Aberdeen to Florida

He's not eligible so whatever

Good for him. Appreciate what he did here on a 14 loss team but there was a 50/50 chance any shot he took would be an airball

 

[mdluk1]

Well that sucks.

 

[anot]

As long as we have sixth men starting it don't really matter anyway. Get some studs. Aberdeen was solid. That's it .

IDK, he showed a penchant for clutch 3s. Watch Golden get lucky again and re-create the Clayton magic.

 

[bleedsblue5]

What was the point, just stay in Florida to start.

That's not true
Dude was really good playing out of position with nobody else that can dribble a freaking ball. His numbers are really solid. 36% from 3
I turnover a game. Be sour all u want but that's simply not true. I would rather have him 10 times out of 10 over Colin Chandler

 

[RoyKent]

WTF?!?!

Probably $500k to a million. The most he will ever make.

 

[FLBBNFAN]

You cant make this stuff up. Who knows if he will get an extra year but if so he's back to Florida. Crazy times in CBB.

Because UK overpaid to get him.

 

[StuBlue270_uk]

This is getting ridiculous.

 

[JohnRambo82]

Pope made him miss his old coach apparently

 

[UKCowboys]

DA is a heck of a player, was unselfish, played out of position and balled out for us. Pretending he is some 6th or 7th man is pretty childish and just not a bright take. Good luck to the young man

I liked DA. Wish he would have stayed had he gotten a waiver. This is crazy though. Let’s get Oweh back if everyone gets a 5th year.

 

[Henogee1975]

I appreciate DA, he was good and always played hard.

And I would bet a burger that he gets eligible

 

[gtown965]

He played in 12 games totalling 41 minutes his freshman year. He shouldn’t get a waiver.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

This can’t be right, lots of the so called insiders said he had to enter the portal to apply for another year but really loved and wanted to stay at UK!

 

[GoBIG BLUE]

Another blow to UK's / Popes image.

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

 

[Smeegs]

Meh. We already assumed him gone, and he probably won’t be eligible anyways.

So who cares?

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

He shouldn't but somehow he will. Seems like zero rules in college basketball right now.

 

[FLBBNFAN]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The only obvious reason for sure.

 

[KampusKat]

Assuming he gets waiver, how does this reflect on Todd Golden?

 

[JimboBBN]

He won’t play another college game. Not worried about it.

Cam’Ron Fletcher is getting a fourth senior year. At some point you shouldn’t be eligible for college ball.

Edited to add. With Fletcher getting a 7th year, it’s almost a lock DA gets another imo.

All I can guess is that he is hoping the NCAA acts quickly on a 5 year rule which may include playing a 5th year.

 

[JonathanW2]

Clara Strack: Come get yo' man!

She must not be all that.

 

[MichaelGray]

The talk surrounding this new 5 year eligibility is that it'll start applying to next year's freshmen class if it goes through, no one is supposed to get it that has currently ran out of eligibility.

 

[TreyzAllDay]

Denzel is a very MID player!!! Everyone fretting about him going back to UF is trippin. He’s not starter material any way you look at it! Good riddance!

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

It's strange to think how this plays out as a matter of negotiation. Did Kentucky and Florida make contingent offers? Will Florida now just hold Aberdeen's salary in reserve in case he gets a waiver? Will Aberdeen work out with the team before the waiver decision?

 

[Beatle Bum]

I know I don’t want to see that guy across the ball from our team. He really developed in the one year he was here. His experiences at PG make him a valuable asset. Now, will there be legislation to permit 5th years? Will the NCAA buy his claim about limited play? Will Todd Golden lie about why DA did not play more?

This is why God made popcorn. Entertainment.

 

[Gilead12]

Feel like Golden likes to rub it in our eye. Either wants to coach here or gets off on feeling superior to UK. Easily the most annoying coach working. Best of luck DA.
