Who will stay? Who will go? I have a feeling we might get a surprise returnee. Either way, we have no idea what the roster will look like for another month and a half. Let the speculation begin.

We won’t know until the deadline to take your name out of the draft is (May?). They’ll all test the waters since there is no penalty.

“Begin?” [laughing] My friend that speculation began before they ever stepped on the court.

But to your point, my sincere hope is that we get at least one surprise returnee as well. There’s usually at least one that shouldn’t go but does, and one that very well could go that doesn’t. Who either may be, Nostradamus couldn’t tell you at this point.

Herro gone, Hagans gone, PJ gone, Keldon Johnson gone...and we pray some miraculous fairy visits Montgomery between now and next season improving his strength, shot and overall hunger for the game by about 1000 percent. Oh and shot fakes.....hopefully that gets brought up between now and next season....oh and not fouling the 3 point shooter. I could be missing a few things.

In the end I believe that if we had just a bit more cowbell we would have won the NC.

I agree on all the ones you said will be gone will be gone and if any of them come back it will be a bonus!

Just get hagans back with what we have coming in and returning and we are a preseason top 2 team. Can't blame KJ , Herro or PJ they are top 25 picks. You are supposed to leave if that is the case.

We have one underclassman I would take a chance on now. I am sure two are safely gone. The others need to return. Will we lose four,?

Give me four guys back and I like our chances. Five and I think we're one of a handful of favorites.

I think PJ is an example of why Hagans should and will return. Hot and cold play and suspect offense. Second round money versus first round and possibly lottery pick if he comes back and steps up like PJ did.

Yes it did and it always does.It took me 3 or 4 years to adjust my thinking about OAD,but I came to a place where I'm good with it.My solution is this,whoever puts on a Kentucky uniform and takes the court for us next season I will look forward to watching them play(as has been the case for longer than I care to admit:D)

I really just want Herro to come back and for IQ to not transfer. Assuming KJ goes, those are the two things I want most.

I just dom't see any way Hagans goes. He may go to the camps and combines but he's going to be told to come back. I just don't think the draft is an option, at the absolute BEST he's a sub 45th pick.

I think him transferring is a more likely option, if he's worried about other guards taking over if he continues to play poorly. Maybe Hampton (now with Jones returning for Duke), has some interest in Kentucky? Might be enough to make Hagans think of going elsehwere.

But that's purely speculation. I would be very shocked if Hagans left. And he's also not some top15 pick that Cal will say "you have to go"...

Where is Haggins going He’s not a first round pick ESPN keeps saying Johnson is a mid first round pick. I will believe it when I see it If anyone other than PJ goes they are making a mistake. How do these other schools get players to stay. Jones back to Duke. If a scout nods at one of our players they declare

Well Hagans came out after the Auburn game and said " I had a helluva a year" . When he came here he wanted to be a one and done I feel he's got one foot out the door and I think even as a 2nd round pick I personally don't think he comes back either.

Exactly. That's what I think as well. I just think the kid just wants to take his chances and go pro....2nd or 1st round I believe he wants out the door fast.

The very moment one of our players makes 18-22 points in one game the chatter starts about his NBA potential.. Even Nick Richards once had over 20 and many fans had him in the NBA. So here we go, will he stay or will he go. Who cares?

Only place Hagans Is going is Estonia if he doesn’t come back! Not much value in a PG that turns the ball over like he did in the second half of the season

Hagans would be making a huge mistake. Not a big market in the NBA for a guard that can't shoot.

There is a market for it but you have to be absolutely exceptional in other facets of the gsme (ie Rajon Rondo). However, Hagans is exceptional at nothing. He currently doesn’t do one single thing at an NBA level.

Big question is if he returns is he going to really improve over a summer that much?

Who's staying, who's going, what will ______ decide to do, is___________coming back next year?

It's tiresome and, I think I'll just tune it all out for now. I'll check back in a few months to see what's new with all this.

it is NOT a baseless assumption. He's pointed out in several interviews and postgame interviews why he came here and his obvious desire to get to the pros quickly.
Difference between a desire to go to the pros and the reality of it happening. Hagans will be back.
