Oh well. I thought a bunch of posters were saying a couple of months ago that we were going to get both Carey and Wiseman.

I want answers. I think I’m entitled.

I was worried about that happening. I don't think we have anyone else on our radar who is likely to commit. It's either find an overseas player, get someone to reclassify, or hope everyone returns that can. That will be Richards, Washington, and Montgomery to guard 2 spots or go small ball. I don't think we get at least 1 of them to return.

I honestly preferred him to Wiseman. Welp, better hope McDaniels and Hurt come. Otherwise better hope Richards and EJ return.

May have to go the Grad Transfer route again. I would guess that Washington and Richards are probably gone at least.

Still need a big, even if we added Hurt and McDaniels. Those guys are both stretch fours, finesse players who would get destroyed if facing a legit power big.

Forgot about that option since we rarely use it. Coach Cal better figure out a way to get some back channel conversations going for some rising juniors on track to graduate early. Is it against the rules to bribe a mid major coach to send one of their players our way? [laughing]

I don't know, game is different now. Depends who returns for UK. I do believe both Richards and EJ return.

Hope you're right.

Next year is still a potentially great season if we land Jaden and return one of the two bigs you mentioned.

C - Richards
F - McDaniels
F - Whitney
G - Herro
G - Maxey

All is not lost, but we're really at the point where we have no latitude for recruiting failures at this point.

Probably has a house waiting for him in Durham as we speak. Their recruiting class was pretty mediocre right now. Now I will worry about Whitney signing. If he decides not to now it will be a major kick in the basketballs.
Whitney said he was waiting till spring..

With the revolving door every season we absolutely have to come up with some Top 5 recruits if we're going to compete for a National Title.
