All quiet on the Dickinson front
- Thread starter RACdad
- Start date
I'll tell yah, if we lose out on Oscar because of Hunter, only to have Hunter pull the rug out from under us... I'll have a very easy #1 ranking for my "hope he tears his ACL" list next year.
Oscar could come back if he want to.How is that Hunter's fault?
I'd never wish injury on anyone.....
But I already don't like the dude. If he did that to us.....man....I'd have a hard time not telling him he's "Number 1" like Doug the Blue Coat.
Again what's keeping Oscar from returning?
Nothing about this feels like he’s coming to uk. It feels like we miss on him and Oscar leaves.
I don't think it's a stretch to think that Hunter *could* keep Oscar away. We already know he told staff to recruit as if he's not coming back, so I think if we get Hunter that will tell Oscar "ok UK is in a good spot, they don't need me"
I like this, "very quiet on his end, but not getting UK vibes". How can you have vibes when he is very quiet? I love when people speculate when they have no clue.
Well foe the same reason, Oscar seems to want to leave UK in a good spot. I don't see him coming back if Hunter is here. But I guess if the timing works.. maybe hunter goes elsewhere and Oscar comes back. In which case, perfect.
But it might also be that Oscar decides to move on, and then hunter doesn't come. Hopefully hunters decision is indeed coming soon.
Because the sooner Hunter makes his decision, the sooner we can really put the full court press on Oscar.
Unless Hunter has a poker face and is going to commit to Kentucky, this one has "thanks no thanks" written all over it. Oscar doesn't want to be here, and I have little faith he will make improvements to his game (not just rebounds) if he does come back. Cal is past the ZFG stage.
when it's positive vibes to UK..you guys dismiss it when it negative vibes you guys treat it as gospel....how you live your life like that???
I hope he does one way or another. If it’s us, awesome if not, move on to the next guy.
I'm pretty sure nobody knows where he's going. People just wild *** guessing.
I'm not seeing any drama. Just a guy taking multiple visits and keeping quiet about his thoughts til he makes a decision. What drama have I missed?
I’d be shocked if it’s Villanova. Can’t imagine there’s much NIL there and without Wright they’re back to a mediocre program.
Gonna be Kansas, UK, or maybe Maryland (hometown team)
i am talking with fans, not HD
Nova has his best friend, and is closer to home, maybe that can make up for some it, i still have the feeling it’s Kansas and has always been Kansas
After reading this thread, only one thing is for sure, nobody knows and people are just guessing, as usual.
Why do you say that? He took visits and plans on deciding soon. Doesn’t seem overly dramatic to me
Probably. But, when nearly all of the smoke is suggesting one place (KU) it is usually correct. Nobody can think it's a good sign that there is literally zero UK buzz with him.
I agree but there doesn't appear to be any reason to believe all the KU hype other than prognosticators assuming it's the best fit and Self's recent success in the portal. He's been pretty close to the vest.
It's not ideal.. but I'm also fine with a front court of Ugonna, Bradshaw, and Ware. We wanted to play smaller ball anyways. In this scenario, I think we need Ron Holland, or someone else to come in as a 4, and we could likely use a backup/reserve center. But give Ugonna 30-35 mpg and I think he *could* become a monster come march. And if not, still have Bradshaw at 7'0".. and I'm sure he can at least get us 7-8 rebounds a game.
More importantly, I want PGs and I want wings. You can make due playing small ball, but you don't win **** if you don't have guards.

Get Reeves back, and ADD another shooter/scorer like Dingle ... UK will be fine, talent-wise, at that point. If Cal whiffs on Dickinson/Oscar/Holland and doesn't add another legit scorer/shooter, next season is going to be a waste. They'll be 2 players short, and an injury to a starter away from being mediocre at best.
I’d much rather have Tshiebwe back, TBH.
Or add Holland at the 4 and play Bradshaw in a stretch 5 role.
