More Reeves Updates- this A.M.
- Thread starter HagginHall1999
- Start date
Yup. Had a bad KSU game but still wound up shooting 39.8 percent from behind the arc for the season. We really need that shooter.
I wonder about the team chemistry, as well. I hope it doesn't become another Wheeler situation. He didn't seem to want to be here.(or why else wait this long), so I guess NIL changed his mind. I know he will be an experienced player. But I just hope something doesn't happen (like playing time, starting position vs. Bench) that would cause him to get very upset and therefore cause team turmoil. You know, like if I don't get my way, I'll just quit on my team. We never know the whole story on anything like this...or Wheeler situation for that matter.
But he's back, so...........GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!
We probably don't win the game against Providence without him.
He made back to back 3's near the end of the 1st Half which pushed Kentucky's lead to 11 and helped us weather a scoring drought in the 2nd Half.
My prediction is Wagner will be our best player when SEC play begins
I’ve had a tough time choosing between Wagner and Edwards on being the best by the end of the season.
So that guy in the man city jersey said cal is holding reeves hostage and found a loophole to where he won’t eligible
Not buying that
After reading other takes on this board, the loophole is that Reeves can’t enter the portal until he graduates (from somewhere). Then, guess what, Cal found some NIL money for him.
I think the most likely scenario is Kentucky found him money and not the other one
What a load of ********.One thing about Cal is he is loyal to his players no matter what.
Big Picture
Most of the time players have subpar (shooting) games in their last game of the season.
Some recent UK examples:
Herro 3-11, loss
SGA 2-10, loss
Diallo 1-4, loss
TyTy 2-10, loss
Grady 2-17 (1-12 3pt), last two games, both losses
Reeves 1-15 (1-10 3pt), loss But 27.0 ppg/ 51% FG/ 46% 3Pt in 3-previous games, two wins/ one loss
Most of BBN would gladly take ANY of the above players for this next season IF they were still eligible!!!!!
It seems to me that Cal may have thought his "BDE" of putting so many players in the NBA was going to carry him and UK across this years portal threshold, without much effort or added enticement (NIL)......

That really doesn’t sound like Calipari.
I saw 24-48 hours so if it’s tomorrow and he doesn’t then maybe something is up
Yeah cal is the exact opposite, he is to loyal to a default
Seriously doubt anyone is ‘hostage ‘. If he graduates with an undergrad degree he can hit the portal no matter what . He’s already transferred once , so as of a few months ago ( per NCAA) he can’t Use the portal again ..with or without the blessing of anyone. The NCAA has tightened up on that . Under some extreme cases like abuse , racism or some wild event one can apply to the NCAA for a waiver to leave the offending school and go play somewhere else. It’s all pretty cut and dry now .
This is such a bad look for our program. Cal can’t be canned soon enough. My god.
Reeves is not holding the program hostage. Cal is not being played. Cal is not worrying about it one way or the other.
Reeves wants to play major minutes. He's not getting that here and he knows it. He's looking for a place where he can play. There's just not a demand for him among good contending teams. His NIL money is gonna be about the same anywhere.
He's deciding on whether he should go to mid major level school and play a lot or play some on a very good team.
He's not a make or break player. He would be OK to have as a role player. But no big loss if he leaves. He's finding he over valued his worth.

No one is hostage . If he graduates with a degree anywhere he can enter the portal. Since he’s already transferred using the portal once , he can’t again as an undergraduate…per the NCAA.
It looks worse for the two dummies making the podcast saying this dumb stuff
Oh shut up. We need the experience.
I bet he plays a lot more minutes than you think. As our BEST outside shooter, he is very important. Just the threat of his ability keeps teams from packing it in and limited Wagner from getting to the rim (which is his strength, not shooting). You have to have shooters to stretch the floor and create spacing for ANY offense to succeed. Surely you know this?? Maybe ?
Just in the books. Breaking. We don't need him anyways. On to find our new player to take his place. A grad transfer most likely. One that won't miss everything.
Reeves is starter or sixth man who would play 22-30 plus mins a game
I think "mental issues" qualifies for getting multiple transfers..
What. Kentucky absolutely needs reeves
If Reeves is open, he needs to shoot it, if there's a lane to drive, he needs to drive it.
If he's not open, it means he's doing his job by spreading the court.
We really need Reeves and at least 2 more guys that can shoot.
It insane how some people under estimate Reeves value.
He has and will again single handily win games for us.
Also, when he is on the floor our offense get way more efficient because of how well he spreads the defense

I don't believe most of the schools after him would be considered mid major level, unless you sec the Big Ten mid major.
