Option G: Grad transfer.

I would LOVE an experienced point guard coming in to run the show.

Not sure we'd find anyone better or more seasoned in the grad transfer realm than a junior-to-be Immanuel Quickley.

While I think IQ will be back.. It's not automatic. If Hagans still struggles with offense (which we've heard could still be the case) then the push for IQ will be strong. If he happened to get quality minutes at the point, he could be gone.

All true, but I say that the possibility of one of either IQ or Hagans returning is pretty strong.

CC to OK-State would be as lame as it gets.

I don't get how some of these elites just don't give a crap about winning at a high level, even if it's only for a year on the college level.
Family/handlers and the money they get. Sadly.

If he commits to U6, that's just chapter 1.

Chapter 2 could well be between now and next year when U6 gets banned by the NCAA from post-season play for a year or two.

Chapter 3 is when Cal, who has stayed positive with the kid, plucks him from the wreckage.

Everyone forgetting that U6 fired their coach and athletic director after being caught in a scheme to pay a player to sign? Even the lame NCAA can't just let that go away.
Well you would think they wouldn't , but they did help UNCheat till they figured a way out of twenty years of fraud too !

You mean the Quickley that couldn't crack the starting lineup last year, and won't this year? I like Quickley but I don't see some people's fascination with him at point guard. He's nowhere close to being as good at PG as Cunningham, Askew or even Christopher. He's more of a 2. He doesn't have the speed or quickness to beat good guards off the dribble.

True but he did a helluva job guarding Waters from LSU last year in Rupp.

Quickley was a freshman last year. Is it a leap to assume he'll be a significantly better player as a junior than he was as a freshman? I don't think so.

As for him not being as good as CC or Askew, that's a truism. Those guys are the best point guards in their class and project as future lottery picks. Can't say I agree about Christopher, however. No one really has any clue if Josh's game translates to lead guard at this point.

Quickley is not a pg in my thinking either. But if he gets consistent on making shots and driving and scoring. He gone lol. He showed glimpses of this. Here there. But pg naw. He aint got horrible defense either. Its manageable to get much better.

FWIW, Andrew Slater picked UL today. Doesn't mean much, but just thought I'd pass along.

I'm enjoying how many of us made mental room for off-the-ball career scorers like Green or Christopher running the point guard position next year but not a junior-level version of IQ, who has mostly played point guard at the highest levels over his high school and college careers.

Cal aint spending useless recruiting time on cade. Just for the heck of it. There is definetly pressure here. Now we got this askew commitment announcement. And that might very well mean askew to UL

You've been told hat but only felt compelled to share it with us after Askew's declaration today?
Yea because he hasn’t even visited Kentucky . No one knew a commitment was coming soon. Grow up. This is a message board and you act like a little kid.

I ain't saying he can't play some point here and there but I don't think that should be his natural position. I do believe he will (maybe this season) become an outstanding SG. He's a very good shooter and defender. I love Quickley's game just hope we get a really good PG for 2020.

Tru and very well could lead to quick doing it at uk. But hasnt yet. But im huge quick fan. Reminds me of collegiate version of ron artest in the nba, kinda. Not ron artest college. Just ball attributes, 1 being defense. Fisher or artest who the tru pg? Sure artest can somewhat but not truly. Thats were im at with quick.

Either way, I love that these guys are getting their school picks out of the way. If we get Askew, we literally just need a center to have a starting 5. If we don't? Not bad either, we know almost a year early and can turn up the heat on Cade or another player... and Cade also knows that Askew is out of the equation..

I HATE that we had to wait until June, a month or two before players are on campus, if we would or wouldn't get McDaniels. The things Cal could have done differently if he knew this back in November..

If quick did what he does best. We win ncaa crown. Just rewatch auburn game lol

There's no doubt he's a better player now. Most 5 star guys improve the longer they stay in a program with elite coaches. I'm more than okay with the idea of a junior IQ running the show at Kentucky. As you noted, his defensive ceiling is elite, and he'll learn to make better lead-guard decisions as his Kentucky career continues to evolve.

U tell me pick a player attributes i want at sg? I go with quickley type plus length. Green but thank gosh for clarke. Cause clarke can combo over to sf. If ship gets heavy. I hope we get askew tho. But its the quade greene defense im worried about. Cade and Christopher both got that end more so. Just what i see. The defense is very much whole body length. Askew seems to be down to the floor. I love askew nature tho. Go cats. Get them all. Why players got be so self centered. Just do it to win it all. Pick the team that has the best players lol if u a top player lol

Ya i agree with you as well. Just wording we get mixed up lol. If quick was just artest size. We win that sucker last year. Ya quick as jr pg. Is np here with me. We need that backup. And 1 that swing to it from pg. Thats quickley to me. Versatile, just not there yet.
