    Reed and Travis Perry

    The kid also has to be willing to come here. If they're a 3 star then they're getting legitimate offers elsewhere to come play and eventually start, while here he'd be a glorified practice player and maybe see the court his junior and senior year.

    I Agree with Klutch’s Strategy Re: Livingston

    People don't realize this actually happens a lot in the mid/late 2nd round and has for years. Signing a UDFA contract is actually in most cases a lot better than signing a 2nd round contract, as you're in a bidding war as a UDFA and can get more generous terms, and you get to pick where you go...

    *Oscar CAN return to UK If he goes undrafted

    It's pretty obvious Oscar is done with college. At best he's a late 2nd round target, but with the amount of pre-draft workouts he did the odds are he already has a team with an unofficial UDFA contract on the table. In that case, his agent will tell teams in the mid/late 2nd round to not...

    Oscar can come back????

    He's didn't declare because he knew he was getting picked in the draft, he declared because he was ready to go play professionally overseas with the maybe 10% chance he catches on somewhere in the NBA. ------------------------------------------------------------ People also have to understand...

    "Like Seeing God"

    Google what is a simile? You mean a recruit or recent player referred to Cal as "like a god", very obviously in the context of basketball, presumably in what is was like to meet and talk to him, and you're somehow mad about it.

    Unproven Freshmen Over

    Yes but 1/15 makes everything irrelevant, it doesn't matter that he's the reason we made the tournament in the first place in the back half of the season, not to mention us actually winning against Providence. Or that Cal wanted to play him as a stand in the corner and shoot off the bench...

    Reed Sheppard and Thierro get minutes

    I don't get why some fans are acting like Reed is some bum that if he wasn't from Kentucky, would be lucky to have a P5 scholarship.

    You would think Reeves was Kobe Bryant

    The way some fans talk about Reeves, you'd think he was a 12th man off the bench walkon.

    If Cal Had Any Cojones…

    He could play him like a modern 5 instead of thinking playing center means back to the basket always in the paint.

    I need 2 more players

    Can't decide because Cal already promised starting spots to all the incoming freshmen, and Reeves being in his last year wants to start and make as much NIL money as possible. Both of which Kentucky apparently isn't willing to provide unless his meetings with Cal this past week or two change...

    I need 2 more players

    He was a make or break player last year and no one complained whatsoever until the very end. Heck without him last season, we're probably not even making the tournament. It wasn't until we put the ball in his hands and let him roll towards the end of the season that we finally made the push...

    Reeves update

    He's also a senior with little to no NBA aspirations, so this is the last year he can capitalize before going overseas somewhere. Why stay here on the bench with a coach that clearly doesn't believe in you when you could go elsewhere? He wants money and a starting job somewhere. Meanwhile...

    This updated mock draft has Oscar going in the second round

    A lot of players will have their agent tell teams not to draft them in the mid/late 2nd round so they can then sign wherever they want as a UDFA. Odds are this'll happen with Oscar. If he isn't drafted top 40 or so, his agent will just tell people not to draft and he'll sign as a UDFA with one...

    Matty Jones

    Cal can still sell it to high school recruits as the path to get to the NBA, and they're nationally known to the point they'll get national NIL deals if they want them. They're the players that shoe companies already know and have likely talked to. That doesn't work in the transfer portal...

    Reeves is "Weighing His Options" Regarding His Destination

    Where are people getting this idea that Reed is a surefire 4 year player? I doubt it happens, but it's not out of the possibility he's a one and done player like Booker did when everyone thought he was an obvious returning player. He's arguably closer to a 2 year player than he is a 4 year...
