I wish that I cared.

 

[akaukswoosh]

Detroit? Mercy!:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

God he should just commit already dragging this on way too long. Heard Detroit Mercy threw in some party favors on the visit. Hartford fell off his list bc its cold and the girls are ugly.

 

[UK_27]

Acting like a top 10 recruit Lol

 

[Dr. H Lecter]

He was the best 3 point shooter on our team so he should provide a lift to Hampton

 

[HagginHall1999]

I mean in all seriousness, if my Dad was the coach at UK and I was in Brad's situation, no shot I am leaving to go play 20 a game at Hampton or DM.

I wish him well, but I don't get it....I'd rather ride the pine and potentially win a title with my Dad...that would be priceless.

 

[westerncat]

I hope the kid nothing but the best. Maybe in years to come he could be coach at UK. So watch what you say about him.

 

[CELTICAT]

Hampton is in the MEAC, which is a conference of HBCUs.

 

[Col. Angus]

His moment has been earned.

Spoiler

not given

 

[mhroe1984]

I thought Hampton was an all-black school?

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Maybe we should Re-recruit him ? We need to score a " big" win ... lol .. too soon ?

 

[UKrazycat2_rivals]

Brad can be black if he wants to.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

looks like Hampton is 80 plus % black .

Yes. Exactly! IMO Brad is a lot better player than most fans on this board pretend too. Certainly not good enough to make the rotation at UK, but quite a bit better than a walk on victory cigar. He probably would have played some decent minutes in a few games this season when injuries and/or foul trouble takes its toll. He has spent 4 years playing against the best players in college basketball after having spent a year at a prep school after HS graduation. He has really put in a lot of effort into his game and has become a decent lower level D1 player.

Both Detroit and Hampton would be lucky to have him and I look forward to seeing exactly how much he has improved since we first caught a glimpse of him on the court.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Odd final 2, but best wishes youngin !

 

[-BBH-]

I heard it was down to VA Tech and UT? [winking]

 

[bucsrule8872]

Whichever one it is will be our first round opponent if they make the dance. Book it!

Is that you Brad? No way is Brad a D1 player.

No....

 

[wildcat1515]

Why is everyone hating on Brad?? He is OUR coaches son. Damn support him geez. I'm sure Cal would expect UK fans to support his son wherever he goes, not bash him.

 

[bigblueroscoe]

How thrilling.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

He probably identifies as black. You can identify however you want these days!

 

[wildcat_bigd]

When will this anticipation end for goodness sakes?

I think it’s the turtlenecks, gold chains, and line beard.

 

[Flipflopsandsocks]

Hampton is historically black, as in it's a school that accepted black kids back when a lot of major universities didn't. You dont have to be black or "identify as black" to attend.

 

[UKvisitor_rivals101449]

Hope this kid turns heads no matter where he goes.

 

[kygent2]

Hampton moved to the Big South Conference last season

He can dress how ever he wants and shave his beard how he wants it's his body. Just really don't get the bashing of kid and on top of that it's our coaches kid. One of the best and nicest and most respected coach we have had here in awhile.

 

[Poetax]

So many worrying about a walkon. Get a life.

 

[Wildcats1st]

95% of the student population is black. 2:1 female to male. Detroit mercy the same 2:1 female to male. 62% of students at Detroit mercy are white. It all boils down you like black girls or white girls???

 

[Bigtyrone]

Isn't that where we got Beast Pilgrim from?

 

[ScrooDook92]

If I was Brad, I'd go to Florida. Tell Blackshear I'm the messenger

Umm, he's a 22 year old college graduate with a serious girlfriend. I think he just wants to play basketball.

 

[bluedom44]

Good for Brad! I like he's an open-minded kid and willing to go to a HBCU. Says a lot about the kind of good parenting he's had in his life. Need more like 'em!

Let's show him the same support we showed Tubby and his son. Not disrespecting Coach but Brad was no more than a victory cigar type of player at UK.

Man, people today are over-the-top sensitive. Can't call Indians "Indians", can't say "mail man is here" without offending women, and can't be honest about the talent level of our coach's son without offending.

It's so bad in today's softist society that I even find myself questioning whether it'll offend my average white neighbors if I refer to my lawn hat as my "Mexican landscaping hat".

People can be respectfully honest with an edge of humor, just as everyone here is doing. Grow some tolerance and stop falling for "safe space" bologna in society.

If he goes to Detroit, home folks will think he is big there.

I could care less about what you call your neighbors other people or whatever. Just saying everyone is hating on him cause he isn't a 5 star recruit. He is the coaches son, all I'm saying is show a little respect to him and our coach. It's just useless to bash him for whatever he does. Like I said you can call society whatever you want. But why bash him?
