I have zero inside sources on the matter, but I think that if he redshirted last year that he is probably looking for more PT. With the recent addition of Juzang, I just don't see it happening. Unless he has become an elite catch-and-shoot type player, it might be in his best insterest to leave, especially given his immediate eligibility status. Thoughts?

Don’t worry OP, he has become an elite catch and shoot shooter. His little ham hock legs have become elite off the bounce. That, and his chest tattoo adds +10 points in athleticism. He’s getting up at elite levels (12-14 inches) on his jumpers. After considering all of this info, the kid is clearly staying. Imo.

The guy is great coaches son. He does himself with a Dad flavor. I am really glad he walked on (Not sure how that stuffed even worked.) for the Cats. We got him and his Dad for a few years.

Brad probably won’t be wearing a UK uniform next season! I bet we’ll see him as a grad assistant! He wants to be a coach!

This is just my opinion, but I have never viewed Brad as someone who should get meaningful minutes at UK. Gosh, can you imagine a situation where we are down by 7 to a team like Michigan State, then Brad checks in as the back-up shooting guard? You have got to be kidding me.

I am one of the few people who cringes when the Rupp crowd chants for Brad to play. I am also one of the few people who believes his minutes are given, not earned. I'm sure he works hard in practice and all, but there should be no reason that he played more minutes than Johnny David last year.

Once again, this is simply one person's opinion, and I don't mean to take anything away from Brad. I say this because I couldn't care less if he came back or not. In my eyes, he is the equivalent of a Sam Malone, but his "Calipari" name gives some UK fans a reason to believe that he should get good meaningful minutes in his career.

That being said, if he is looking for more PT, I would be very disappointed if that was given to him at UK.

Your ranting on Bran is comical, only the OP said he was expecting more playing time, jump him not the kid who hasn’t said a frickin’ word.

Did you not notice that I stated I'm not taking away anything from Brad? Maybe the comical thing is your inability to read.
