Jackson announcing on Monday

[wildcatdon]

Cal’s not going anywhere. He’s not leaving $40M behind.

If Cal leaves on his own we don’t owe him anything. How many times does this dead horse have to be beaten? Geez.

 

[Whatsup]

1 of 2 things:
if he commits to UK confirmation Cal is back next year
if he goes elsewhere Cal gets to blame BBN for all the recent negativity and the impact on recruiting.

2-3 months ago Jackson was a STRONG UK lean

And Cal would probably be right to say it.

 

[bnewt]

And Cal would probably be right to say it.

and the lousy play would have nothing to do with it ..........yea right

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Where’s he hinting at anything? I checked his recent timeline and didn’t see anything…

Sorry just looked again. That tweet was from Christmas Eve. My bad. Still, Graf and JRow are still saying UK.

 

[Popquiz81]

I think it might be UNC but I don’t really care about recruiting anymore. It’s just going to be the same **** with different faces.

Re arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Ok thanks bro!

 

[Raducanu]

That's why they are saying he won't leave.

How many times does this have to be explained? Geez.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Ok thanks bro!

No problem, brother. It was real late last night. Was half asleep.

 

[MWes11]

Do we have a time yet? Sorry if I missed it.

I think I seen somewhere at halftime of the 3pm hoophall game on espnu

Thanks.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Wall his hero, does he play like him? 3:00 CST for his announcement.

 

[stereonut]

OK. I have checked the ESPNU games for this afternoon, and Jackson’s team isn’t listed.
I am hoping to record the game and announcement, as I have to be away from the TV this afternoon.

It's during halftime of the sunrise christian montverde game

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Yeah all the national recruiting analysts and head coaches and reporters thinking Ian Jackson is such a great prospect are clueless.

Some of our fans would turn down 18 year old Kobe if it meant Reed shepherd and thiero didn't get as many minutes next season.

 

[stereonut]

Thanks, Iroquois!
That helps tremendously!

 

[LineSkiCat14]

If he does pick UK, I think that's going to tell us a lot about the future of Cal's tenure and what exactly is going on behind the scenes.. imo, of course.

Don't think a player of his caliber picks a school whose head coach might not be here, and it also makes me think maybe things aren't as bad/dire internally as we thought. It might lead me to believe our issues are more due to personnel, than it is with coaching. (not that this isn't still a coaching problem).

 

[jjsomer]

I hope we get him for 2024. 2023 is too crowded with guard talent. So many fans would get mad when he’s playing over Reed and Thiero.

The board will have a complete meltdown if Reed isn't getting 30 minutes per game...no matter who plays in his place.

 

[BassProCat]

Rob Cassidy from rivals just flipped from UNC to UK. J Rowland logged a pick for UK yesterday too.

 

[HeelVol]

Rival's Cassidy picked UK to UNC and now back to UK in span of a few hours.

I think the Jackson family is toying with Cassidy.

Who knows what Jackson does. Until he tells us all in a couple of hours.

 

[Shaudylo]

Rob Cassidy seems to be struggling with his crystal ball

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

I with all the misdirection now watch him pick Arkansas

 

[Col. Angus]

Throwin all his eggs in this one.

 

[Shaudylo]

Throwin all his eggs in this one.

Was about to post that

Not good he seems to have some pretty good sources .

I’m pretty sure that’s the Maggard guy, he is connected to Kentucky

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Word seems to be getting out from the UK sources that it ain’t us.

 

[track42]

Travis Graf changing to North Carolina.It's over.

 

[JRS_SC]

If Cal leaves on his own we don’t owe him anything. How many times does this dead horse have to be beaten? Geez.

That’s EXACTLY why he’s not leaving. He’s not going to just walk away from $40M unless he gets a comparable or better offer. It’s simple but a lot of people don’t get it.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Yeah if graf switched then Kentucky is cooked

 

[Aike]

If he did come, for 2023, could a dillingham Wagner jackson backcourt work. On paper those 3 and Edwards would be a unreal four players to have, it would be hard to see it working though

It could work in the way that modern basketball works. Not sure Cal can stomach it.

 

[CarolinaCatsFan]

Travis Graf changing to North Carolina.It's over.

F&ck

 

[tmuck]

Rowland tweeting he might go to UNC because of UK fan negativity. Anyway, this one's over!

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Kid has been training to be a pro for a long time now. I have no reason to expect him to actually stay in the 24 class regardless of what he says here in January of 23. He’s draft eligible that 2024 draft. Coming to a program with so much uncertainty, doubt on his ‘23 role, and with the current fan sentiment if Cal does stay…hard to expect.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Maybe we can get the great shooter Tre Johnson to ease the loss.

 

[Shaudylo]

Yeah I know he keeps saying he’s staying in 24 but I think he reclassifies with this pick .

On to hoping we land Tre Johnson for 24

 

[KentuckyStout]

Remember folks, no matter what happens, it's ALWAYS our fault.

 

[true-blue1]

Well this sucks I really love his game. Will the class of 24 be allowed to go straight to the NBA if they want?

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

It could work in the way that modern basketball works. Not sure Cal can stomach it.

Yeah it would be nice, but has to have a a big lineup he just does

 

[TankedCat]

Headed to UNC? If so, no damn wonder with all the negativity toward our program and Cal. What might have been?

yea, Carolina fans are just thrilled with their program right now
