Nolan Hickman has Decommitted
- Thread starter Bcat44
- Start date
If this had anything to do with Mintz or another player, that announcement would of come first and then Hickman decommit. The hard truth is, this happened because Barbee left pure and simple. and if upgrading the assistant spot means losing Hickman, so be it... Hickman wasnt going to do much as a freshman anyways.
We lose another West Coast kid this time before he even steps foot at Kentucky lol
Something has to be in the works. Maybe he found out Miller is committing tomorrow or someone else. I just don’t believe he’s leaving for a better opportunity...he’s leaving cause someone else is coming.
It would be nice if we had a head coach that preached UK basketball as much as the "next level" ....... maybe they'd appreciate the culture we built for 100 years instead of constantly having 1 foot out the door.
Everything I have seen says Miller to lsu. Also Hickman said he wants to be one and done. Maybe g league?
Wasn't hickman recruiting Washington here? I doubt this has anything to do with a potential TyTy commitment.
Hickman was recruiting Miller to UK so i doubt the announcement of Miller is going to scare away Hickman. He came here knowing Askew and possibly Mintz was still going to play. Someone like Wheeler, Carr or Ty Ty scared him away...
NO MORE WEST COAST PLAYERS CAL!! Don’t even go out there anymore.
Sorry, Hopkins was recruiting Miller to UK, not Hickman
At least the cult is still spinning this as a good thing.
Why does it mean we have landed TyTy?
Other than Hickman decommitting has there been other recent sources Etc saying TyTy has committed to Kentucky? Genuinely asking.
That’s not surprising if so (I haven’t had a chance to read all of the thread yet).
To many of the John Calipari guys (not all), literally nothing ever is ever ever ever negative or bad or needs work etc.
maybe he has been reading this board and seeing how many on here do not think he is a good enough point guard to play at UK
you never know
you never know
My guess is we have other players coming in thus year that are better players than he is. I wish him the best.
This is your kind of news. You will be happy for a while now.
It’s a wonder the hate that some have for John Calipari hasn’t gave them ulcers or caused their hair to fall out. Good grief. We all want the same thing and that’s for UK to do well no matter who the coach is.
I am fine with this if it means we are getting 3/4 of Washington, Miller, Frederick and Wheeler.
To the Cal hate support group, this is a damn good sign. Big things cometh
Next man up. If he doesn’t want to be here, so be it. UK was continuing to look for a point guard so maybe that and Coach Barbee leaving was the last straw. It really doesn’t matter at this point. No doubt the pressure is on to find a legit point guard to lead the team next year.
That is one thing the one time transfer rule will do is you won’t have multiple great players on the same roster. They can just transfer to a school that needs that position
Well, have to think others are coming or Cal better pray they dont let fans in Rupp this coming season.
If it's because Cal is getting Carr or Wheeler, that just tells me that Hickman never planned on being here long term and if that's the case, this is fine by me. We don't need anymore guys that have 1 foot out the door.
If it's because Barbee was moved out, well, that's a pretty stupid hill to die on IMO. I don't even think Barbee's own kids would turn their noses up at a UK scholarship to follow their dad to Central Michigan.
If it is because he found out Cal is signing Washington, well, again that means he never planned on staying here beyone 1 season AND it means he didn’t want competition.
Either way, this is an odd decision.

Unfortunately there are a few on this board that seem to hate Cal more than they care for UK. The Hickman news makes them giddy.
I ::really:: hope he decommited because he learned that UK had landed someone who might take his spot because as of today this news sucks...
If that scared him off, then he better not be thinking he's an NBA prospect. Fan comments should never scare you out of a scholarship. He's pretty damn fragile if this is true.
I would have loved to have had him come to UK. He will be a good player. But he wasn’t the full time answer next year at point guard. Even if he was still coming to UK, the point guard position still needed an immediate difference maker.
