Antonio Reeves Just Committed

This aint 1950. They are all looking for the biggest check.
UK still recruiting Baylor. They need Baylor and 1 or 2 more players.
1950? Hell, this ain't 2015.
Apparently the only time the agent has any say so is when it's time to leave UK not committing to UK.
If he can sell Baylor on the idea of committing to this current roster then you all need to stop questioning that mans ability to recruit.
His top choice is the NBA. His top college choice is Kansas. He wants guaranteed minutes and shots that he won't be getting at UK due to Wallace and Livingston.
Reeves was more open to coming off the bench, so Calipari moved quickly to lock him up.
Paul George went to Fresno State
Ja Morant went to Murray State
Kawhi Leonard - San Diego State
Damian Lillard - Weber State
Stephen Curry - Davidson
Am I saying he's a future NBA all-star? No. But plenty of elite talent at mid major schools. Their problem is they are lucky to have one where a Kentucky may have a whole roster of them.
I know Cal doesn't guarantee playing time, but they need to give the wink, wink, nudge, nudge to Scheierman and tell him the SF position is essentially his, and encourage Livingston be a MKG-lite type off the bench.
There's still room for another guard/wing. And I think they'll manage Fredrick's minutes with his injury history. Scheierman can shoot, rebound and pass. Would be an awesome addition.

I think of him as replacing Grady's roll, which is an upgrade. AR is more versatile offensively than Grady for sure. He can create off the dribble and finish at the hoop, which were not in Grady's repertoire. Along with that, Reeves' is also a really good spot-up shooter and can put the ball on the deck to get his shot off, like Grady was known for.
Unfortunately, we aren't going to replace Sharpe, unless some crazy good high-school recruit comes out of the woodwork and we somehow pull him in. I believe Sharpe's void will have to be filled by a couple of guys collectively, which I believe is totally fine and will work. Wallace/CJ/Reeves and maybe one more guard we can grab, can handle the loss and keep us trucking along.

Having Oscar as a trailer on the break for a three would be effective. We did that with Patterson in his last year.
Overheard at Ky Hater Central:
At Calipiri sucks. Begot can’t do crap, CCC loosing cruits ever other day…
What? He committed? Ah ****…
At Calpari makin all this drama. He still lost at 15 seed game.
What? They made the final 8? Damn..
At Calipari, hic, all hell, hit me wit more of that whis…..
We need one more. One more piece. One more scorer and we will be elite…and if Cal can’t make the final 4 his time is up!
There's a little film clip of football players that rolls continually on this site. The other day, it showed wide receivers who outclassed their defenders. For the last day or so, it has shown cornerbacks who beat the receivers they're defending. Until players get here and step on the court there's not really a good way to tell who's who. Those lists of rankings seem dubious to me. You never know if the ranker knows anything at all. A coach might think X could fit in his system perfectly and yet he's "ranked" 19th. Do you miff the fans or do you go with your own eyes?
Great post and spot on, just because you get up in somebody doesn't mean your a good defender as they drive right around your supposed pressure.
If Baylor Schierman was what you are making him out to be, he would be a first Rd pick with a shot like he has. Unsure if he can guard at the sec level, but he is a really nice offensive player
Sharpe sat and watched the team struggle with guys playing hurt, guys missing games hurt! He never intended to play here. A warrior couldn’t watch that and not want to help. Good riddance!
Because playing with 5-star recruits Wallace and Livingston is completely different than playing with 5-star recruits MJ Rice and Gradey Dick.
Wallace and Livingston are both top 10 recruits.
Rice is outside of the top 25 on both 247 and Rivals. Dick is outside of the top 25 on Rivals.
So yes, most people see a significant difference between competing for playing time with top 10 recruits and competing for playing time with guys who are right at the borderline for 4-star status.
Scheierman would start at Kansas. At Kentucky he would come off the bench (and now he also has Reeves to battle for bench minutes.) He isn't coming to UK. You can doubt that as much as you want.
Who else are we looking at? We only have 10 counting Toppin and Brooks, right? If both of those two don't come back, we really need to add other players. Who is our 3? Livingston? Brooks?
I've been given the impression they are both coming back. Livingston is your starting 3.
I have a dump truck full of doubt in regards to Baylors ability to play defense and guard the perimeter with any sort of efficiency at the P5 level.
There aren't going to be a lot of Oscar Tshiebwe's in the portal. We got very lucky. Might want to lower your expectations for help from the portal. Cal needs to get back to getting the best of the best.
The Missouri Valley was rated as the 11th best conference this past season, right there with the West Coast, Confer USA, and the Southern.
It's hard to say how his scoring will translate of course, but some comparables from his league would be DJ Horne, who went from 15.1 in 20/21 to 12.5 PPG at Arizona St. in 21/22. Also, Javon Freeman-Liberty went from 19.0 PPG in 19/20 to 14.4 PPG at DePaul in 20/21 (Then got 21.7 PPG this year). Out of the Southern conference, Mason Faulkner went from 16.9 PPG at W. Carolina to 4.6 PPG at UL. Kaiden Rice went from 17.6 PPG at the Citadel to 11.0 PPG at G'Town. Strom Murphy went from 17.8 to 8.0 PPG at VT. Out of the CUSA, Malik Curry went from 15.7 to 9.7 PPG at West Virginia. Bryson Williams went from 17.8 PPG to 14.1 PPG at Texas Tech. Grady, meanwhile, went from 17.1 to 11.4 PPG at UK.
On average, these low-level conference stars are going from 17.1 to 10.7 PPG, with Faulkner at UL being the worst case scenario.
I honestly don't care if the staff are giving envelopes full of cash....I want some more titles at UK.
The other cheaters are getting them.
I am sure Cal is concerned that you think his time could be up.
