Well he is already a millionaire so he may be paying someone else to chase his supper.
We love you Oscar but….
- Thread starter jtoffer
- Start date
Yep; finally someone gets it here besides the rest of the world…. Dude has low IQ, too soft/nice when we needed a killer on the court, horrible passer, and was frustrating as hell to watch play defense. Even though he seems so sweet and loves horses; the NBA agrees…

Add Mitchell, bring back Oscar, and have a "poor man's'" 1996 team.
Any video or audio of this actually being said? I don't think he would ever come out and say such a thing..that's not his character.
Wrong, it did not change.
No, he can not return even if undrafted. He must meet these conditions to return and he does not meet 2 of the conditions .
This is actually from the NCAA -
Information Regarding the 2023 National Basketball Association Draft and Combine, Agents and Workouts.
Everyone is getting confused about the rule change that undrafted players can return but it does not go into effect until the NBA CBA allows 18 year olds and keeps NBA teams from signing undrafted players until after the next college basketball season ends.
Imagine if Oscar could come back and then in January or February a NBA team signs him and he leaves UK.
NBA draft flexibility
College basketball players who request an Undergraduate Advisory Committee evaluation, participate in the NBA combine and aren’t drafted can return to school as long as they notify their athletics director of their intent by 5 p.m. the Monday after the draft.This change is effective if/when the NBA and NBPA make an expected rule change, which would make undrafted student-athletes who return to college after the draft ineligible for the NBA until the end of the next college basketball season.
I'm not aware of any. However, that doesn't change the fact that its a possibility. Oscar's not going to either but its on the table. As long as its done by Monday.

Are you confused about college basketball players entering the NBA Draft and somehow playing in college again? Here's an explanation of the NBA Draft process.

SPOKANE, Wash. — The college basketball landscape has drastically changed over the past few years, specifically the process for early entrants into the NBA Draft.
Here at KREM 2, we've been getting a lot of questions of what this means for our local college players and their futures with the teams. So, let's break things down.
Let's start with the rules.
NBA Early Entry Rules
Players can sign with an agent without losing eligibility
In 2019, the NCAA introduced a new rule where college players can sign with an agent without losing college eligibility. Now, there is a caveat, we'll get to that next.
This allows players to essentially get a taste of what it would be like to turn pro. In the process, the agent helps the player find out where they stand in terms of the upcoming draft. Whether they would be a first or second rounder or even get drafted at all.
Must terminate agreements to return to college
Here's the catch.
Under the new rule allowing players to sign with an agent and remain eligible, if a player decides to return to college they must terminate all agreements made with an agent.
Before the rule implemented in 2019, if a player signed with an agent, they became ineligible.
So, that contract that has been signed, go put it in the shredder. You're back in college for at least one more year.
Players can participate in the NBA Draft and still return to college
Now, here's another aspect that has changed. Players can go all the way through the NBA draft process. This means they can participate in draft day and if they aren't taken by a team in the draft, they are able to return to college. Of course, this is for early entrants that still have college eligibility left.
The one stipulation being, to do this, the player must have participated in the NBA Draft Combine.
To return, the athlete must inform the school's Athletic Director by 5 p.m. the Monday after the draft.
Again, before the 2019 rule changes, if a player was a part of draft day, their college eligibility was lost.
I posted the NCAA memo that was sent to colleges and he does not meet 2 of the conditions and not some random article that is wrong.
No NPOY has ever went undrafted until now.
There is a conflict.Supposedly Oscar could return to UK if he has met all the NCAA requirements and notifies UK by the following Monday after draft.

Basketball players always had the choice to return to college but were previously limited by NCAA policies that seemed almost penal in nature. They required…basketballovertime.com
And Tre Mitchell does not play center so there is no conflict of Oscar getting his playing time.
If Mitchell comes, UK will play 2 PF's most of the time--as Bradshaw and Klutch don't think 7 footers should play Center.
If Oscar comes back, there's no way you can start Mitchell and Bradshaw--so Mitchell goes to the bench.
Yeah man, you're privy to memos sent to colleges and every major site and writer is wrong. Gotcha. Hahahahaha
Here is the memo - You have one site that is wrong and no examples of one player coming back to college since 2019.
How can not even one undrafted player not take advantage of your rule?
If you were a NPOY, you're telling me you wouldn't chase that option?
Oscar can play in the pros just as much as 50% of the NBA rosters.
If he comes back, I'm fine with it. You know what you get with Oscar. These xfers? Not so much.

I can post 50 different reputable sites, are they all wrong? No, they're not.
The rule is dumb if you're preventing kids from returning to school.
They're getting paid 6 ways to Sunday the moment they come to college.
But now they're 'professionals' and can't be abusing the NCAA rule book?
The NCAA is whack and allowing dudes to swim and change in the same "All inclusive" locker rooms proves my point.

You're imagining things. Oscar has praised Cal repeatedly. You guys hate Cal so much you make things up.
Post them and the players that have taken advantage of the rule. Simple enough.

Lol. You ever heard the analogy “you would step over a dollar to pick up a dime”?
He ain't coming back. If he does, we lose Tre Mitchell.
I think Oscar is done with Cal.
It tracks
I've seen some dumb things on this board, but this is just gross.
Dude left it all on their court for UK for two years, was a tremendous ambassador of the program, is an all time great for us, went across the world and made a better life for his family and you vomit out this trash.
I'm not imagining things at all. You all are so blind to his mediocrity lately you've forgotten how to be objective.
Most likely Bradshaw splits time at the 4 with Mitchell. Mitchell can also play the 3. But imo, Oscar tries overseas or the G-league.
Wasn’t Timme a national award winner of some type ? That ass didn’t get drafted .. made a mistake coming back and getting his weaknesses exposed
Dude will make money playing pro basketball, maybe not NBA star money, but life changing money, especially when compared to poverty in an impoverished world.
A note to both those who have big feelings about Oscar, and those that don’t quite know how to feel about him:
Player of the year ≠ most valuable player. Separate the two notions and then you can evaluate Oscar more clearly.
