If that’s true, then hopefully things work out well for him. It’s gotta be a disappointment to be with a school only to be told later “sorry, but you need to find somewhere else”. I know it happens across all schools and all sports, but still
Agree, that would suck. It's all Joel's fault, the current staff wouldn't have recruited him.

Hey if the guy doesn't want to play with Oscar tshiebwe then let him go somewhere else!! Maybe if I'm a player I want to jump on the Oscar tshiebwe train! Everybody gets to eat. Go take your chances sky

This is assuming that Oscar's coming back which I do believe he is

A lot of this is simply Cal didn't want to pull the plug when the guy was injured. If he didn't get injured in the Summer right before Peach Jam, everything would've separated then. Their camp didn't care for Cason Wallace/Nick Smith Jr being offered and rest of staff didn't care and told Cal to offer anyways. Wallace thankfully ended up a Cat, but I think Smith Jr would've if Cats parted with Clark at that time. But it's over now, so onto the next options.
Can you think of any guards out there that may have some interest in UK in the transfer portal? I mean, I'm sure almost every guard would be but I mean that has been linked to UK in any way, like Oscar was.

Over rated and dad always is look for more $$$$$$. Dont be surprised if he ends up at Duke LSU or Auburn.
I was gonna post that this smells of Bruce Pearl being involved at some point. He and Auburn are a hot commodity right night. Flash in the pan so to speak.
But, Will Wade is a distinct possibility too.

Would you like Smith on UK's roster hypothetically? Lots of mixed reports on him due to that injury

I what @ralphdaltonfan says more than anything.

Reading that story on KSR he also made it seem like he has lost confidence that he won’t be able to live up to being able to play for a school like UK. Especially after both of his injuries have seemed to slow him down. I still think that to make it sound better it’s exactly what @ralphdaltonfan said Cal and staff probably told him it would be best to look elsewhere!

Reading the interview on KSR was Clark paraphrasing what the UK staff told him and made it sound like his decision IMO.

Hardly knew ya.

Kids today scared to possibly be a backup for one year..

..so instead of playing backup and then balling out the next year and probably going to the league..they transfer and become 4 or 5 year players and relatively unknowns.

Memphis? I went to college at Memphis and hate them above all. I was born and bred UK by my family in Mayfield, Ky. I grew up on horses and Kentucky basketball. I hated that I had to go to Memphis but it was to play baseball and I lived an hour away. I wore a Kentucky sash to my Memphis graduation. I’ve been UK bred since birth. Memphis fans hate me with passion. It’s my least favorite school with UT. Grew up hating them because I was raised by a UK family.

I’ve spent more on UK than you, have more experiences with UK than you, and definitely own more UK memorabilia than you, and am a much bigger UK fan than you.

No one here believes a word of your horseshit.

Now I’m going to grad school at UK.

You’re stupid af and I mean that as nice as possible. Friggin weirdo. I’m going to put your accounts on ignore as I soon as I see them. Not interested in talking to bitches at this point in my life. Got it going to good. So you’re ignored.
Morgie everyone one knows who you are. Just a little Mempiss fan that has been terrorizing this place for some years now. You need to just calm down. Quit trying to crap on Cal and our basketball program just because he needed to get out of that hell hole.

Yea my hatred for all things Memphis is well documented and everyone does know that lol.

The funny thing is a few of us were really wanting Cal and you were one who thought he was a cheater and we needed to stick with Gillispie.

Lying about who I am won’t change that. Pretending I’ve ever been a fan of anyone other than UK just makes you look dumber than you actually are. Take it as a compliment.

Who is number ? It isn't the Cats, and cocky answers like you just made is why most other fan bases hate Kentucky. I have watched and pulled for the Cats all my life, but Calipari letting those players kneel during the National Anthem, and a lot of the cocky attitudes on here have soured me on the Cats.

You are right, instead of letting them kneel he should have dehumanized all of them, went on an evening bender and drove drunk like Few. SMH. Cal was between a rock and a hard place.

As for other fan bases hating UK, I love it. Fans are supposed to hate our team.

Tigers it was. 1st base. I was a long relief also, but in college focused a lot at first base. Up to that point I played everywhere but mainly pitched. I wasn’t that good, dropped out of high school and worked my way back later. Was lucky to get looked at. Wanted it to be UK but couldn’t get enough to them in time and Memphis offered a decent amount of scholarship.

Nick Smith JR? Hell yes-wanted him back in Summer and over Clark. He's an elite talent but he's signed with the Hogs. Only way UK can get involved there would be if Musselman took another job which I don't see happening but never say never.

Won't matter what Clark side says. UK isn't going to disagree or argue. They made their decision and if you split up with someone and want it to happen, you could care less who got "Dumped" in public eye.

Jesus, man. You’re all in on being an adamant a-hole. Ralph is a good dude with legit info.

Do you need to take a break from the computer?
It's obvious that you need to take a break, not me. Unlike yourself, I'll reply to you in a civil manner.

I never said he was a bad guy. This is an opinion board and I have every right to not appreciate an anonymous poster saying on various occasions that its a foregone conclusion that one of our Freshman is leaving after the season, and then while he's having a good game, say in the game thread "oops, maybe I was wrong! I hope so!" What kind of slop is that?

PS, you sure as heck aren't going to dictate my opinion, so use the ignore button if you don't like it as you'll get nowhere with me, pal.

I always figured if we ran a 3 guard lineup again he would be the 5th guard behind Wheeler, Wallace, Fredrick and whoever replaced Sharpe because I expect him to leave. This year we didn’t even have that 5th guard we just moved a forward to the 3 spot. Not only that if your looking forward to his sophomore year you have Sheppard and likely Wagner coming in and Fredrick returns most likely do he could be 4th guy then.

I don’t get the fuss over losing Clark. I think he will be a nice player but with the Transfer portal and the possibility of Wheeler returning this is nothing to lose sleep over.
