Shai Announcing Tuesday

[Bungalow Bill]

I think Shai is gone and he deserves it. Great young man that worked hard while he was here and improved so much that he went from 4 star to OAD. He's the kind of player that helps our program and recruiting by showing if you come to UK and do what you need to, the sky is the limit no matter what the rankings say.

 

[FFWhite]

SGA announcing lets a certain point guard recruit know the door is open. Hate to lose SGA and a recruit going elsewhere because he is not sure what SGA is going to do

 

[Cowtown Cat]

And here they come....

So true.

 

[Panthur]

Fahr Cal.

Haha figured y'all might enjoy that. Just going through some of the wife's pics this morning. I told someone on here the other day that i was gonna switch it up a bit. Just put this one up temporarily until I find one I'm set on. I may put an even better one up later. Some of them just won't fit the circle avatar very well.

Edit: Thanks, man. Appreciate it.

Yes, you told me you were going to switch it up; but it took a while. Thanks.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

I'm generally supportive of these kids doing what is in their best interest and am happy for Shai.

But I don't need orchestrated, scheduled announcements. Decide what you want to do, then put out a tweet. The word will circulate. Then celebrate with your family. Don't treat it like some big drama you want us all to share with you.

You’re usually spot on with your posts brother but ...

What exactly is it that you “need? “

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Yes, you told me you were going to switch it up; but it took a while. Thanks.

No problem.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

No problem.

Is that an eagle tattoo?

 

[awf]

Oh yeah, I agree
But it wouldn’t shock me

One would think that with the **** the UK has had happen to it over the years, that the Basketball Gods would smile and have a team return like Fla did................

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Is that an eagle tattoo?

To be honest, I can't remember. I don't think it's an "eagle" tattoo per se. Not 100% sure, though. I'll have to ask her again. She has like five on her back, you just can't see them. One of them is a Zeppelin tattoo that's pretty pretty sweet. That's her favorite band of all time.

Edit: Don't quote me on that. It very well may be an eagle tattoo. I'll ask when she get back home.

 

[morgousky]

Hope he comes back but happy for Shai.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Is that an eagle tattoo?

It's a sunrise tattoo, bro. Not an eagle. Haha

 

[Blue Decade]

I think Shai and Knox will be the only two that leave.

SGA, Knox are gone. Diallo is probably gone too.

LOL! Pretty big difference between the two. Did Mrs. Cowtown Cat reach for a cast iron skillet when you asked her what it was?

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

Wife has a tramp stamp and you’re not sure what it is?

???????

 

[Cowtown Cat]

No but I definitely got a "wtf" look. She wasn't real happy. I just asked again what is was. I honestly couldn't remember. [laughing]

 

[Cowtown Cat]

???????

Oh I knew what it was, just forgot. Honesty just thought it was a tribal design. Forgot she had told me before that it was a sun. In my defense, she has five back there. Hard to keep track really.

 

[SmoothRunner32]

Good luck, Shai! Here's a 15 minutes highlight reel of his season.

This ^ I am really glad for him as he worked hard to get better. Hope the best for him in the NBA. NEXT !

 

[BlueRunner11]

My sources are saying they all return to make a run at the 2019 title.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Just glad @FrankUnderwood didn't shoot me out the saddle tonight with that question. Hated to ask her that, but I was honestly curious myself because I couldn't remember. Oh well, all is fine.

haha, you wildin

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

If he announces, Knox is gone too. Part of Knox’s logic surrounding a return was predicated on initial discussions with Shai and PJ that they’d “all come back.”

With Shai going, part of the reason for a Knox return evaporates.

I’m happy for both of them when they finally make their NBA decisions. They’re both gone, and should be.

Is Hagans reclassifying?

Also, why do we need him when we already have Green/Quickley?

 

[Cowtown Cat]

haha, you wildin

If wildin means about to smoke a fatty with the sexy wife, then that's what i am I reckon. [thumb2]

It means nothing about Knox imo. Pj is Knox’s roommate so I’d assume that if PJ goes, knox goes.

 

[Xception]

He no stay

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Anyone want to take a stab at which of these guys last the longest in the NBA?


Shai Alexander

Malik Monk

De’Aaron Fox

Jamal Murray

Skal Labissierre

Kevin Knox

Tyler Ulis

Bam Adabeyo

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

What is there to announce? Cal has already said they are all going to try out and leave options open.

I think Knox is gone as well but I don’t think it’s contingent on what Shai does or doesn’t do?

If I had to rank them

Murray
Bam
Skal
Fox
Knox
Monk
Shai
Ulis

 

[JC CATS]

Cal likes them to all have their own days so headlines are "SGA Goes pro" and not "All Kentucky players declare" gives them their own individual headlines.

2012 all announced together

 

[senonesy]

Never heard Cal say such a thing....

 

[Kats23]

2012 all announced together

But that was different. They won a title together so the narrative was announce together all at once to make the spotlight greater. Since then, all have had individual days for announcements.

 

[ZaytovenCat]

Well deserved for an outstanding young man. His stock isn’t going to get any higher and he needs to make the jump.

This is so stupid. He will likely be picked anywhere from 15-25. If he improved his shooting and decision making he could go top 5. That’s a big difference in not only money but in situation. If he leaves he will probably be drafted by atleast a decent team that already has a pg.

This fanbase has eat up all the bs and been brainwashed into thinking as soon as a player hits first round in mocks then they should leave or that a player can’t improve after one, two years at the most. WCS says hello.

Lol. Coming from the biggest moron on this forum, I take this as a compliment. And when he is taken as a lottery pick, you will slither away and not be seen like you usually do.

 

[MacGruber_rivals373249]

Who cares? He was killing us. Someone start a thread about who they want to win these final four games.

 

[Shaudylo]

Yeah who could possibly care about be decision of one our best players .

If him killing us is a reason not to care if he goes or not then we won’t care about any player on this team

 

[Blue_2_the_bone_rivals]

I think he’s gone based on what Cal said on game day about not forcing guys to stay 2-3 years if they go to college. Said “Who knew a guy like SGA would improve at the rate he did and be ready.”
