Only have room for two more transfers if Mintz, Toppin and Brooks come back.

So you wouldn't want him back? As of now, the only ballhandlers on the team are Hickman and Askew. C'mon...

The frustration isn't that he's a bad player. It's that he came here with the mindset that he's going pro no matter what.

I used to think it was a social contract. You come to UK. You become the best version of yourself. You give UK all that you've got, help us win games and go as far as we can go.

And in return we help you get to the league.

Instead, he barely played. He was never the special player he was supposed to be. We got nothing out of him. And it's great to say "stop being entitled, they don't owe us anything." But we're never going to be great again if we continue to be a stepping stone for kids--and they just suck the entire time they're here.

This is similar to Vanderbilt, Khalil Whitney and other guys who did little to nothing while they were here. Clarke would massively improve his draft stock by coming back. He might actually benefit the school/team.

But he'll be a speck on the wall of time in UK history. A completely irrelavent one.

I wish him well, but I don’t understand the decision. If he just wanted to play in the G League or over seas, then why come here at all.
I think the kid has a lot of potential, but he never got to show it.
Are there any examples of guys that have successfully transitioned from G League to a big NBA deal? They may be out there. I’ll admit that I don’t follow it closely, but I just haven’t heard of anyone pulling it off.

This is spot on . I think this is the con to social media having these guys hoops mixtapes all over . These kids are buying into their hype even when they disappoint.

What does it say of our coach that he keeps bringing these players to UK? Matthews, Juzang, Gabriel, Diallo, Vanderbilt, Clarke, Fletcher, Whitney, SKJ, Baker, Wynyard, Green, etc.
