Don’t know if anyone else knew this but apparently Kobe’s younger brother entered the transfer portal a couple weeks back and played for Mizzou(as a deep deep bench player). Wonder if he tags along as a token scholarship player depth if Kobe hits the portal too. Him entering the portal does suggest Kobe wouldn’t be returning to Mizzou even after declaring for the NBA while maintaining his eligibility.

Mizzou folks here say this is all nonsense started by some random dude on Twitter. I was told there is absolutely zero chance Brown is leaving Mizzou.

Power Mizzou is their version of KSR (except more connected). He laughed and said UK fans are morons if they believe this. Brown is staying in the draft most likely or returning to Mizzou.

I don’t know why people assume Bradshaw would be parked at the 4 for forty minutes a game.

A lineup of Wagner - Dillingham/Reeves - Edwards/Shepherd - Brown - Bradshaw would be unreal.

With Brown, Edwards, and Wagner, we would have some legit college superstars for a change.

And you think Cal is going to accomplish that? Zero chance. It ought to be clear to most everyone here that unless Cal is telling recruits that he's going to go with an empty bench, no one wants to play for him. He's 0-fer so far in the portal.

To be clear MeManBoy also said he’s not a replacement for Bradshaw and that he’ll be at UK. He also doesn’t think this means Oscar is gone. He said it’s likely the San Diego State guy, this guy or Chris Livingston.

I’m sure if he enters the portal Alabama and auburn will get a lot of buzz because that’s where he is from

How do you or anyone else here know this? No one is privy to what UK or Cal is going to do in the portal. The Kentucky basketball staff has a plan in place that you know nothing about and so you speculate with your complaining.

That's a lot of talent, but that many freshmen being depended on has not worked a lot more times than it has. You just never know how they will translate over into the college game or how long it will take them to catch up.

I haven’t either, but if Tucker is hinting at it, there might be some truth to it
Same but I can definitely see it. He won't be an NBA star by any means but he could step in immediately on a contender and be a decent 3-and-D guy off the bench and also has great intangibles. Could definitely see him going mid second round

UK can get involved all they want but getting a good transfer to commit here is another story. This guy is 6'7 240lbs so assuming he is a 4?

I guess if we lose Bradshaw this would be an upgrade at the 4.
He would be a good backup to Bradshaw at the 4
Bradshaw isn’t going anywhere and will be here with the rest of the freshmen in a couple weeks. As for Brown, he’s no one’s backup and is an instant starter and star for anyone in the country.

If I were a nba team I would take a flyer on a guy like brown over Livingston, but since livngston is younger they would rather go Livingston

This would be a great get for UK. I'm guessing the move is either because Bradshaw is leaving OR will cause him to leave. Edwards & Brown need to play together, and that pushes Bradshaw to the 5.

I personally think Bradshaw needs to play the 5, and can play lots of minutes facing up to the basket. This is also where I think he plays at the next level. But, if he's hung up on us not having any depth at that position then I won't complain if he leaves. (BTW - I'm not saying this is true of Bradshaw, but there's been a lot of recent smoke in that direction.)
They were raving about him at Mac D game talking about he's 3 point shot. Said lot of players were talking about him. But said he didn't play well with hes back to the basket. I have no idea. Just repeating what I heard. Could be very good by the end of the year. It would be rotten to leave this late. Maybe Cal is tired of he's demands.

Exact opposite.
Bradshaw is not really a post up big man. More of a face up player. That’s why all the talk about him playing the 4.

Of course Brown is better out on the perimeter as well, but if they are paired, you probably want Brown down low fighting for a basket, when you really need to score.

Just my opinion.

He hasn't been connected since BCG was around. This is Mr. Wrong on Purpose himself. He tried to go toe-to-toe with Matt Jones back in the day and wound up in Mexico or some ****.
He was right on some of the transfer stuff recently, but I guess we will have to see, I have seen that comment about him not being as credible anymore
