Matt Jones on a Twitter space right now:

- UK was 100% certain they were getting Dickinson and Keshad Johnson
- let Oscar leave because they knew they were getting Dickinson
- Cal’s mind was changed on collectives after Dickinson and Oscar’s decisions and the Reeves deal
- someone “very connected to UK” is running the new collective. Great person to lead this
- Cal stepping away and now letting people do what needs to be done for NIL
- not sure on Reeves. Thought he was coming back but now they’ve gone quiet
- Cal is alienated from main donors. However, new donors are stepping up and are big time funders. Not UK people, they are Cal people

The Reeves stuff needs to be finalized, one way or another. We're going on mid-June now. This feels like the long process when we waited for Randolph Morris years ago.

Cal has talked about Cal alienating big donors for a long time. Not good even if others have stepped up.

- last 2-3 weeks behind the scenes changes have been made within UK basketball. changes for the better.
- not sure changes pay off this year but says Cal will be back after this year based on what he is putting in place.
For **** sake. I sure hope not. 1 more year of this clown will be more than most of us can bear.

Can they also hire someone to coach the games for him? That's still gonna be an issue.

The problem for Reeves is he can’t really go anywhere else unless he graduates and that doesn’t seem to be occurring
Last week there was a rumor he had returned to Illinois State to take enough classes to graduate. There was even a screen grab of his student contact info, although I never heard it confirmed and it could have easily just been an artifact from when he was at the school before.

Has anyone confirmed if he's still at UK or at ISU or somewhere else?

Seems like HD would be the type of person to lead someone on, not surprised if that’s true. Hope Kentucky whips his *** In November when they play. Seems like he needs to be humbled!
That big clutch will have a career day against our young bigs. He will taunt Cal and UK fans with every make and blocked shots.

I hope just the opposite but have to be realistic it would be our luck.

See p 4. Take it FWIW.
Found it finally, I’m not doubting the guy but a guy who manages arenas basically saying reeves is at ISU when he says he was at philly and Oregon I don’t see the connection or how he would know. But there’s to much smoke out right now with reeves returning to Kentucky

I don’t think Reeves’s alleged enrollment at ISU weighs in favor or against his return to UK. If anything, Reeves has proven himself adept at keeping options open. I have no inside info, but I’m optimistic for his return.

That's a lot of twitter stuff. Matt has some sources.

Poor Bigblue Don you are really are going to be blue. "Another year" well if you can't take a year, yiu are not going to make it, because Cal is not going anywhere. I feel so sorry for you, I really do
You are in for a very rough ride. Might want to give up watching UK. Lol, I love it.

You love what exactly? Winning or having Cal run the program? Because he hasn't been winning the last few years. So what do you love? I get a kick out of these fly-by posts.

They must think they are getting everyone because they whiffed on both for being 100% certain lmfao. “Letting” Oscar go for anyone is the dumbest thing I’ve heard all off-season. Man this staff is dumb.

If they are ranked in top20 when we play them odds would be against us.
