog 2]

Would you take this guy if it meant Richards transfers? I would unless it meant no senior Nick Richards. If it's either for 1 year, then I take Blackshear. If we think Richards will be here for 2, it's a tough call.

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

Unpopular but

Blackshear, Richards
EJ, Sestina
Whitney, Brooks
AH, IQ
Maxey, Baker, Allen (maybe)

There's your platoon and at least 38-0

 

[Fitch44]

If we got him the NCAA would immediately find a way to change the transfer rule before heading into next season
Cal doing cal things. Fu*% the ncaa.
