Jacob Toppin returning

Great news, we need Mintz to come back now.
Some of the fan base should be happy that he didn’t put out a press release or an article that he was returning .
Good, I expect continued growth in his game. Could be a great two way player.
Didn't realize this was even a ? considering the plan he was on-he was actually going to just sit/RS and not make up some story to play like 99% of the transfers were doing. I have a 5th cousin who lives in Hawaii and has a bunion, so need to move from Rhode Island to Kentucky to be closer to them.
Expect a big season from him and he's got the most upside of the tweener forwards that clogged the roster.

Yep, that would be awesome! Toppin and Mintz were my favorite players this year and I'd love to see both of them back. C'mon, Mintz, make BBN happy!
So we may hear "Jacob really climbed the ladder for that rebound" from a play by play guy next year.
could have transferred to Gonzaga due to fans reaction to kneeling!
I don’t think people counted him as officially coming back because we expect an announcement from each player instead of a guy coming back with no statement at all lol .
Getting players like him to return is always a good thing. I hope moving forward that this is more common.
It's crazy that we're there, but it's completely understandable for us to think way, considering.
Yeah, but we have seen worse players leave after 2 years of college. Briscoe and EJ immediately come to mind.
Genuinely curious- why is an announcement necessary? It’s just frustrating. There are 348 other teams that don’t have to wait in anxious anticipation for “announcements” from literally every single player to see if they’ll be returning. Especially players like Toppin.
It’s great that he’s back. Truly but the fact that we now get excited for a player lioe
Toppin to return shows how broken Calipari’s model is. We will still be losing majority of our team and scoring.
I will say I believe we’re going to go a bit above 500 next year so that’s good?

Always a special moment when our non-nba players grace us with returning for another season.
You actually found a reason to ***** about this? Who cares man, he chose to come back Instead of leave.
He could’ve tested the murky NBA waters.
The nba has realized they went to far with the "social justice warrior" position as they are pulling back a bit on this.
There is a growing backlash against the woke as the Left has once again overplayed its hand.
I believe he would have been drafted. Not first round, but drafted yes. I’m glad he made the smart decision.
Outside of IJ he’s our next best pro prospect IMO I honestly thought he was gonna test the nba and get feedback and then make a decision. Much happier he took this route. We’ve been burned too many times in the past like that.
Everyone is a question here.
Good to hear. It looks like we at least have some good pieces returning so far.
Devin Askew
Dontaie Allen
Jacob Toppin
Lance Ware
Oscar Tsiebwe
That could be a starting 5 if needed. Now, I'd love to see Mintz and Brooks come back. Not holding my breath on Jackson, but it would be awesome if he'd take his name out of the draft and come back to become a lottery pick next season.

4 for 4. I dont know why people are still finding reasons to force themselves to be upset.
Askew, Allen, Ware, Toppin.. during the transfer protocol, no less. And we still haven't lost anyone out of the 4 expected.
I know these names aren't going to set the world on fire, but its exactly what we all wanted. 4* talent returning to build a foundation, while still getting 5*s.
This could be going so SO much worse, btw.

Because at Kentucky it’s a miracle if a player decides to come back and not transfer or enter the NBA.
If Askew is our starting point guard it will be another bad season.
Well, maybe so, but he can improve. And he could also be a backup. We started this last season with him playing point with zero experience, so this is clearly better.
He didn’t make an announcement. He was asked a question and gave a one word answer. About as far away from an announcement as you can get.
But please, continue...
Bring back Mintz and Brooks, pay Hardy to come, and add a grad transfer point guard.
Great news that Toppin will stay. Hoping that Brooks, Mintz and Jackson stay as well.
Good news.
In this day and age they ain’t coming back until they say they are coming back.
Weird world we live in, but it’s not just UK anymore. With the new transfer rule nobody is guaranteed to stay at any school.
