Isn't it funny how the worst team in UK history is still somehow going to get 3 players drafted?
We shall see about 3. I wouldn't bet on it. We don't know who else is coming out or who the overseas guys are.

I know he says he'll pull out if not a guaranteed lottery pick but we know how it works at Kentucky. Seeing Clarke & Boston both sign with agents will only reinforce his decision or telling about how bad this draft is going to be. Not holding my break on an IJ return.
Yeah I definitely don’t expect him back

So much for getting guys to stick around for multiple years Clarke yesterday and Boston today those are the guys that we need to stick around for multiple years! I like that Ware, Askew, and Allen are coming back but that should've been expected anyway. It's the animal that the car salesman has created and he can't stop no matter how much he says it's going to change! Yes don't let me forget Fletcher and Sarr is gone so we now have 4 gone for sure so far off of a 9-16 team wow just wow!
If Cal brings in another second tier 5* to anchor the team to, he needs to move on too.

This will be three more kids that Cal will brag about "WE PUT ALL THOSE KIDS IN THE LEAGUE"
Yeah, because none of those guys would get there without you Cal.

How can we be 9-16 with 3 NBA first round picks? I truly believe we would have won more games without Boston on the roster this season.
Jackson can and likely will go 1st round. Boston and Clarke 2nd if at all.

Bad look for KY CAL when Clarke sits out most of the season goes pro anyway then Boston who underperforms goes too. It’s the culture CAL has built here. If you stay more then 1 your a failure.
All the people that buy that Cal is going to change that man isn't changing if he was changing it would've started with players off of a 9-16 team!

Hopefully Calipari can pick up a few transfers. I don' t know where else he could go at this point. We don't hear much about guys from overseas. I know some teams (like Gonzaga) have pretty good luck getting these guys. Maybe Calipari should give it a try?

As someone who thought he might be smart and come back it’s a little disappointing since I felt like he could have played his way to the lottery. But I know we don’t want players that don’t want to be here. Might have been part of the problem to begin with.

I do get your point though, the one with the best stock is playing it safe when the other 2 have only fallen but reality of the situation did not stop them.
Yeah it’s just a terrible situation . I think some were holding out hope that maybe 2 out of the 3 would return. Now it’s down to 1 . It’s just crazy for a team to win 9 games and lose possibly 4 freshmen with 3 going to the draft . We have never had a season like this under Cal so with us still losing a good amount of players it’s impossible for this fan base to expect to see major changes in regards to guys coming back .

I tried to be cautiously optimist and hold out hope too a couple would return but this seals it for good. After this, seeing the like of Ortons, Gabriels and Skal's leave early I can't believe I still let myself get hoodwinked. No more!

He's going to keep doing it, it's the only thing he knows how to do. He just blames the failures on crap like Covid and "We're young".

He has **** on uk basketball.
You aren't kidding this isn't the UK basketball I grew up loving he's slowly destroying everything the previous coaches have built! Poor Rupp glad he isn't around today to see what UK has became!
