Oscar had arguably one of the best seasons in UK history, won NPOY, and Calipari still managed to lose in the first round against a 15-seed. What’s there be to optimistic about? As of now, we have Livingston and Wallace coming. Toppin, Collins and Oscar back. That’s far from a “great” team.

Well I guess you'll have to go inside and cry?

For my own selfish reasons, I hope he comes back. But I just don't see it happening. It really makes no financial sense at all for him in the long term.

Oscar: I'm returning.

Miserable a-hole "fan": Don't care, I'm still mad.

Oscar: Mad about what???????

Miserable a-hole "fan": Mostly stuff in life, but I blame it all on Caliapari.

Oscar: Umm, ok. See la lil' buddy.
I’m thrilled Oscar is coming back. However, Cal lost to St Peter’s in the first round this season with him on the roster. You’re the one coming across as miserable. The last two seasons are legitimate reasons for people to have questions about Cal.

Yeah they loss the year. Itll be a different supporting cast and our players had a bad game. Most players aren't robots..

I think it makes financial sense to make 10x more at least money in college next year than in the g league, but I'm no financial advisor
Where did you get a figure of 10X? I think that is just pulled out of somewhere and not substantiated by anything including logic.

And do you really think he's not going to get a ton of local endorsement money on top of an NBA salary if he does go pro? That NIL money isn't just going to go completely away (it just turns into endorsements).

😂😂😂. You have said for weeks Oscar would not come back. But now that it seems he will you move the goalpost. You are a piece of work. Very high troll level.

Slater IMO is the best out there.I really think Oscar returns but Cal needs to put some better pieces around him than we had last season.
Collins and Toppins should be/better be better. Wheeler has a year here under his belt now. Cason Wallace is at least as good as TyTy, probably better, definitely tougher, and guessing he won't be as injury prone. Fredrick is a far better shooter than Grady. And I can't imagine Livingston won't contribute more than Hopkins as a frosh. Add 2-3 transfers and I think we will definitely have better pieces around Oscar.

Wheeler is what he is and won't change.Can't shoot or play in a halfcourt game.Cal needs to do anything possible to land Dillingham and have him reclassify.

He's not getting these deals if he isn't a UK player and in the g league

Man, he’s got you programmed good.
I'm sorry I'm not like your anti cal cult. I'm not abkut everything negative. I hear the what has he done in 7 years. 2017 was 5 years ago. 2020 we had a good season 3 years ago. Yeah no final fours or championships. The ncaa is a crap shot. I just won't keep being negative for attention like Brittany Spears, coming from a tubby fan. Tubby had no final fours past his first one.

The lack of performance in the SEC is the most concerning. And four years without a deep run is not kosher. This is Cals las shot I think. Between Mitch saying UK expects championships and the fans getting very grumpy? It’s put up or shut up time. He has to make the FF this year.

I agree. I was mad at end of season but since he didn't get let go right away. I'd say one last shot. I think covid screwed his coaching up and made him lazy. He couldn't do as much so he got used to it.

Getting Oscar back is good news, won't deny that at all. We hardly get any good players to stay, let alone player of the years.

That said, some of y'all acting like this will save Cal lol he had Oscar last year and we lost to a 15 seed. REALISTICALLY, we need Sharpe and Big O back to field a title contending team. Without both of them, it will be a year like this one, probably worse.
