Rumors that Bradshaw is going to transfer
- Thread starter jessieshorts8
- Start date
USC bound??? My guess if so, especially if Z comes back.
I’ll take Z over Bradshaw. If that’s what it comes down to.
I am not a fan of Bradshaw as I don't think he is a very good player. If he transfers it will not hurt UK as we have better players than him coming in. I would love to see Big Z return for another year.
We have 2 centers coming in and 3 currently on the roster who aren't garnering any draft buzz. Bradshaw has turned out to be the odd man out of the rotation now so that's not a surprise.
Bradshaw is one of those players that leaves too early and we look back and consider his one year a waste. But, if he stayed, could become a fan favorite with his eventual development and ability to annoy opponents.
Kids gonna kid, though

Apparently UGO was brought up as well by trilly as leaving too which hopefully leads me to believe that Big Z is coming back.
Seems like a nice kid but he's a toothpick who can't get a rebound to save his life.
My first thought when watching him play in high school was that he runs like a dog walks with shoes on. I’m not exaggerating. Go back and watch.
He’s better running now, but not much. He isn’t athletic at all. Has a nice release on his jumper and is tall.

Wouldn't surprise me no kid plays here for 2 seasons
What is sad for these kids is that they are told they need better circumstances, or better place to thrive. They are never told to look in the mirror and go take what you want. That is the path to success. It's not a new school. But this is where we are. If this country doesn't get past the victim mentality we are not gonna do well.
I thought this was a given. This isn't a Cal thing anymore. Bradshaw was a 5 star recruit and it doesn't look like he will be starting even in his sophomore year. at any school he would be in the transfer portal. we've already recruited over him.
As much crap as Edwards got throughout the season, I always felt he at least gave effort. Bradshaw was always the biggest recruiting bust of the season to me. Just seems very raw as a player. He was way too raw to he a top 5 recruit, in my opinion.
I'd be fine with it. My hope is that he doesn't drag it out. Make this decision the week after the tournament is done so we can focus on the roster.
But I'm sure, he'll wait until June or something..

I mean to be perfectly honest edwards and Bradshaw should come back and continue to develop and try to be a dominant basketball player.
It’s his right to transfer. Obviously it hasn’t worked out the way he wanted it to here. I commend him for continuing to have a good attitude on the bench. He seems like a god teammate.
As a basketball player, he has a ways to go. He has to add size. He needs to work on his shot. His defensive instinct has not been good. I hope he can find those things wherever he plays.

If I were drafting future NBA talent I’d probably favor kids that toughed it out and worked through their struggles to earn PT vs athletic potential. Mental fortitude outshines athletic potential every time. Combine them and forget about it. But if you had to pick one I know what I’m going with.
I wish him the best. He is a very good young man but just was overrated coming out of HS. I hope he goes somewhere and has a nice career.
Starting off March Madness with talk of transfers tells me some players minds are not where they should be.
Not good even if he is not a big part of the rotation going forward.

More stupid *** unproven rumors that dont need to be posted
You really don't live in the real world, do you? People change jobs all the time and find a better fit. Why even bring up "victim mentality" in this discussion. Bradshaw, from all accounts, has been a great teammate and done what has been asked of him. Starting over somewhere else may just be his best choice.
This is a distraction at this point. I'll care in April.
Bradshaw boils down to which position does he play?
- If he is a Center....we have Somto and Quantenance coming in...and maybe Ivisic comes back (I doubt he will). Bradshaw even with a year of strength training...he won't be as like Somto or Quantenance. Will he be a better shot blocker? I am taken back by how lacking of explosiveness he showed this year. So I'd argue Somto for sure will be better rim protector and probably Quantenance
- If Bradshaw can play PF (which is his best bet at UK)...he needs to vastly improve his shooting, ball handling, passing, etc... People arguing he could morph to a face the basket PF in college from HS...were listening to Cal's nonsense and it was an utter failure of a concept. Bradshaw made 4 3pt shots on the year (28%). Total bust.
But I'd rather play Thiero at PF heavy next year. I'd love to see small ball PF stretches with Richmond as PF. Indiana de commit in Liam McNeely is a pure stretch PF.
So, all in all, I'd love to see Bradshaw stay 3-4 years and develop. But this UK/Cal...that ain't happening. So, I'm fine letting him move on and UK gets better players than him already in next year's class and/or portal.

People are going to transfer out, people are going to transfer in.
Just the way it is these days lol.
You never know with these guys if it's just they are freshman and they just needed more time for the light to go on or whether or not this guy just is what he is.

I think the recruiting services are much like NBA guys and they rate them based on potential and not always on production.
Why do we always have these threads and the people that start them don’t ever post what was actually said or posted?
Hold on tight. Talking heads and anonymous internet freaks on social media will do whatever they can to create turmoil right in time for the tournament. They want Cal gone that bad.
I never figured Trilly Donovan was really Rex Chapman. I mean it’s the perfect time for that weasel to start rumors just before the tournament starts.
Well David Sisk seemed to confirm it.......
