Stranger things have happened.I have a feeling a big that has not been mentioned will enter the portal soon.
There have been hints of that the last month.

Hope you are correct, however this is Cal, and I don't think he would talk about it if something was in the works. He is the king of misinformation or no information when it comes to the fans.I agree, Cal has been talking about August and Grad transfers, I have the feeling someone might have contacted UK about a possible transfer. I think with both bigs out, get them here as soon as possible but they might be finishing school work to graduate to transfer.
Especially if it's Dante.These are uncharted waters and Cal will work out details of a potential transfer behind the scenes. Best to have the groundwork laid and make the move at the deadline to avoid possibly losing someone late.
Bringing another serviceable big man into the fold could cause discontent if things aren't handled delicately.
Dante or Bradshaw for 1 year, who do you take?Especially if it's Dante.
Don't know why he would want to transfer this late or what UK's pitch would be.
If Dante was receptive, don't know what the staff tells the other two.
yep good ol luck and Cal loves ****ing with the fans... smhHope you are correct, however this is Cal, and I don't think he would talk about it if something was in the works. He is the king of misinformation or no information when it comes to the fans.
This roster(beyond the early signing frosh) just fell into place. We lucked out into having as full of a roster as we have.
Dante since we have Mitchell.Dante or Bradshaw for 1 year, who do you take?
The people who say that are just “stirring the pot”.Why does everyone stick to this "promised playing time" theme when all of the ex players, including Shai this weekend, say the exact opposite?
I think the question is Dante (or any big transfer) or Ugo.Dante or Bradshaw for 1 year, who do you take?
Excuses, excuses. They're adults. They'll do whatever they think is best for them, not what's best for UK. Cal is in support of whatever they do.
Ugo isn’t from here, so I’m giving him a pass, he doesn’t understand the busienss side fully yet,
Dante since we have Mitchell.
Mitchell replaces Bradshaw''s offense.
Dante is a better version of Ugo.
I take Dante for two reasons:Dante or Bradshaw for 1 year, who do you take?
What should I know better?Bro, you should know better
Agree, dandridge is a good piece to add this lateI think Calipari could still pull in a Malcolm Dandridge type to come here even now. That's all we would really need, but I'm pretty confident that Somto Cyril will re-classify. His classes were suppose to end in late July.
Penny done with h Dandridge? Williams coming back for his 8th year of college, he will be 27.Agree, dandridge is a good piece to add this late
Stop it Brad and get on down to Nashville.I don’t think Cal adds anyone. Nor should he. Bradshaw and Onyenso will both be ready for the season opener.
We have everything we need with spare parts galore.
The CHC can cry and whine now.
They will go into hiding once the big blue is rolling.
Penny done with h Dandridge? Williams coming back for his 8th year of college, he will be 27.
I would gladly take him, he will rebound and defend and any offense you get is extraPenny done with h Dandridge? Williams coming back for his 8th year of college, he will be 27.
Shai didn't have handlers hanging all over him like most do nowWhy does everyone stick to this "promised playing time" theme when all of the ex players, including Shai this weekend, say the exact opposite?
Then he probably won't be in charge now with the injuryThis wasn’t ugo, it was his handlers, ugo seems like a good kid who is not in control of his situation
Could happen, but I doubt they will make him sit out considering he needs playing time more than every player on the teamThen he probably won't be in charge now with the injury
I like it, bring on Martin & Dante!I just can’t see Cal going into a season without a legit post player.
Onyenso and Bradshaw are both coming off surgery. They will both be behind on development.
And Bradshaw isn’t really a 5 man, anyway. Not in the traditional sense. He wants to face up and play out on the perimeter and is small frame-wise. Not sure how well he will play banging inside in the SEC.
And if Cyril isn’t coming in until late December or January, I am not sure he can help us.
Cal would not have mentioned grad transfers in August if he didn’t have a good idea that this could happen.
And he mentioned that before the injury to Onyenso, so the likelihood of a grad transfer is even higher now, I would think.
I could be wrong, and I probably am, but all this points to Dante coming here.
Think about it, Cal hires Chuck Martin from Oregon as an assistant. Rumors start to swirl that Dante might come with him. Then Cal mentions in his presser that he might add a grad transfer big man in August, because there will be some guys who won’t be eligible to transfer until August. Dante has completed four years of college already. He should be pretty close to graduating. Also, Cal recruited Dante in HS.
Like I said, I’m guessing and am probably way off, but adding Dante makes sense. The connection to Martin. The comments by Cal. There’s a lot of smoke out there, almost too much not to have some fire.
Sure he did, it just wasn't public. They all do.Shai didn't have handlers hanging all over him like most do now
He’s been draft eligible for a while. Maybe he wants to improve his stock and thinks maybe UK’s staff can do that? After 3 full years at Oregon, would another year of the same do much good? If he was dead set on the pros, wouldn’t he have just declared after this season, which was by far his best season?Don't know why Dante is even being considered on this board. He announced on April 17th he's returning to Oregon for his final year (he missed one year with an ACL). He's draft eligible in 24 and he wants to go pro. Why would he even consider going to another school when he will get all the playing time he wants at Oregon? He's very happy at Oregon it's a pipe dream to even bring his name up
Dandridge would be a serviceable backup.
But I wouldn’t want to count on him as a starter, though.
He might do that, as for Ugonna, if that were to happen, him and his handlers need to move on. Not playing because you are scared to get hurt is no good, when you sign to play at Kentucky,, you are expected to play. Injuries are part of life.I think he has to now or get a reclass from Cyril.
I don't see Ugonna playing here. His handlers will probably hold him out now to prevent further injury
if this becomes a issue or it's going to linger is there a chance that Ugo redshirts. Can he do that if needed.This wasn’t ugo, it was his handlers, ugo seems like a good kid who is not in control of his situation
I would think he could since he hasn’t yetif this becomes a issue or it's going to linger is there a chance that Ugo redshirts. Can he do that if needed.
Gimme a grad transfer though. Somto will take a long timeMake Cyril work.
Just make it work. Pull some strings, loosen some screws ya know...
Make It happen
