- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
Not that I am not excited...but injuries have happened a lot lately....not much room for that if one or two miss games with injuries. Plus Wheeler getting the lion's share of PG minutes worries me
I actually hope Cal adds two more. Dillingham and then maybe a 4/5 who can stretch the floor and give us depth behind Oscar and Ware. I don't like the idea of Ware and Collins as our only interior reserves. Anticipating that guys develop a lot during the summer has historically left us disappointed.
So excited about this announcement, finally
I love Toppin and his game and think he could be a force with Brooks out of his way. He is very athletic and I think he will display better shooting from outside as well as going to the basket. Great to have him back officially.

If Dillingham re-classes and comes this year....where does that put Wheeler? Hope he comes..need an elite PG for Oscar
Thank you for posting this. Way too much positivity in this thread. Who do these people think they are. Well said.
Cal actually hyping fans to watch Sharpe announce he's staying in the draft?Nice.
Agreed.
Dillingham and Grandison.
Dillingham in the backcourt and Grandison as a small ball/stretch 4.
And before everyone says Grandison is not a 4, he played the 4 spot for Illinois most of the time last year. He’s only an inch shorter and 5 lbs. lighter than Brooks, so size is not an issue. 41% from 3 at the 4 spot. Yes, please!
We are top 3 now easily maybe #1.
You guys might want to lay off Calipari for a while now.

If Sharpe was smart, he'd stop making announcements when we know he's not returning. There's only one announcement I care to hear from Sharpe at this point: I'm coming back. If it's not along those lines, I think I speak for most fans.. we don't care to hear it.
He has to? The bar has moved so many time. Top 10? Lol his handler said he would be number 1 pick next year. And cal doing his smoke and mirrrors routine. Has peoples jacked for toppin when a month ago he said her would be back. Cal “look over here the guy I told you is returning. Forget we lost the most hyped recruit to comitt to uk since ad”. “You’re getting sleepy. Soon you will forget all about losing to a 15 seed and a nine win season likes you forgot the recruit.” Lol
Please explain to us why and what has changed? Cal hasn’t landed anyone. As a matter of fact everything he swung at he missed this off season except Reeves.
Who is Sharpe and why should I care about his NBA announcement? It’s not like he is a former UK player or anything.
You really are a ridiculous sad poster. You missed your calling. You should be in politics. Spin it for your agenda. That's in high demand right now.
If Toppin becomes a better ball handler to go with shooting he has a huge upside. Put the work in JT and the sky is the limit. Great to have you back for another year.
We are preseason top 3 in nearly ever single preseason poll;
Look at our roster
Its Frightening
We will be #2 behind North Carolina but its not justified.
We have more talent, experience, size and makers than everyone!

There would be no floor spacing whatsoever with that starting lineup. Wallace is the only one who could possibly be a consistent perimeter threat & he hasn’t even played a college game yet, so, we don’t even know that for sure. If Wheeler starts at PG we have to have Fredrick or Reeves starting at the 3. Otherwise, teams will sag off Wheeler & clog the paint & make things really hard for Oscar & Toppin. Wheeler handicaps us offensively & we have to surround him with 2-3 consistent shooters who can at least keep defenses honest. I’d much rather bring Wheeler off the bench & go with Wallace at PG, or, hopefully Dillingham. This team does have enough pieces to be pretty versatile & effective on both ends, but, we HAVE to get our shooters on the floor.
I gave you truth in the face of the great bamboozle. Call me what you want but I’m not here to sugar coat and forget where where we are. So if reality isn’t your thing then put me on ignore. The only spin on this last day for the draft is that toppin returning is some great thing. It is great but we already knww he would be back. For a month. Recycling news and getting people pumped for old news to distract from big problems is the oldest play in the play book.
I ain't spending one second waiting or caring what he does
LOL. YOUR TRUTH. Not THE truth. You're so jaded it blinds you. We're going to be really good next year and you hate it because Cal will keep being the coach if it happens. You'd rather see us suck next year. That's sad.
This whole situation is going to be a case study In some business school 20 years from now about how to scam people and going off of technicality
Oooh. I wonder what it will be? I can’t wait. The suspense is killing me…..I hope it lasts.
Exactly. He did not want to come back and be overlooked....again. Cal wanted Miller and Ky was the likely landing spot if he attended college.
30 minutes after Miller declared to stay in the draft, Toppin made his decision.
That’s like telling your kid “Santa couldn’t bring you everything you wanted”.
Cal needs to learn to ASMR and shut the heck up sometimes.
I wondered that. What's the latest he could transfer and still play next year or is that already passed? My first thought is that he would want out if Dillingham came.
Great news! Now let’s just hope and pray Cal changes his ways and some guys make outside shots on a consistent basis.
I know it can be hard to contain your excitement on these big announcements, but like calm down a bit Jacob you almost woke up my baby.
I think most of us knew Toppin was returning. As others have said he needs to work on his outside shot and ball handling and he will be fine.
