I would be more excited about Brooks returning if Cal wasn't the coach. Cal plays favorites and while Brooks has his good games, he has way too many bad games, but since he's Cal's guy, he gets to stay in the game and screw up even more.

Meanwhile, guys like Toppin and Hopkins are parked on the bench.

Toppin is going to get shafted again this year.
I’m the same way. I have no problem with Brooks coming back, but he should be behind Toppin. Toppin is just better and has more upside. Cal’s use (or lack of) of Toppin in the second half and OT of the St. Peter’s game borders on utter stupidity. I’m also worried that Cal will play Brooks more than he should.

That sounds like our 2014 group.Did that not count?
Of course it counts. But that 2014 run is the exact definition of a team that got hot at the right time. And a player in Aaron who hit clutch shot after clutch shot to keep advancing. It was some of the most fun I've ever had watching a UK team, but let's not discount how much the team getting hot and some luck factored in.

Thanks coach.
If you agree wit Cal’s use of Toppin in that game, you’re braindead. After the game Cal himself said after looking at the first half stat sheet that he should’ve played Toppin more in the second half. Seriously? Was he actually watching the damned game in the first half or did he suffer a stroke. It was clear as day to anyone with a functioning brain that Toppin was our second best player on the floor in that game. So yes, I could’ve made a better coach’s decision than Cal in that respect. Hell anyone could. But thanks for your stupid comment all the same. Get Cal’s sack out of your mouth. Fish boy is going to be jealous.

Not nice Blue. When are you going to retire from coaching church league. I bet you are a rock star to everyone in the congregation.

Cal is clueless. Kellen Grady had to tell Cal to get Mintz out for a curtain call with like two seconds on the clock during the last home game (senior night) at Rupp this year.
I think he just watches the games like a fan. And screams.

I always thought a Junior had the same middle name, too. I've learned something.
No you're right i think. I'm not a junior due to a different middle name as my father. I was gonna be a junior and then one of my dads brothers passed away and i was named after him. We still have the same initials though

Common shorthand.

That "be" is standing in for "B."

He's just telling Wheeler Let's Go Brandon is a great movement.

I can easily see a Brooks return pushing Toppin out the door. That’s a huge net negative for UK. If I were Toppin, I wouldn’t stick around to sit and watch Brooks continuously screw up, while not being given the PT needed. The guy has massive potential, far beyond Brooks. He needs to play…

If Brooks returns, I wouldn't blame Jacob if he transferred. It would suck for us, but it would be the right move for him.

Honestly, if Toppin got Brooks' minutes last season, he's probably getting drafted this year. He got stymied by Csl's love affair for Keion.

And Collins. That is what the handful of guys making misleading comments about returning players and supposed hypocrisy are missing. Cal has a blindspot for Brooks and Brooks has not improved much at all in 3 years. If he comes back it could reasonably cost us two higher ceiling players because they will know that Call will play him major minutes.

UNC is returning everyone except mannick from a team that went to the finals. We ve lost 3 starters and our top recruit who never played after losing in the first round to a 15 seed. Folks like you bringing up UNC to justify their position are what’s ridiculous.
We beat their ***! Bring it on!

There was a game towards the end of the season where brooks was net -11 and Cal played him most of the game, while Toppin, Collins and Hopkins sat. What coach does that? I mean, you have some damn good dudes sitting on the bench and you're going to just let Brooks go all BJ Boston?

Even Keion's mom had to be pissed Cal didn’t take him out.

KB needs to go. Very low BB IQ, low energy, chokes during close games, argues with the coach, and doesn’t respect the name of our basketball venue. Go, kB- and go fast.
