Well more guys will hit the portal after they withdraw from the draft . That seems to be the only hope . One I’m not sold at at this point .

We are screwed as long as Cal remains.
Reeves would make more at UK than any other option. It's a job and the best job is one more season at UK.
He may not want to deal with school another year. At his age I don't blame him but got to deal with it to play basketball. Surely can find 4 joke online courses to take this fall and next spring.

College sports needs a reset, that's what will fix this. Make it about students getting an education, who happen to be good at playing sports. I am completely okay watching 3 star players if it means pro money stays in the pros.But we don’t make promises and we only want players that are here for Cal not NIL money.
Unfortunately, it’s the difference in culture between the two programs.
You'd have to ask yourself why Livingston would come back.
What makes him think Cal will make him a priority any more than what he got last year?
Every year there is a Livingston on this team, sometimes more than one.
Guys that look at what is happening on the court and don't understand why they aren't getting a shot
sometimes its not a valid concern, often it is.
Oscar and Reeves are a bit different, Seems like Reeves got plenty of run late in the season and there is no reason to believe that would be any less at the start of the season, and Oscar is Oscar, you have to play him

Been saying it since the season ended. Oscar and Cal butted heads all season but I could see a “maybe he comes back” scenario but wouldn’t had been surprised either way even w a transfer.
Reeves on the other hand…I’ve always thought he was more likely to transfer or take his shot at the G league or overseas than to return. Cal had him regulated to 13-17 min a game once we got into SEC play before injuries and Wheeler quitting forced Cals hand and then it was clear he was our best weapon. The one game we had the full roster again (UF at home) Cal played him 17 min again despite him tearing it up prior to that. He’d be crazy to come back to a Cal coached team that is guard heavy next season w Cals beloved high potential freshmen they will have to fail 2/3rds of the season before they get minutes taken.
Well I stand corrected Kentucky did reach out to spencer interested to see I kentujcy is actually interested or not or how hard they go after him
Our entire sales pitch is "gtfo as soon as possible".
There’s kinda screwed and then without a paddle screwed. Those two don’t come back its panic time.
Just three days ago KWilt chastised the masses for disrespecting a HOF coach that signed a few freshman and has 7 returning players. Now he's ready to jump in front of a train. What changed?
I dont know West, we got 5 really good Freshman coming in. 3 are consensus top 5 and 4 are consensus top 15.
This is an all time group coming in, 3 guards a SF and a 7 foot PF. Stick Ugonna in to fill in for Bradshaw and Thiero to fill in for the guards and damn we good!
It’s never really happened ever. Even the Fab Five couldn’t do it.
I’m to the point that I don’t want anyone back. Force cal to play with the current roster so he can whine all year of how young we are and roster limited (of course which both are of his own doing). This is what he wanted let him prove his way his best 
. Team as it is may not qualify for the NIT!!!!

And that means what exactly? We’ve had top tier talent that absolutely didn’t pan out before. CBB is a whole different beast that in 2009.
Reeves had a workout today with the Bucks. There is no reason for him to announce his decision until he’s concluded these types of workouts and I haven’t seen any reporting on these for him to know when that’ll be.
His choices are pretty obvious.UK or G league.But playing at UK more than 1 season seems like a torture you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy these days.
Freaking clown show disaster at this point. I don’t want Reeves to come back and be unhappy but woof. We need decisions. If they don’t know by Monday? I’d be cutting them loose.
Word is we are close on a huge NIL deal for Ivan Renko, Jr.
Remember that dipshit verbal kent or whatever the hell his name is that said NiL wasn’t a issue at Kentucky and Kentucky was fine. Our ad and coach have this approach that grad transfer and recruits will come here because it’s Kentucky, what a arrogant take. These players want money up front and Kentucky need to start playing ball or they will continue to miss players and fall further and further behind
UConn, IU, Miami, schools like that they all need wing scorers
What an off-season. Cal better pull a rabbit out of his hat, cause this looks bad after coming off of three embarrassing seasons.
Do people expect Cal to pull the rabbit out of the hat, we tried with a few studs and missed on them. They weren’t UK material anyway, I’m sure there are a few D-III or D-2 diamonds in the rough we might get to come here. I’m sure he has a few more buddies that their kid can walk on if needed to fill in the roster.
Don't forget about Moises Globally II, he's the answer we need in the post.
Remember folks, Cal eats first. And then he has seconds. We fans are no longer at the table.
We re screwed if oscar doesn’t return we can find a portal shooter for depth
If Oscar doesn’t come back, its gonna suck more than than a noob playing COD.
People are giving Cal too much credit when they say that he's set in his ways on how to run the basketball program. HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT UK. His focus is the NBA and getting his guys there. Sure, he let possible transfers come here to check things out, but does anyone actually believe he would say "Nah, we're good, we don't need transfers"? He knows the roster is very thin, but he does not care. I know that *I* would not "change" if I had his kind of money, but we've all seen it where that kind of money seemingly gives a person complete immunity from doing the right thing or setting a good example. Cal literally doesn't have a worry in the world. He'd laugh in UK's face if they fired him, and then pack up his dogs, wife and daughters and head back to the New England area.
At some point don’t you have to wonder just what is going on in the locker room? I mean do we just ignore what appears to be a mass exodus from pretty much the entire possible returning group from last year. Is there a culture issue? Is this incoming freshman class scaring people off. There has to be something going on. Everyone appears to be desperate to not be at UK next season. I’d love to know why.
Why do you Cal haters make these idiotic statements? The man has the #1 recruiting class in the country. He's not going to be fired because he hasn't signed a few role players yet. Act like you have sone common sense.
Evidently, one season under Cow is all some players can take.
