Charles Matthews Transferring?
- Thread starter CarolinaCat11
- Start date
Well, there's the speculative transfer people have mentioned all off-season. There's the scholarship...
Mulder doesn't have much of a future, and he came to UK with only 2 years of eligibility and behind 3 elite guards and a potential loaded 2016 class. Never saw him as a real viable candidate to transfer as it seems he wanted to be at UK regardless and knew the situation coming in.
I'm bummed to see Matthews leaving. Really thought he could be a good player in the next year or two.
Doesn't happen much to Cal - is this just the third transfer? Poole, Wiltjer, Matthews

I liked Matthews as sort of an MKG light, but his shot may've been so broken that he couldn't have even hit a Liggins-esque ceiling. Deandre could at least keep them honest out there. Hard to imagine Matthews being a consistent scorer at this level with that Wayne Turner fling.
We really need Briscoe back.We really have no depth at guard now.
Careful posting this thread, "It's frowned upon to put premium info (That's available to everyone) on the free board."
Big mistake for Charles IMO but good luck to him. Hope he has a successful career.
Matt got fished the story from HOB.
Poster there was on it yesterday with more details than being provided by MJ.

Well damn, I was really hoping Charles would be one of those four year guys who improved every year and could play a Darius Miller type leadership role for us. Sorry to hear that he's leaving and am definitely not looking forward to all the speculation from other fanbases that he was pushed out.
He's gotta do what is best for him. If he wants to be more of a scoring option/the man, it was never going to happen here. Best of luck to him. Hope he is successful wherever he goes.
Dang, I wasn't really expecting that; even though I remember some rumblings about it when the season ended. I thought he would be a solid player after a few years working in Cals system. I never really saw much of a scoring touch out of him, but I understand if he wants a bigger role than just an energy guy.
I wonder where he'll try to go to? I can't really see him having a bigger role at a top level school, though. He seemed like a good guy, so best of luck to him.

Very early on last season I thought he looked like he was going to be a very active rebounding guard and good defender. Just never panned out.
If we were going to have to rely on Charles Matthews playing a lot of minutes this season we were in a world of hurt anyway.
Hawkins was going to get most of those minutes regardless. Matthews would not have been ready to contribute consistently on a team like we're going to put out there, with or without Briscoe. That's not the type of player he is.
someone had to go, it appeared to be Lee, but I guess Lee can come back and get his degree. Come on down Bolden.
"Anybody gets hurt and we are in REAL trouble" To be fair, that's sort of the case with every season.
Charles was more of a 3, Willis should be able to play the 3 and 4
We are fine, good luck to Charles

Who knows, but I just don't think Matthews was going to play much regardless.
The point someone made about injuries is well-taken, but that's the only role I could've seen Matthews filling: as a kind of emergency option. He might end up hurting down the road, but as wildly limited as he looked to be on offense one had to wonder if he'd ever be a mainstay. (Somebody mentioned Darius; only problem with that comparison is that Darius was hellaciously skilled.)
But as an actual contributor this coming season, just don't think he would've been ready for that his sophomore season. If Briscoe leaves Cal is going to have to patchwork it and hope Gabriel can actually play on a wing.
At least EJ gets his scholarship back!!
In all seriousness, sad to see him go, but I hope the best for him.
I guess we get Bolden and Lee back now?
