If he’s ok with the bench though why not? Overall I agree though. You can’t have children against grown men. That will and has not worked. Cals future depends on his ability to hit the portal and pick off 3 - 4 grown men who can ball. That may ultimately be his problem. His schtick sounds good to young guys but the older smell Bs. Honestly I don’t think cal is going to do anything unpredictable at this point. He isn’t even making staff changes. It’s absolute insanity
Fland was impressive, but he's gonna have to work on his body. He's slight. Guards in the SEC play hack and slap all game long.
He is a 2 year player because of his age. I suppose he could transfer though. Cal can’t tell this kid to take a hike. If he did he would never be able to sign another freshman. It’s like when a journalist burns his source. People don’t forget that
Maybe it’s not their fault.
In most cases, if he’s OK with the bench, why not would be fine.
But….due to the state of the program, we need to win NOW. We need immediate impact guys. But who knows….may Quaintance could be that guy. We’ll have to see who stays/goes to see where he falls in line on the depth chart.
He’s no impact if he’s 16/17. Not in modern college basketball
Fland reminds me a little of Dillingham.
Forgot it was on. Want to be excited. Not there though. Not about the players....the coach
Like what I saw of Fland and Q.
Get Z back and the Cats can have a Z and Q with Reed coming back as the X factor

People saying JQ should leave is just insane to me. I don't care if he's 12. He's a 6'10 240lbs monster. I see a unpolished, but more athletic Demarcus Cousins. By year two he's a 1st team AA in the making.

I’m guessing Bradshaw and Ugo transfer out and Z returns. I’m fairly certain we lose 2 of those 3. Z and JQ can play both big positions, but I’m not sure they can guard both positions.
I’m guessing we only bring 5 freshmen and return 3 players.
Is this real?
I sat live at the McDonald's All American games between 2011 and 2016. I remember watching Fox in the 2016 Mickey D game. He didn't really look sensational at all, but he ended up being one of the most dynamic freshmen we've ever had at Kentucky. You can't take away much from these games.
Knox is much better than I read. Like the comment he’s changing his body. 3 level scorer and physically developed. Hits the 3 but can drive it to the hole and finish.
He'll have some competition if they play Isaiah Evans. That guy has never seen a shot he didn't think he could make.
I see him developing into an Amare Stoudemire type by the time he's 18/19. He does things that basketball coaches just laugh at due to being amazed he's that gifted. He has elite hands. The way he moves isn't normal for a CBB player now--and he does that at 16. That fake handoff and drive to get a bucket is what you see in the NBA/high level CBB now and he's got that down due to his agility and burst. When he gets stronger. The play where he had a steal and threw a sick pass to Ian Jackson for a dunk.....I mean that's type of pass a guard makes-most bigs after that steal throw a rainbow lob that gets picked off.
Quaintance has the most upside of anyone in this game and not really close. The fact you have him for 2 yrs is INSANE. What a talent.
I agree. Great potential. I think he had 4 steals and 7 rebounds. Didn’t seem overwhelmed. Good hands. Natural rebounder and his his explosiveness will explode as he matures.
I'm thinking the same thing, but Dillingham was the same way and did fine. He can add some muscle but if he's quick and skilled enough he'll find a way. Not expecting him to be as good as Dilly but I'm optimistic after seeing him tonight.
When have we ever used all 13 scholarships before? One or two of the older walk-ons always get awarded them at the end of the offseason.
Fland was the best pure point in the game.
Have you really looked at the portal and how it stands right now?
Idk who else will ultimately enter but as of right now 23 portal>>> 24 portal.
We don't have to cut anyone loose to bring in Cliff but if he goes elsewhere, what's behind him.
Can't see how anyone could say without question that Freeman will be better than Knox and Richmond.
Maybe, maybe not.
I'm not against the portal and we should get at least 2 but some act like portal recruiting is a guaranteed success.
That’s Ron Harpers son. He’s a Rutgers legacy recruit.
Let’s see how good they are next March. Until then…what the did tonight doesn’t matter
You’re clueless. Where do y’all get this stuff from? It’s embarrassing at this point.
Ron went to Miami(OH).
What does Ron Harper have to do with Rutgers?
Actually Flagg blew up as a 16 U player, playing against other 16U players. He didn't play up like most high caliber juniors , who normally play 17U in the Peach Jam.
He is a NYC PG so I'm sure he is accustomed to physical play.
JQ looked very impressive to me.
He was physical, played defense and rebounded. His quickness stood out.
I’m excited to have him for two (2) years.
Here is the box score …

I was surprised at how little he played in the game. Maybe he was hurt, as I hardly recall seeing him in the second half.
Please elaborate, Dr. Naismith. Would you rather have a 17 year old Quaintance next season or a 22 year old established transfer.
This isn’t me saying JQ isn’t worthy. This is due to the current state of the program and UK needing to win now.
You saying it’s embarrassing at this point is embarrassing at this point. You seem content with another first weekend exit.
He's got all summer and will have resources normal folks do not. At that age you can put in the work and get results.
Based on the first 2 seasons Scheyer hasn't shown he can develop anyone either. He's recruited 6 top 20 recruits that have played at Duke and none improved and a couple saw their draft stock drop.
Fwiw, Jayden is 16 years and 10 months. He'll be 17 in June.
And no, I don't love that, but let's keep in mind he didn't just turn 16. He's going to be playing at Kentucky in November not a whole lot younger than many other freshman were here.
