[bookerfan66]

Wow.He was doing well there wonder why he's leaving?

 

[Crawfords Corner]

UCLA?

 

[itsaprocess]

Probably leaving before sanctions hit.

 

[jgraf1]

 

[RunninRichie]

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Crazy. Maybe UCLA and he and JJ can light it up together.

 

[BigKari]

UCLA?

First team that came to mind for me. USC doesn’t look like too bad an option either.

 

[Fawrules]

*Cal holding a boombox up over his head on the Zoom meeting*

"Baby come back. You can blame it all on me."

 

[Canned Heat]

 

[Lempface]

Pretty wild to see a guy transfer twice.

Any new info on your guy Brandin P?!

 

[Yardeth]

Pass

 

[Blueblood410]

Supposedly he wants to be the primary PG where ever he goes.

Unless he turned into Curry with his ball handling, I don't see that happening at a high-level D1 program.

 

[track42]

He's wanting to play Point guard is what I have heard.

Sinking ship. Miller's toast.

Why is he excepted?

 

[Mike-D]

Did that hit the backboard? Jeezuz

 

[Gassy_Knowls]

Maybe we can pick him up. We have the room

 

[KellyMead]

Well this is going to ding the anti-Cal narrative a bit. Exactly how are we supposed to keep kids like this again?

 

[MakinMusic_rivals]

Red flag on him in my opinion. Seemingly a troubled, flighty guy.

 

[CarolinaCatsFan]

I laughed so hard at this — thank you!

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

I heard it's because his coach yells too much.

 

[thack_kat]

So, maybe Cal didn’t force him out like all the clowns on here say?

Or maybe Cal called in a favor and got him pushed out of Arizona ...

Red flag on him in my opinion. Seemingly a troubled, flighty guy.

People transfer colleges all the time. Just because he's a basketball player doesn't make him any different.

 

[KYCAT78]

Transfer Portal is nothing but a joke. It is like a little kid who gets mad and takes his ball and goes home. Old rules at least discouraged some of this nonsense. Hell without portal Cal would have lost 20 more games last 3 years.

9-16 I don’t know that you can ding that narrative with an injury riddled transfer

 

[TheDude73]

Now can people see that Cal is not the problem here? Baker is a lost kid and didn't want to follow Cal's directions and it seems like it was the same with Miller at AZ. That seems to be a trend for the kid, not Cal.

In all fairness, Cal had guys leaving before this giant transfer portal option was available.

Yeah, I agree. Who didn’t see this coming? Of course Matt Jones thinks it’s great.

Kids could always transfer but they had to sit a year. To me, that was better even though this will help UK.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Dammit, Cal's starting to push players away from OTHER programs now. Sheesh.

 

[docholiday51]

Headed back to UK for Ware and a player to be named later

 

[Dr.LutherSan]

He's been in school for almost 4 years and has been completely healthy for one season. Yikes.

 

[so_obvious]

Nope.

PASS.

 

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

Wow.He was doing well there wonder why he's leaving?

He really only had like two good games

 

[HagginHall1999]

I laughed so hard at this — thank you!

That alone almost negates everything he has done in an amazing career.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Well this is going to ding the anti-Cal narrative a bit. Exactly how are we supposed to keep kids like this again?

Simple. Pay them.

 

[revcort]

Probably leaving before sanctions hit.

This is just what I was thinking. Could be. If I were him, I'd get while the gettin's good.
