If both leave, which is highly likely, it would take a caneintally level of myopia to believe whatever hodgepodge of transfers we would put together could contend. Oscar was a transfer unicorn.

Is there a plan here?
- Thread starter Rupp'sRunt
- Start date
did he have a plan against WVU his 1st year? did he have a plan against Wi in 2015? did he have a plan against St Peters?
the answer to all 3 is no
it's been 13 years & he still doesn't know how to attack a zone defense.....where's the plan?
the only plan he has is the shady deal he made with Sharpe & his handlers & what did that get UK or its fans
be realistic, he has already stated the only thing that matters is getting kids to the NBA
CCC is nothing more than a 2 faced used car salesman
That lineup is so lacking it would totally unacceptable . That team might lose 15 games .
To answer the OP's legitimate question , the plan ? I'd guess its set on his *** and let his assistants do the heavy lifting. He will just set back and collect the check.
what IMPACT players? they lost in th 1st round of the NCAA to St Peters
Frederick never played a game, Wheeler couldn't throw it in the ocean & Grady froze up when it counted the most.
Yea, GREAT IMPACT
Sarr wasn't successful because CCC played him out of position, just like he did with Skal
CCC NEVER LEARNS from his mistakes & there are many to learn from
remember when Cal said no one could do this job more than 10 years, it just wears you out?
We are in year 12, he is in his 60's.
I say there is a plan we are not privy to. We will have a solid roster when said & done. I think they will bring in 3 more portal transfers
Perimeter scoring being the biggest need
We need skill out front guys that can score at 3 levels

I think we get 1 of Oscar and Sharpe back maybe both.
His back was against the wall after last season . The Boston and Clarke class was pretty hyped up and many thought that would be the class to get us back to the final 4 only to have one of the worst seasons in Kentucky history . We bounced back record wise in the regular season but losing to Saint Peters basically erased all of that .
Just read on KSR that a 7 footer named Diongue is going to visit. Said he wants to go somewhere where they develop him as a player. I guess he won’t be coming here.
It’s April 8th. We won’t know our full roster for at least 2 months. Settle down. Go do something else
That’s the problem with a lot of high school recruits. You don’t truly know how good they are till they start playing in college
I'm sure Cal has a plan
the question is how many still have faith that its the right one

and that's why you NEVER give them a major role on the team until you know what they can do.
Instead, our highly paid HOF coach puts a kid that should be a senior in high school in as starting PG for the University of Kentucky.
If there was ever a clear jump the shark moment, that was it.
But he may have topped it with Sharpe.

This year, so far, ALL of them.
Let's hope that changes real soon.
Zero. Nada. Zilch. That's who we've got right now. What a program.
@CatPhight hope you take this as a challenge. Lol.
Ok.. but again...which transfer did we miss out on? Which guy that has committed somewhere was someone that UK needed or fans would have wanted?
Spoiler - there aren't any
What sequel is this?? 13? 14?
It's the same thing every year with Cal's system and fans are worn out with the "unknown" roster, every single year since Cal has been here.
I even think it has worn Cal out the last few years since he no longer can choose first. He is having to settle on gleaning the field.
And that alone is killing his ego.
Not going to play that game with you. Not today Satan, not today.
Any player that I would list as a player of need you would just come up with a reason we don't need them.
It's easier to tell you who we have got. Nobody.
Probably a combination of everything you mentioned. I mean he was recently in Jersey, Canada and had meetings with Omeer, Broome and someone else I'm forgetting at the time. Also just had the big meeting with the 2024 kid as well. As far as HS kids go, right now isn't at all the time to be meeting with seniors, that's long past.
But you're right, it used to seem like he was more active
We will prob piecemeal together a decent roster . Add a Morehead transfer .. maybe get a directional school type transfer or a 1000 point scorer from the lumberjack league , and all the jock swingers will crow " we are set now " !!!!!! As long as fat, lazy John Calapari is the captain of the ship we are screwed . He simply has given up.
Exactly. Don't give these Cal Lickspittles any information when they demand it. They will just dismiss it and move the goalposts. Their purpose is to annoy and harass, NOT to have a real discussion. Bassy is the poster child for throwing a potato at you when you own his ***.
The plan is to load up on a bunch of athletic guards and forwards who can't shoot, but they play excellent man to man defense.
sad but true .. and then for some reason we give ups dribble penetration like its by design ?
You can't predict injuries, and Frederick will show himself to be a high level transfer this year.
Despite the end year results, I'm not discounting the success Wheeler and Grady had throughout the season. Wheeler was statistically one of best PG's in college, and Grady's tentative mindset and not his ability are what led to early exit.
I'd be happy to keep taking transfers with their level of production. The hope is to find players who are also good defenders and more aggressively look for their shot.
I think Hopkins wanted to stay but when your coach talks out of both sides of his mouth and you play 7 minutes in next 6 games after scoring 13 n 16 minutes to almost single handily win game
MAYBE HE'S THINKING 2 AGAINST 5 IS FAIR ENOUGH AND IT WILL SHUT EVERYONE UP AND PLAYERS WONT LEAVE BECAUSE THEY ARE GETTING ALL THE PLAYING TIME
Patience. April just started. I doubt the best transfer options have even made it known that they are entering the portal yet.
Right now, the key to the season, IMHO, is Tshiebwe’s return. If that doesn’t happen, it’s the same old, same old next year. We need a star to return. That hasn’t happened in a long, long time.

We were lucky tyty was still available. Wheeler and Frederick there were better players available. I wouldn’t be bragging about our last minute gets from last year. 1 was injured all year the other injured at crucial times and the other an under sized pg who cannot shoot
Trying to sale the kid on the benefits of him staying and letting a kid leave is different. Cal obviously doesn't sale development here at UK, only getting to the league as fast as possible after their 1st year. This is what my gut is telling me. Cal only sales kids on their first year here and not developing. Hence why the majority leave after their freshman year if they don't make it to the NBA.
One thing is for sure, we need a team that actually wants to kick a** and can. None of this barely beating inferior teams or losing to teams like Evansville. A team that wants to and will put teams away.
Sadly I don't think we will because of Cal and because of all the sensitivity stuff nowadays, players don't seem to have an edge to them anymore.
