He’d prob go pro had Cal still been here
Let him go to Arkansas so Cal can continue trying to make a 1980s style back to the basket center out of him. He stands to lose a lot more than we do.
Cal didn't utilize him correctly last year, good for him having faith that he might next year, I doubt it but good luck
It's just a guess, speculation, a prediction. Doesn't mean anything.
My guess he will be parked on the bench behind some under achieving five star who Cal promised playing time.
Don't get it if true but good luck to him.

Would surprise me. It wasn't Cal putting up billboards to get him cleared but it was Cal utilizing him poorly in all but a few games. Well the ones where he got any minutes at all...
These projections don’t mean much. The assumption is he would follow the guy who “brought him to America”….he just hit the portal so ppl are following tea leaves and assuming.
Pope just talked to him today. We will see how it all shakes out

Damn man I’m disappointed also but the young man is just doing what he thinks is best for him.
Maybe the fans that bought the billboard to get him freed can send Cal and Arkansas the bill for that…. Pope honestly probably shouldn’t waste anytime on trying to re recruit any of Cal’s former players he’s wasting his time. Go focus on the transfer portal, Reed and Perry
I’d love to have him back at UK, but if not..I hope he goes somewhere that will actually utilize his unique skill set. I don’t see that happening in Arkansas.
Stuff like this is why many think our fan base is Kooky, and they would be right
Pope talked to Z this morning. Seems like a very short window that Z took to consider, if these outlets aren't just guessing. Maybe the outlets are grasping at straws and just putting 1+1 together with Cal's departure.
Wouldn't surprise me if he really and truly is gone.
No but now Cal REALLY needs him so he is probably making crazy promises
Oh well. The Williams guy is significantly more ready to win games next season.
That’s my point when I said transfer portal because I guarantee you there are more than 8 transfers out there.
As a fan it would do everybody good to quit worrying and worrying about last year who stays and who goes
Z: "So coach, I was working on my corner 3's all summer and I think my handle is really getti..."
CCC: "With that mindset, the only thing you'll be handling is the starting center's jockstrap! Get your tall @ss in the paint and bang it out down low! Alright, 20 minutes are up, that was a good practice. Huddle up, guys...1-2-3-Green Room!"

I mean he followed Arkansas on social media shortly after Cal left. This was always the plan. Good luck to Z.
But it's obvious that none of them thinks it's best for them to play at UK. Or they they think it's best to reunite with the losing coach that signed them, and stunted their professional growth. That's the problem. They were playing here, and smiling, but not doing it for BBN.
That’s good and when Arkansas comes to Rupp we will kick there @$$ back to Fayetteville…..No surprise! DJ to follow. Cal will misuse him and all that talent again
What is a short window. This isn't Z saying anything, this is likely some random dude speculating. Has nothing to do with the outcome of today's meeting. I really doubt Z ran back to his dorm and texted this dude.
Let’s all pump the brakes on this one! Z is supposedly a really intelligent guy like our coach is, and he would be the opposite of intelligent if he were to give Kal the time of day after how he was mismanaged by the clown! Arkansas NIL be damned
If Z leaves, he leaves. That would mean his heart is not into being here. He's in a tough spot, being that home is a continent away and his status limits his financial opportunities. Probably better off to go take a salary in the G League with Oscar, but I do wish he would stay. If he can't see how well he would do in Pope's offense then it would be both his loss and ours.
I no longer give the talking heads and "heat maps" any credit. I only believe truths when they happen these days!

Most players sign with a school because of the coach. If the coach leaves so does the players and that’s at any school. I don’t think it’s necessary to say _uck him just because he’s leaving.
Big Z does have a lady friend in Lex. They seem like love birds according to his Instagtam story today. I hope he can’t live without her and needs her by his side #alittlehope
Nothing showing up on Z's profile on 247 or in the Twitter feed for On3 sports. I have a feeling that the account that tweeted this out is FOS. Or has clairvoyance.
It keeps showing a screenshot of "proof" on the 247 site that I'm not sure is legit.
Y’all keep me up to date on whether I’m supposed to love or hate this guy. Depends on the hour.
Cant see anyone leaving what he can have going on ( wide open offense). top go to a back to the basket one one offense that Cal runs .. but this snake oil fooled the entire state for years . Not surprised he sold some nonsense too another young man
I addressed that in my comment with "of" and "grasping straws." If it's true that they've predicted that move, which there's no evidence I've found that says it is, it is likely speculation.
I love the passion this fanbase has. Keeping it civil towards the players is key. We cannot make someone want us, as we are not for everyone. Thus, if they don't want us....next!
I think some in twitter "media" sources (most of who I picture operating out of their mother's basements and eating Tyson Chicken nuggets as adults) assume Cal is a father figure to Z in the U.S. and that he has some kind of power over him. Z has already tested the NBA waters twice, so we know his goal. It is Pope's job to sell him that in his offense the league will see what it is they have not yet seen from him.
Burks to me is our key. He was the one who hyped up the team in the tunnel all season and was a positive cheerleader on and off the court. Get him 110% bought in and have him help sell BBN!

Even if it is stupid, lol.
