I definitely want this to happen,but I choose to be cautious until I know it is for real,go cats...!!!
Ill take a proven commodity over this weak HS class. Travis has averaged 20 and 10 in a power conference. Sign me up for that 24/7/365
Well, I have two issues with the first choice. First, I don't think JV will stay healthy and second, I've never been convinced Zion is anything more than a highlight reel player. I'll take an improving PJ and add Travis every day plus Sunday.
A tough choice but at the end of the day I take Travis and PJ because we get two somewhat known quantities as opposed to maybe one known
Wenyen and zion would have been great but I wanted P.J. back more than anyone and adding a senior that produces like Travis is amazing.
There was something off about JV all year. We seen it when Cal talked about it to the media. When has he ever talked about any other olayer like that? I bet Cal kinda gave him a backstage nudge or didn't really care to keep him honestly.
Johnson, Travis, PJ, and EJ all day every day.......... Zion is only a freight train..... I said since November I'd rather have Johnson because 1... the player with something to prove tends to work harder and want it more... and 2... Johnson is a better shooter and 3.. better defender. At UK the refs let teams play us physical.... so a player who can also shoot opens the floor up for everyone else also.
This, but if Travis comes, I'd take him and PJ over the trio of Vanderbilt, Wenyen and Zion Williamson. Travis is an experienced graduate senior that has put up great numbers the last two seasons. You have a much better idea of what you're getting with him (health permitting) than you do with a junior Gabriel, sophomore Vanderbilt and true freshman Zion.
And that doesn't even include the improvement PJ should make as a sophomore. PJ was the most productive of the trio and he's the one that returned. I'll take it.
IMO Travis and PJ are the type of players that have a major impact on the college level of the game.
Midseason, I didn't think Richards would return.
In November, I actually thought we'd have a frontline collection of SKJ, Zion, Moses Brown, PJ, and Gabriel.
I actually like the return of Richards/PJ and additions of Travis/EJ much better than that first option.
Zion's hype is quite different than what he'll actually do from a production level. PJ/Travis already know what to do on the court.

Yep, and as good as Vanderbilt was on the glass, Travis is almost his equal.
UK will have three high level low post threats year in PJ/EJ/Travis.
Has Cal ever had that at UK in one season? Maybe 2015 if one counts Lyles/WCS/Towns?
Very true, but UK is already a better shooting team next season. Not sure we need a stretch four when we've got guys like Herro, Quickley, Baker, and Green.
Plus EJ and Richards are both guys most of us never foresaw on next season's roster. Not bad to have two future 1st round picks as your interior backups.
My hope is that Duke has massive chemistry issues once Zion realizes he's a third wheel while Coach K is forced to play him on the block.
Would love to see a full season and 35 minutes/game for Vanderbilt.
I smell T R O U B L E at Duke, Zion will become a problem.
I think Matt Jones said it best on the radio today, losing Vanderbilt might be a good thing. With him missing the combine that means he’s seriously hurt so you never know when he will be healthy again. It could’ve been a situation where Vandy rides the pine all season trying to get healthy and then wants to play late in the season which could’ve created a big problem with a set rotation. All I know is glad the distraction is gone, will miss his talent but I think the way things are breaking it best interest for UK right now.
That's "Great uncle Godfather T" get it right they family.
I can see this happening. With all of the hype and You Tube videos floating around this guy can not live up to expectations. The more I see the more I am thankful he went to Duke because they need a little turmoil up there. I am also thankful Vanderbilt is following the dream of his family.
I will by happy with PJ returning, the grad transfer and our new recruits. Cal will be able to do something with this group
You asked if his question "was real?" instead of discussing the topic at hand. I understand if you don't have the wit to discuss certain topics, but it is confusing when you replace actual discussion with silly rhetorical questions. What does that even mean?
It's like asking if you'd rather eat a bag of nails, or a $100 steak...there's no discussion.
PJ and Travis. Travis puts us in the convo for #9
