Good Luck
I’m sick
Maybe this is the last recruit we have to be sick over for leaving one and done

Reed declares
- Thread starter University-6
- Start date
If Pope had coached this team..
NATIONAL CHAMPS!
I was wishing beyond real hope he would return for one more year but I totally understand him going. He's projected in the top 10 with no guarantee he would be that high next year. Have great success, Reed. I don't watch much of any NBA but I will keep up with how Reed is doing. BBN loves you, go make us proud!
The best pure 3 point shooter I have seen at the college level. I am 60 years old and he is the best I have seen.
Have to chuckle at all the anti nba guys making an exception for Sheppard. Extremely predictable.
It certainly didn’t help. Hard to sell Reed on next year when he has no idea who would be playing with him.
Since this is a weak draft and he will be a top pick I don't blame him, but I don't think he is physically mature enough for the NBA right now. He will have to grow into the job.
Agree...he going to see lot of stuff going on he's never dealt with. Hope he's strong.
Best of luck to the kid, I think it's a horrible decision though. Even if he left kentucky and went and played somewhere else he needs another year in the college game. Has all the gifts but he's way too young mentally and won't have enough time to correct for that at the next level. I get maximizing on the weaker class but at what cost? He could out of the league before his rookie deal is up. Will be a hell of a Euro player in three years though.
Last one I remembered was Noah at Florida….came back to try and repeat
No one expected him back at UK so no one was surprised by his decision.
Also interesting to see what his legacy will be here. I'm not sure it's going to be as high as we think. For as good as he was at times, for his legacy, and for what an ambassador he was... he played 1 year, lost in the first round of the SECT and NCAAT, and also really disappeared a lot of games (yes some of that is on Cal).. i
It's hard for me to put him above even guys like Herro, SGA, Nick Richards.. and certainly not above guys like Brandon Knight, Bledsoe, Terrence Jones, The Harrisons, etc..
Sure, he's a Kentucky kid.. that's cool and all.. but his career here was a dud. Flame away lol.

ready! And then buy a new TV!I sneakily agree with this. Had some great moments but ultimately his legacy could’ve been a lot more valuable if he had a different coach.
I sure hope this is the last of these ****ing one and done freshmen. In the end, he's just another one of Cal's fail and bail players. Kudos to him for playing himself in to all that money, though. Take care of yourself first.
He's gone. He said "one day I'll return" at the end of the message. I hate it. Happy for him, hate it for UK. Pope's chances of making a real run next season just left the building, I'm afraid.
NBA drafts on talent & potential, not team success. It actually shows how bad Cal wasted their talent while they were here. You don’t have Dilly, Reed, and All American Antonio and not win a single postseason game. Thats a travesty and maybe Cal’s worst coaching job ever.
I was quoting the kid in the Christmas Story; when he dropped the lug nuts
It's inexcusable and unforgivable and Cal knew it. I think it's part of why he left.
I don’t know if he did. I still believe Cal didn’t want to leave and made a ploy for NIL money. It failed because Mitch was just looking for a reason to get rid of him without the massive buyout and told him to kick rocks. He knew he couldn’t come back. Either way, I’m glad that era is over and we’re moving on.
Wasn't sure you'd be familiar w/ Ralphie's work...I know. Just adding my own sediment.
My father worked in profanity like other artist worked with paints or clay.
it won’t be. Sure, coach pope probably won’t bring a whole squad of guys expecting to go one and done, but he will attract some.
Plus, in a case like Reed, he wasn’t expected to leave after one year. He had a heck of a season and earned a high draft projection. That’s going to happen again, specially if you have a good team.
While I wish him the best and will follow him, he is a Kentucky high school legend, hopefully a NBA and basketball legend, but it is nonsense to call him a UK legend.
Gerald Fitch would need a telescope to see Reed in his rear view in that pecking order and he can't see Anthony Epps with the James Webb.
