Somebody educate me on the details, please. So May 15th is the last day for NLI’s, picking a school, withdrawing from the draft, etc.?

Blackshear is thinking NBA. If Blackshear doesn’t stay in the NBA draft, he will not announce that decision until the end of this month. I think Blackshear would perfectly fit into our next basketball team, but I have not seen any reason to believe he is coming to UK. Anonymous tweets don’t matter. People inside the program are forbidden to discuss recruiting. If we get McDaniels, our front court might look too crowded to Blackshear. I am not arguing which would play more, but I doubt Blackshear chooses UK if McDaniels is on the roster.

He's not a trainer but a complete rando from my perspective who may or may not have insider info. He's been making a lot of great calls lately if hes guessing though. Heres the tweet btw


Don’t believe this for one second!

It seems our mojo is back. Arguably #1 class.. and probably a firm #1 class when we get McDaniels. Strong recruiting for 2020.

I've said this a bajillion times and I'll continue to say it: FBI has nuked the cheaters, and for Duke, losing Capel was a double whammy. Kentucky recruiting has swung back and it's pretty clear to see why.

Yeah, I’m calling BS on the tweet... Blackshear may still come but that jack wagon doesn’t know anything. Cal has specifically said he never promises anyone a starting job. He would have to work for everything...

I don’t think it’s hard to believe. I’m not sure Cal would promise a starting spot but Blackshear averaged 15/8 in the 2nd best conference in the country last year and has...2500 career minutes.

He’s starting and playing 30 minutes a game here. Nick will finally have a legit D1 center to practice against to help him develop.

Why? McDaniels is nothing like Blackshear.

You guys have to realize that positon minutes aren't strict and silo'd. McDaniels plays the 3/4, that means taking some minutes from Whitney, Brooks, EJ and Sestina.. And Sestina and EJ might then play minutes at the 5.

It can be a ripple affect. Along with reps and touches. A player coming in can affect the minutes 1 to 2 positions next to them.

Yeah, I know that. I still dont think McDaniels scares off Blackshear. Cause I think both will play in front of Nick. EJ will get minutes. But Cal will figure it out. Best players will be on the court.

Agreed. He might not care. I guess I'm not worried about Blackshear or McDaniels.. they will get their minutes.. But it's more so Sestina, Richards and EJ.

If we get McDaniels AND Blackshear.. I can;t imagine Sestina stays. He going to play.. what.. 8-10 mpg? And if he plays more, that means the minutes will come from EJ or Richards.

Hard to play all of them. McDaniels and Blackshear would be the 6th and 7th guys over 6'7".. And the other ones aren't some 3-star recruits.. all 7 of these guys are here to play.

How do we make it work? I don't envy Cal, that's for sure.

Sestina is better than any of the freshmen. He and Blackshear could start. He can shoot and he has size and experience. Two things needed to win a championship.

Blackshear doesn’t need a promise for a starting spot. Based on his past performance, he would very likely be the best big on the team.
