This isn’t just about Askew. My point stands.

Askew is a microcosm for what's wrong with the program. And while it may get better years from now, the next few are more of the same - struggles early on with a new team, taking bad losses and hoping it all solidifies by March.
The juice hasn't been worth the squeeze for a while. Your average BJW has been turned off by the program and felt detached for a while. The cycle seems set to repeat itself for the foreseeable future and apathy will continue to set in.

Sounds like it's settled then -- if you have a great freshman year, go to the NBA. If you have a marginal, or even a relatively poor one, go to the NBA.
But if you REALLY struggle and it's determined you're likely a 3-4 year player, then transfer.

Not true at all. Askew, however, doesn't have the talent to be a 2-3-4 year contributor here. JMO.
Juzang certainly did. Baker did. I just don't think Askew does.

Nah, he was mocking Davis/Miller as being 'clubhouse leaders' and talking down to his IC brethren about how silly that thought was when the Roy news first broke.
He will be deleting his twitter again very soon.

Homerun? Um no. He's a bases-loaded triple in the bottom of the ninth. Great "media" hires were slim to none and Roy groomed him for nine years and hand-picked him for the job. Players, administration, and the fans love him. He'll win big here. TFP. Sprinkles.
Going to be something like that I assume?
I’m bout to FedEx Devin Askew a mulatto chocolate penis today. F him, too.
I absolutely agree that the roster turnover is insane but what in the hell did Askew want? He played 30 touching minutes a game, did he want Cal to suck his d at half court and beg him to come back? I mean what the hell else could Cal have done.
Maybe he wants to go be on a good team and play in the NCAA tournament
What an absolutely forgettable recruiting class. My goodness.
I hate the turnover. Askew was looking at likely being our 4/5th guard and couldn’t handle it. I don’t know what you do there.
Now, Brooks has the 4 position wide open- or should be. We need him back.

If Brooks and Mintz don’t come back I’m going to be RATHER PERTURBED
Brooks + stud transfer PG, and Mintz as extra Gumby bonus & I’ll be damn excited.
2 of those happen and I’m still pretty good.
Can’t stop thinking about a 23 & 24 year old backcourt of proven players with 200 combined starts.

Askew could've stayed 6 years and likely wouldn't have been good enough to start at Kentucky. That was a failure of evaluation, nothing else. Glad he's gone, wish him the best. Let's not let it happen again.

I think Collins and Toppin are better than Brooks. If Brooks leaves then that will
mean less of him at the 3 and a possibility of 4 guards together on the floor at times.

Lotta sugar coating going on for fans of the storied University of Kentucky basketball program.
Fingers crossed we get a few good transfers to replace all of our transfers!

We are going to suck again. There I said it. Until proven otherwise I'm taking that view.
Anth, you can have a new play on Cal leaving for the Knicks.
You can call out Hickman next year with a "Go run your foundation co$%succker!"
How ******* hard is it to put KENTUCKY across the chest and not **** everything else up?
I’ll get back to bitching about unis when we are a winning team again.
Honestly, they should just start with a “K” on their jersey and earn the rest as they go.
It’s a photoshopped jersey you dumb ***, morons.
And I thought comparing Devin Askew’s long range potential to that of Tony Delk’s was the stupidest thing I read on here today.

I would be very afraid if it was Toots Palumbo. Not so much naked.
Not fully up to date on GYERO so I hope I’m not dropping this into the middle of a weirdly asinine debate... but we welcomed our son, Brooks Ryan, into the world on April 1. A little scary for a short while but ultimately mom and son are healthy and well.
I’ve taken far more than I’ve given to gyero over the years but this has been the one constant I could always escape to/check in on for a long, long time and it provided a sense of normalcy during the pregnancy. Thanks, ********
I have randoms but I’m sleepy so f it. I feel like I’m never going to get a good night of sleep again. And I’m 100% ok with it. I’m the guy that never was really sure I wanted kids... I’ve been terrified of babies and the thought of being a parent my entire life. And I f***ing love my son and this whole experience.*
*I reserve the right the change my mind thousands of times over the next 18+ years
