What does Kentucky do with roster

I think that's our only hope.I don't have any faith that Cal can land good transfers at this point.
I hate the transfer portal and it’s not because of our situation. I think it is hurting the sport when guys are jumping around like they do now. For certain situations, I understand why guys transfer, but in a lot of situations guys aren’t willing to work hard and wait their turn to play when older guys get drafted or graduate.

Most will agree with the deserved pessimism rampant in the fan base.

I think there will be parallels
Fox-Wagner
Monk-Edwards
Bam- Bradshaw
Briscoe- Reeves
Willis- good 4 transfer
Hawkins- Dillingham
Mulder- Adou
Gabriel- different positions entirely but Reed
Humphries/SKJ/Wynyard- Ugo. They combined for less than 20 MPG not even factoring all the DNP’s from the 2 knuckleheads.

The big 3 freshman and Briscoe absolutely carried that team in production/ability. That class was better than the 23 one admittedly but the 247 composite had our 3 at 6/9/11 and this year it’s 3/4/6. Revisionist history with all their success at UK and beyond clouds our judgment of that roster on paper. Going into the season there wasn’t doubt because no elite freshman prospect had burned us yet whereas now we’ve been burnt numerous times really since that class.
Bam and Bradshaw as an equivalence is about one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen on here
 
Get Reeves, Livingston.and Tshiebwe back and we have as good a shot as anyone, IMHO. That’s a good mix of talent and experience. Top seven should be pretty solid.

Lose those three and it becomes very iffy unless we can get a home run type transfer like Kobe Brown.

The only issue is everyday that goes by it sounds more and more like brown and Nelson are staying in the draft
 
Word is that many good players are gonna pull out of draft. I sure hope so. If not, we are screwed.
We would a player that wants to develop and make the league come to UK to sit behind freshmen, I feel that is why we missed on Johnson. I doubt we get any needle moving transfer now. Should be an interesting year, I can already hear the excuses.
 
Your sarcasm is a good attempt at a troll. But I’m not falling for the bait
Don't be so modest! You've started a thread about anyone who entered the portal, who thought about entering the portal, who ever even heard the word "portal". You're in the know! And TampedCat assures us the roster will be filled. Spill the beans!

The thread title is what does Kentucky do from here, I post what insiders say on Twitter on here. Your trying to make a point that none of us on here now anything and we’re overacting by posting threads like these on here. If you don’t agree it that’s fine, but I’m genuinely asking what everybody thinks Kentucky should do or if we believe our coach will actually do anything
 
We better have some aces up our sleeve, I mean a this point it’s looking like NBA Africa transfers or something.
As much of a Cal critic as I am it seems unlikely that he doesn't have at least 2 players that he is 90% certain he is going to add to the roster. It is somewhat less likely that whoever they are will be enough to make us a top 10 team. If I had to guess I think there is only about a 30% chance that 1 of Oscar, Reeves or Livingston return.

Cal hasn't had a balanced roster more than once in the past 4 years and injuries always seem to plague us at the worst time possible. This roster as it stands today is the shakiest in recent history
