As much as you try to provoke you“ll never be able to back pedal from your asinine posts about Cal and your secret “source”. Any minute now that breaking leak of super secret info will leak right……right? Just shut your mouth, you’ve already shot your shot and missed……..we all know.
Grow up. Quit fighting with people. And quit being a snitch.

Bro, I called you out as a poser which you are. Deal with the fact you have no sources. You jumped in read tea leaves and missed your shot. Now just go away. There’s an ignore feature, use it. I gave your the benefit of the doubt and did not respond to all of your subsequent nonsense afterwards. You my friend have not/will not let it go. Again, I’ll see you in April when Cal is still coach and again this will be my last response to you directly. You’ve continually came at me with no response from me until now. YOU are the one that needs to grow up and I’m done. Will not lower myself to you.

It was always the plan for him to be here one yr
I think so too. I look for him to leave.

I think Cal is going to ride this Freshman class as far as it can take him.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the five Freshmen start. Wagner, Dillingham, and Sheppard are all three good sized (6’3-ish) guards and Edwards is reportedly pushing 6’9. He could be a killer stretch 4. Throw in Bradshaw as a legit rim protector at 7’0.

I figure Fredrick, Reeves, Thiero, Collins, Onyenso, and Ware round out the 11-man roster.

If Chris comes back it would feel similar to having Darius Miller as the veteran presence on the 2012 championship team. Only difference is Chris could be the star of the team. Either way if he does stay… holy

I don’t think so. He’s vastly improved. If the NBA drafts on “potential“ as we know they do, Livingston would get a hard look. The fact he can already comfortably knock down threes is huge and checks a big box. Driving skill are obvious and he battles around the rim. I think we lose him. Hope I’m surprised but Chris will be gone I‘m afraid.
Don’t think so. He can drive when he has an open path to the basket. But he cannot take folks off the dribble and doesn’t have any one-on-one skills. Playing well at times and really should be a 4 year player. Different position but similar to what Bacot has been at UNC.

Drafted on potential only at this point.

Thiero got a bucket on a put back..I guess he is a lottery pick based on that..damn..Chris L has a good stretch of games and the BB experts on this board have him gone and a lottery pick..

No one said lottery pick. Quit making stuff up to take shots at people on here.

I’ll chime in with my personal idiotic opinion. Livingston may leave after one but it is not in his best interest unless he wants to live in the G league. He needs to work on his handle and shot. He plays decent defense and has a decent motor but is a below the rim 3 man in the NBA. I wish him well either way. Been fun watching him find his footing these past few games.

Livingston is rebounding the heck out of it right now. He's a strong young man and a pretty good straight line driver. Would really be nice to see what he could do at the PF spot next season.

He can make nil money probably more than he would as a second round pick, be a leader on the team and enhance his stock. He’s the kind of guy who would have left before NIL who now would be crazy to not stay another year.
That’s what I think. Without NIL he would be tempted to make a go of it. And he’s possibly a 2nd round if he keeps improving.

But NIL makes the decision to return an easier decision.

He’s never going to be the star of a team again. High school days are over. Can’t defend. Can’t consistently hit wide open shots. Can’t dribble well enough to shine at 2 or 3 spot. Cal won’t play him at the 4.

In Cal’s system, he won’t be a star. And he’s a career backup at best if/when he goes to the league.

Want to put your money where your mouth is? A writer on this site can verify that you are wrong. . This would settle it once and for all. What about it, Mike?

Cal and his family will realize he can move into first round after next season, and he will stay
I think he stays and makes money via NIL. He could be a top 10 pick next season and would be a great influence and provide some much needed experience to next year's incoming freshmen.

You should take it easy. You don't even know if he's wrong, yet.

Re: Livingston 10 years ago I never would have even considered the fact that he might not be back next year. He definitely should be, he could be a star next year and he's just a borderline draft pick this year. Recent history tells me it could go either way. I hope he's patient.

Yeah, I mean what NBA team isn’t craving a guy averaging 6ppg and 3rpg who had only 5 games in double-figures and is a huge defensive liability?
Totally agree....I can't see how Livingston in NBA for a few years will be worth much.

1. Happy he's rebounding so well....very good athlete showing what he can do vs. smaller wings in college.
2. He still can't dribble past hardly anyone....pretty bad handles.
3. His best scoring play is those little runners in the lane when he's left unguarded to the bucket
4. He is shooting 35% 3pt line...which is pretty average....but that is all we needed from him. But Chris is basically not guarded a bit in our current offense and he's wide open to shoot. And with that he's shooting 35% 3pt.

If he goes pro....it will be another player that we got the pretty bad stints of his game in year 1 and the last 3-4 games have been better but the 20 before that were pretty ho hum. So as a UK fan...would I call that a success?

It takes more than a few games playing at a high level to be drafted high. Consistence is key, can he do it every time out, if so maybe.

15 rebounds. Could easily be our small ball 4 next season with Edwards at the 3.
Wagner pg
Reeves sg
Edwards sf
Livingston pf
Onyenso / Bradshaw c

I think Collins transfers back home And Fredrick graduates.

Posted on John Calipari's twitter site five minutes ago:

"Our entire team just signed an NIL deal with a national advertiser and Jacob and Chris also each just signed their own NIL deals for nation-wide campaigns.
That is the Kentucky Effect!!"

Yeah, Livingston is leaving to be un-drafted and go make $50,000 a year for the Souix Falls Sky Force. Some of you people will do absolutely anything to to avoid leaving your world of gloom and despair.
Get a clue pal. No one is living in a world of gloom and despair except you. Quit hijacking my thread with your incoherent ramblings.

Thx brother. The guy calls me a liar by saying I made this up. I am ready to prove he is the one making comments with zero basis in facts.

I get people taking my post as what is was. A person with knowledge shared the info. I believed him and told what I heard. Being skeptical is one thing. Calling me names and saying I am a poser is another thing. I am done with him unless he calls me a liar again. If he believes what he says about me I will gladly take his money.

In my opinion, Livingston will be here next year and the NIL deal confirms it. No way some company signs him to a deal at this point in the season unless they have assurances he will be back.
