Will they/Have they seen the floor? Seemed like some walkons got in the game last night. I didn't see these two, nor do I remember seeing them in the exhibition games.
Braydon Hawthorne and Reece Potter
- Thread starter ftp000
- Start date
I think they are both going to redshirt this season.
Be a smart move get some nil money and an education
Has to be a redshirt thing even though those are rare nowadays. No chance Hawthorne isn’t at least as good as Kam.
Because in a day and age where each season of eligibility could be worth up to seven figures, some guys may prefer to retain it if they aren’t making the rotation. As fans we see a guy like BH and think he will be in the NBA within two or three years but that league has no guaranteed spots for anyone. If BH and RP are willing to redshirt, I say go for itWhy would you redshirt a kid this day in time?
Tsssh pay me that kinda money to watch UK play games from the bench and see what happens. 
I agree but there’s no guarantee a kid stays at the school. NIL controls everything
Kid says he ain’t leaving Kentucky until he’s a pro. Nothing is guaranteed, but Pope may be taking him at his word.
I also think it has been made clear to those two upfront they’re coming here to develop and redshirt. No guarantee that they’ll stay, but it has to be at least somewhat more likely with them knowing the plan upfront
Kam is going to be really good ,hes coming in from being a catch and shoot shooter to a guy whos gotta learn to move without tge ball ,shoot off the dribble and go to the basket! He's going to be fine in time he just needs to learn the system abd get comfortable.
If the kid wants to learn and grow at their hometown team? Both of them are basically locals. So situation created itself, and Reece also hast vast potential in Popes system but needs strength and conditioning.Why would you redshirt a kid this day in time?
plus,imo, it lowers chances for hawks to see tape on a kid and sell him in a transfer. Win for Coach.
