I'm sure I'll be in the minority, but sign him up. He's a gun, but at least he can make shots.
I believe he follows Beard to Texas, just a guess.
Really surprised we reached out as he doesn't fit Cals "mold" for a PG target unless you use him in n off Ball Herro/IQ role. Be really surprised if we offer but hope we do.
He is extremely athletically gifted and very skilled on top of that. He would be a very solid addition. Any other KSR listeners know his GF also goes to Morehead State / is from Fedscreek, Pike Co. TIFWIW, but the KSR grapevine said he was waiting on a UK offer.

No thank you...not a fan of his at all
We are reaching out to EVERYONE. We are in pure desperation mode now. Never thought I'd see it.
Not a fan. Give me Mckinley and Miller and wrap this up
When Askew left I just assumed Cal had a plan and told him is wasn't in it.Now it doesn't seem Cal has a plan in mind at all.
Mckinley isn't even in the portal.
I don’t get why people are passing on this dude. He’s proven he can score, he’s super athletic, if we can’t get Carr I’d rather have Mcclung then TYTY Washington everyday.
I didn't know eat first meant eat everything in sight.
Never understood the people that hate his game. He's exactly the type of guy we need. Incredible physical gifts just has to learn efficiency.
Everyone assumed texas, for good reason but now it isn't so clear. Hes in the portal awhile now. If it was texas wouldn't he committed right away?
Uk makes alot of sense for Mac, given proximity, a goal of making the nba, and apparently his girlfriend goes to morehead. I just didn't think we'd actually reach out

Washington is the plan and he’s really good.
*Eat everyone else's leftovers
Cal to all transfers: Anyone want to come here?
If Washington/Hickman are our only point guards next season it's going to be rough.
Have you looked at Cal lately?
If you thought Cal had a plan you put in more thought than Cal did
I guess no one told Cal he isn’t any good like some of our resident scouting gurus proclaimed.
I think Kyle Tucker had a pretty good answer to the "it feels like Cal is scrambling?" question:
"I totally get why it would look like a scramble, and while I certainly cannot rule out that this isn’t the case, I don’t really think it’s that so much as the plan is to make damn sure they don’t strike out. So it appears Kentucky is casting a wide net [recites names of players associated so far with UK]. One total guess in terms of a great fit: Colorado’s McKinley Wright IV.
So yep, that’s a ton of names and a wild variance in types of player and experience level .... But if you know it is an absolute must to improve your guard play, isn’t it wise to have a big list of quality options instead of putting all eggs in one basket and risk whiffing completely? I would say there is no chance Kentucky comes up empty here. While it feels like Carr is the no-doubt home run among the current publicly available options, I’m really intrigued by the offer to Washington, who dominated at Geico Nationals last week (in fact, he outplayed Hickman) and looks very much like a Calipari point guard to me.
Luke D. asked when it would be appropriate to panic as he watches Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas and others add high-profile transfers. I’d say if Carr, Miller and Washington all head elsewhere, then it would be OK to freak out a little. But even then, I would be inclined to suspect Calipari has something up his sleeve. He’s been a man on a mission since getting embarrassed this year."

maybe i'm the minority here but i'd rather him reach out to these guys. so many gave him hell for putting all of his eggs into the one basket last year (cade cunnigham). at least he is going after multiple guys. and he's not alone. every coach is. why wouldn't you? and at least he's going after guys who can actually come in and play. it's not bottom of the barrell. mcclung is a good college player who most wanted last year when he initially transferred from gtown.
it's better to reach out to all who could help instead of having only reached out to carr and then waiting.
like many of you i'm really bothered with cal. my main complaint is the roster makeup over the last few years. with reaching out to the guys he has, he appears to at least be trying to change the roster. would anyone argue any combo of the guys he's reached out to wouldn't be an improvement over askew, clarke, boston?
just for the record, i'd prefer other guys over him, but i'd take him.

It’s called having a full pipeline . He’s reaching out to quality players. Not scrubs. There’s a ton of options this year because of the new transfer rule and the amount of players in the portal. And just bc he shows interest in a player, that doesn’t mean he has to take them. He wants lots of kids to choose from. Then he can pick and choose. If there’s one thing Cal knows how to do it’s recruiting. On the high school and the college transfer level
Just because UK has reached out to a lot of players doesn’t mean they have offered or are seriously interested. It seems nothing will please the haters.
We're now at the "All you can eat" buffet. I just hope it isn't Golden Corral.
Do you actually think that Devin Askew would keep McClung from going to Texas ? So you think Askew is better than McClung. You don't really mean that do you bigblue ?Askew is at Texas. Doubt if McClung would go there.
Gauging interest does not mean UK has made an offer. It is smart for UK to reach out to as many good players as possible to gauge their interest. It may not even be Cal but one or more of the assistants making contact.
How do you know Cal has no plan? I bet we get a real good point guard.
See the little guy winking at the end of my sentence?
Same here, I would support him but I am not a fan of his game as a PG.
“He’s been a man on a mission since getting embarrassed this year.” What has he done honestly? Landed Grady and literally lost just about everyone else. Going to probably return 4 or 5 from a 9 win team, what am I missing?
