Matt Jones thinks Reeves returns

[sk73]

I hope Reeves does back. I really hope Livingston stays. Both are starters next year.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Cal can't retain any fringe guys.

It's why he'll go down as the biggest disappointment in college basketball history before it's all said and done.

 

[Tampa_cat54_rivals112262]

In all honesty we ain't winning with a bunch of freshmen in a down year next year. Other teams will return their studs.

Punt Wheeler. I get it if Wallace is a 1st rd pick and if Oscar can get drafted but there's no one else on this team that should be going anywhere.

Wheeler, CJ, and Collins need to be GONE.

Ware needs to never play again (if he wants to come back to be a leader off the court, fine, I like him as a kid, but should never play).

 

[BBallin23]

Get Fredderick out and return reeves and the other non seniors.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Give me Oscar, Chris, Reeves because we don't have 3 point shooters coming in, or get a top transfer, Collins, Toppin, Ugona, and Theiro to go with what we have coming. Go find a sharp shooter and have a roster of 13 next year. No more injury bs, no zero pg games. Go all in.

 

[Kamuka]

I think Livingston will be back but he needs to make a huge jump in improvement for us to do anything next year. Teams full of freshman rarely make it deep in the tournament.

There will be shooters in the portal if ccc is smart enough to sign

There will be shooters in the portal if ccc is smart enough to sign them

Portal hasn’t been good to us, Sestina/Reeves/Grady all shrunk tourney time

 

[SemperFiCat]

Getting Reeves back would be absolutely fantastic!! I'm happy if any of them (other than Wheeler) comes back.

 

[Delk4three]

It remains to be seen whether or not next year's roster is poorly assembled. You want me to look into the future?

No, it’s called learning from the past , so you don’t repeat it.

 

[ruppcat]

Seriously....who on this team is nba ready? I don't see one player ready to compete at the nba level.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Most important returns are Oscar! Him with next years group would be dangerous.

I mean I hope we keep Chris, Theiro and Ugonna too.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

I’m disappointed too …but the guy played well this year

For sure, him with guards who can beat their man off the dribble consistently should be good, he will get even more open looks than this year, he just has to hit them and put in the work

 

[Delk4three]

There will be shooters in the portal if ccc is smart enough to sign them

Cal doesn’t have a very good track record with recruiting shooters, athletes on the other hand….

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

We are a better team next season with Reeves on the roster

Period.

Ugonna potential is really exciting to me, if he puts some weight on and learns to rim run and catch lobs, then Kentucky has something

 

[bookerfan66]

Period.

It doesn't matter if we still have the washed up coach.

 

[dave5164]

Return Reeves and Livingston as I felt both played well and especially down the stretch. I thought Livingston improved during the SEC Conference and if we didn't have Reeves UK would had lost a few more games. He was the only shooter we had this year. Wallace started off hitting from the outside and shooting 45% from 3 at one time. Reeves had a bad game but once again UK didn't have anyone to step up and knock some outside shots today when Reeves didn't score today. If we had a couple more shooters then they can step up and knock down some shots when a shooter is cold and off for that day. We just need some more shooters and another that needs to be addressed UK had a terrible bench after our starting five. WE have Collins, Ware, Theiro, and Fredrick and none produced any offense and no defense.

better than reeves? doubt it.

 

[Wally2000_rivals]

Ware will be back

 

[TheJuddDome]

I want him back. He sucked today but he played well for most of the season (Arkansas game was incredible) and there won't be as much pressure on him to fill it up next year. Ideally our other guards will be better and we won't have to rely on him as much.

Too inconsistent. I mean how do you do an ofer? Just not reliable.
We needguys with better mental toughness.

 

[SpritzFritz]

hope he comes back, along with Tshiebwe and Toppin. Throw in a very talented freshman group and Cal's coaching, and we may have something.

Dude you're killing me with the Wheeler midget gifs

 

[dave5164]

I believe it is crazy when I see fans on here and on RR say it could be time for Oscar to move on to the NBA. Oscar had 43 rebounds and 33 points and 25 was today. I would love to see Oscar for another year and most NBA Mock Drafts for 2023 doesn't have Oscar in the Top 60 in 1st or 2nd round draft. He would make more money staying in Lexington another year and play for UK. Oscar, Livingston, and Reeves returning with our Recruiting Class would be an outstanding start for next season. I saw where UK was interested in Harvard's Ledlum from the Transfer Portal which he averaged 19 and 9 this season at Harvard.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Ware will be back

LOL

 

[Dr.LutherSan]

Stop it. He was the SEC 6th Man of the Year and shot 41% from three for the season. It's absurd to not want him to return because of today's performance.

 

[gojvc]

Matt Jones wants clicks…..knows nothing. Doubt seriously Reeves come back. He can go Europe and do well.

I believe the quality of play in the European pro leagues is better than you think it is.

 

[Kamuka]

I think if Oscar comes back then Chris is gone for sure. No way he will want to come off the bench.

100%. Reeves is a MUST to get back to Lexington.

 

[gojvc]

Seriously....who on this team is nba ready? I don't see one player ready to compete at the nba level.

I don’t either. Not even Wallace to be honest.

 

[fabcat]

He can come back. But he needs to earn every minute he gets. If he starts going 0 for then he needs to sit. He isn’t good defensively so when he’s not making shots he’s a huge liability

 

[RACdad]

If he is a complimentary piece that's fine. But he can't be the guy. I hope Oscar comes back

 

[KyCatFan1]

As long as Cal stays and we run this garbage offense, we could bring in Delk, Murray, Booker, and Lamb in their primes and current Cal would have them struggling to get their shots off and probably all playing injured or not at all at the end of the year.

 

[richbrookstomato]

After today WHY would he WANT TO return???

The pressure of playing at UK effected him MORE than any player I have seen at UK in a long time. From the way Cal addressed SR's returning in the postgame, it didn't sound like he WANTED any of them to return.

 

[track42]

He's a good bench player but that's all he needs to be.

 

[megablue]

Dude shot 42 percent from 3 for the year …I know he sucked today but he did play well first tourney game

He finished at 39.8% to be exact.
A good percentage, for sure, but he was a little too streaky.

 

[megablue]

I think Livingston will be back but he needs to make a huge jump in improvement for us to do anything next year. Teams full of freshman rarely make it deep in the tournament.

100% this ^^^

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Really.......the guy we need coming back that's a freshman is....Wallace lol

 

[K_TIME]

He just had the single worst tournament performance I’ve ever seen a Kentucky player have.

Relax

1. The entire team scored 40 Georgetown in 1984
2. Herro his auburn games in final eight was terrible
3. Jamaal Murray was a mess va Indiana in second round

Reeves shot 41 percent from three for the year He’s a solid shooter. He should not be your top scoring threat outside. Next year he should fit better with better guards to ball handle Being a pure sniper vs dribble too much should fit better next year

 

[Catlogic15]

I believe the quality of play in the European pro leagues is better than you think it is.

Perhaps. But I think Cal forces a few out, even if not ready, to open up guaranteed starting and playing time to his precious class coming in. Let them muddle through the season and “hope” they gel at tournament time. That’s what we are now. Hope.

 

[Cats192]

It's easy to be down on him after this game.

The problem is he was the ONLY shooter we had. Surround him with DJ, Edwards, Dillingham--give him a floor with actual spacing, and the guy can do the things.
