Oregon looms for Reeves

[Wunky]

they can't even close the deal on guys that were ready to commit

Think about what you just said.

This staff is trying to build a team that can win the national championship NEXT YEAR. Because they know that is the expectation.

I’m glad they aren’t as impatient as you are or we’d be screwed.

 

[SkyPrince1]

how can you say anything positive about this staff
what have they accomplished?
All anyone talked about was getting Antigua back & recruiting would pick up
well he is back & recruiting is the same.........nothing
they can't even close the deal on guys that were ready to commit

You have no idea what he wanted to "close the deal".

 

[bnewt]

Good lord, this may be the dumbest thing ever written on this board.

"recruiting is nothing"....this can't be real. Ridiculously dumb.

what have they done............Lucas got Wallace, not sure on Livingston & Sharpe who cares, he didn't play
so who have they gotten
the sad part is folks like you that see everything thru those blue colored glasses

 

[track42]

People were acting like Reeves was signed and that turned to crap so now people are making the same mistake acting like Baylor is signed and coming here lol.

if that was the case, they would be trying to land a point guard that can score instead of being a hinderance
they would be trying to find a good back up to Oscar, because Ware isn't the answer

if they don't land someone decent..........UK is screwed, but some of you believe everything that ccc throws out

 

[Wunky]

What makes you think that?

Because he was ready to commit the day he got to campus and... still hasn’t commited?

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out.

Let me ask you this: what if the staff accepted his commitment, and then the kid from SDSU (who does everything well, not just score, but also shoots the 3 at 46%) wanted to come here but couldn’t because we took Reeves instead. Would you be happy?

Now, we may get neither kid. But as a fan I’m holding out for the elite player 100 times out of 100. If we miss out on both then so be it. But Reeves isn’t the guy to help lead a title contender. He isn’t even Grady.

and they just found that out in the last day or so?
supposedly after his visit, he was ready to come to UK

Chance is good we get neither so then what?

Well the visit is where you sit down face to face and he gets a chance to ask questions about his role and state what he expects.
Maybe Cal had to say "Antonio, I cant promise you that".

 

[Jamal Mercer]

They dont want to play 2nd fiddle or even have to worry about pt!
If Brooks and Toppin come back and we land Baylor we will go 10 deep!

SHOULD go 10 deep. Cal will only play 7 of them.

 

[Wunky]

So then you took a chance. It’s what successful people do.

 

[jgraf1]

I didn't realize the roster was finalized. I guess I missed that announcement.

that's where this part of the post comes into play...

" ^ that's the team right now "

 

[jgraf1]

Why are you leaving Brooks off that list???

He's not going anywhere. Where else could he get 30 minutes a game and NIL money???

Brooks has what the other players want from Cal. Guaranteed playing time and $$$$$$.

Why would he leave?

LOL good point!

 

[BBallin23]

Not a big loss. Staff probably backed off due to this Baylor kid. Reaves is ranked as the 23rd best transfer, compared to Baylor who is 3rd.

Baylor is a lock for sure then.

 

[TankedCat]

Calipari is just counting the days until the buyout is close enough to what he wants and he’ll negotiate and roll. I don’t believe for a second anything else is going on.

The shine is off Calipari and has been for a while. I’ve completely counted him out and I’ll be right to do so. Go UK, which means I prefer a new coach sooner rather than later.

Something definitely seems off

 

[BBallin23]

We eat first lol

This is the dumbest response I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen it a million times. It’s not funny, and it’s outdated. Bring something else to the table.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Am I the only one who sees this as a positive? Staff clearly rates other options better.

There’s only one option and he has everybody In the nation after him

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

At the risk of getting my head ripped off by angry fans desperate for good news. This reads to me like we backed off trying to wait for better options. Reeves is a good shooter and overall good scorer but that’s it. He can’t create for others, doesn’t pass well and is mediocre on defense. Somebody like the South Dakota State kid is both a scorer and play maker.

The problem is Kentucky could easily have had this kid the dude from SDSU has everybody in the nation after him and still may stay in the draft

 

[cathouse_rivals216755]

Rosters with one 3 point shooter are amazing.

We don't need no stinking 3 point shooters!!!

DRIVE!!!!!!!

 

[ruppsrunt1]

begok must maintain plenty of minutes for brooks should he accept what all realize--brooks is not nba material.

until brooks makes an official choice--begok will keep other potential players hanging in the wind--and LOSE um

begok has become a LOSER--accept it and hope he goes far away--SOON

I might be wrong but I thought the article said, both he and the UNIVERSITY said pump the brakes. Is something better waiting?

 

[TheDude73]

Calipari looking down the bench at portal player #44 hoping for some luck.

You should be ashamed for using a meme depicting the Cubs....As a Cards fan, you should shower and wash your eyes out with soap!

 

[JC CATS]

Except it sounds like the problem is on Reeves side.

How so, it reads that both parties said, hold up....

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

The kid from SDSU that’s the only one

 

[JC CATS]

"recruiting is nothing"....this can't be real. Ridiculously dumb.

2 Top 10 kids, recruited Oscar back, some portal guys they will prolly get, #3 class, that's for the bums.

 

[JC CATS]

That would be great!

We didn't have the 3rd ranked class.

And in that movie that **** struck out Bernard Gilkey. I don’t know what I was thinking.

****

Holy **** are we really censoring the word punk?

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

That would be great!

Hope they get him pretty much every major school in the country is after him

 

[JC CATS]

OK

 

[BigBlueTom1_rivals]

Antigua!!!!!!! Chin!!!!! Raking them in!!!

 

[stuway]

As usual most of the mark. The staff asked to slow it down because they are hunting bigger prey. This isn't necessarily bad at all

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

SHOULD go 10 deep. Cal will only play 7 of them.

Our fans have forgotten, but title teams have guys like Fredrick as their 7th guy, and guys like Brooks as their 6th man - not both starting.

Ideally, I'd love to have Baylor and Sharpe. That's the type of wing duo that wins championships. It also would allow guys like Fredeick and Livingston to impact the game as role players, which is what they are. I'm tired of watching out wing depth at only one player deep.

 

[Emarc]

He is selling himself to highest bidder. wont care who he plays for.

Not happening. You keep wishing and not happening. I think you are the one drinking that shine. Go back to your mommy's basement.

Finally something almost all can agree on

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Nobody seeking to bring this player in is "eating first". You're getting sloppy seconds.

I just read that he grew up a Duke fan.Crap.
