A lot of fans way overrate Wheeler's defense.
Not nice Cawood. You are one of those that think breaking the law is fine if you don't get caught. You need to move out to California where if you do get caught they let you go.
Who do you see him replacing? Tyty? I am thinking he is more of a replacement for Grady.
What little I have seen of him (videos and such), he requires the ball in his hands quite a bit. I have reservations about how that will work in the "offense" that CAL likes to run.
Lmao. Oscar must be pretty white to net $5 million. I can’t believe people still try to bring race in and infer Kentuckians are racist despite real evidence and numbers.
Then they scream, “I don’t want to talk about politics! I just want to infer you’re all racist and have no one argue with me!” Lol.
I am not doubting it with Reeves on board. That's not what you posted.
Prior to Reeves committing, both situations were extremely similar. Beyond that, Wallace can play the point and Livingston can play a small ball 4. Some people even think those should be the preferred positions. Rice is very similar to Livingston so if Scheierman committed to KU, I'd bet all three will start there as well.
And I’m not opposed to that per se. But I would hope you choose a place of work based on money AND for the culture.
Wut?
So you’re basically saying the Commonwealth is highly racist. Seriously?
How many of our favorite Cats are black or other another race than white? Get out of here with that garbage.
Classic “I want to say something stupid but I don’t want to start an argument” spiel that is so damn common in America today.
welcome mr reeves.
i did like how he mentioned a national champiomship.

I'd love to get Broome but if Toppin comes back we should be decent inside.We still need at least 1 more scoring guard,I'd prefer 2 more.Hopefully we can convince Baylor here but if he doesnt come we still have to fill 2 spots.
Still a few days left so never know who else might decide to play elsewhere .
And I think Brooks is gone.

Nice breakdown of what he can bring to the team.
nothing changed just media guys throwing mud on the wall and wanting hits
You would rather have the SD State kid over him based on what ? Also, don't know how the kid will do against the better competition. See how that works ? SD Dtate doesn't exactly play in a super conference. Illinois State faces equal or better competition, conference is better. Quit reaching when trying to give opinions. You do not know jack **** about the kid, well at least not until now. Give me facts that back your position which player would be a better fit. Not reading articles and wishful thinking. Myself, I do not know. But I do know the kid wanted to come here. That holds a lot of weight to me. He will not average 20 here, this is not the school for that. But scoring is always needed.
Baylor averaged 6.0 PPG as a freshman for South Dakota State, behind Douglas Wilson, Matt Dentilnger, Noah Freidel, Alex Arians, and David WIngett.
A mostly-healthy CJ averaged 10.2 PPG as a freshman for Iowa, behind future NBA draftees Luka Garza and Joe Wieskamp. Garza was also Sporting News NPOY that year, and consensus NPOY the next.
Plantar fasciitis derailed CJ's sophomore year, and we all know about his issues this past year, but if CJ is healthy there is no way Baylor is "light years better".
Lol all of the people saying they would rather have the SD State kid over Reeves is funny. You had never even heard of him before now, but he will magicly play better against tougher competition and you question if Reeves will ? Good to see logic and facts went onto the thought process.
Agree to disagree. I think its a moot point. I don't see Baylor coming to UK and I don't think CJ will be asked to play the 25-30 mins he played at Iowa.
At UK
I think he is concerned that most, inc. the AD, thinks his time could be up.
That is what you took from my post ? I simply asked to use facts in determining who will adjust better. Never mentioned other schools or knocked either player. Might want to work on those comprehension skills a tad. Especially if you plan to call people out. At least know wtf they said.
I look at it as AR replacing Grady, which is an upgrade. Reeves is certainly more versatile offensively and his game is overall more well-rounded. You can't fill Sharpe's shoes, unless a crazy-good recruit comes out of nowhere and we somehow pull him in. It is going to take a collective group to fill that void and I believe that Wallace, Reeves, CJ, Livingston and possibly one more addition, can all lessen the blow of losing a top 8 draft pick and keep UK chugging along.
Chances we get he and Scheierman. Sure hope they are high. With Reeves committing that's the writing on the wall for any return of Sharpe, as if there ever was any.
When talking about teams other than UK, to me the top tier type team that appears in most desperate need for a player like Scheierman or Reeves is Duke. I don't understand what is going on there with their 2G situation - or really their Guard situation in general. Surely a program like Duke is not going into next season without adding a couple of Guards. It looks like they have 3 Guards that could give them some minutes, but only 1 (Roach) who would start for maybe any other team in the ACC. So, I've kind of been looking out for Duke as a competitor to UK in the transfer portal, and they have been mentioned as "reaching out" a number of times, but it doesn't seem like they're being mentioned prominently with the portal guys so far.
The kid obviously doesn't really know much about Calipari. Here's part of a quote that Reeves gave to ESPN: "I understand the workload, practice, film work and can help explain it to the younger guys."
Reeves obviously doesn't know what Calipari said just before the Wisconsin game in 2015 -- "We don't watch film."
Of course, all good coaches have their teams watch film - as is implicit in Reeves' statement to ESPN. But Calipari is simply not a good coach. Ergo, his statement before the Wisconsin game.

I really like your point about adding guys to the bench to develop for the year after next. I think that kind of planning is so much more important than we realize in the here and now. In fact, I can think of two guys that fit that mold right now that I really wish UK would add, and from the outside it would appear that they would have a very good chance of being able to add.
Sure. That is why he is a Hall of Fame coach and you are still on the sidelines in church league basketball.
LOL, what?
You would take a mid major player, that will never get a sniff in the NBA, over a dude that scored higher than AD on the recruiting scale.
This is soooo Rupp Rafters mentality.
No man, just no.
Who was the 5* freshman that was challenging Grady at the 2?
Cal tried to get Collins in there, but even Cal realized he couldn't do that, Collins couldn't play at this level for most of the season.
Brooks might not be back, but that would mean he would rather be a wal-mart greeter than play ball for Cal. He isn’t getting drafted.
Did someone speak to you, or ask you a question?
No? That STFU until you are spoken to.
We've had this discussion before.
I was going to say Brooks and this kid play two different positions but sometimes Brooks is used as a sf so I'm probably wrong...
Some of the same people bitching yesterday that this guy was going to Oregon and UK/Cal dropped the ball are now unimpressed that he’s signed.
It’s pretty funny actually.
I do think it is plausible, albeit unlikely, that the SDS kid could still come here. Altho I would’ve preferred Baylor, I will take Reeves and be happy. He could be a nice supporting piece.
