Like a friggin' bollard is solid.Wheeler is solid
They are going to get bent regardless of the outcome. They don’t have a choice. If you squall the sky is falling long enough, if you stop, your credibility goes to hell. They started with no credibility so by bitching about any outcome leaves them nowhere to go but up.Can the LOD wait until something bad happens before getting bent out of shape? You may be right, but you didn't 'know' how this would all play out.
Solid doesn’t cut it for a PG at UK. Not if we have Final Four/Title aspirations.Wheeler is solid
You took a direct personal shot at the OP. Tell me I overstated this quote.Wow, where did you get that. I was just trying to enjoy a great announcement. Take it easy.
Another poster who looks at the negative on a very positive day for UK fans. Gotta love it. I'll bet you are one of those who complains about why the 10th guy on the team didn't play after we win a big game in OT.
And the chicken boy cries again. Is that the talking point for you riff raff? If anything positive happens demonize the story and the one that delivers it. Personally attack anyone that supports it. I get that strategy strategy right for the hater boi’s?You took a direct personal shot at the OP. Tell me I overstated this quote.
Agree. This makes way more sense.I would have announced Sharpe first, and then Oscar a few hours later if Sharpe is truly leaving. Always break the bad news with the good. The opposite doesn't always work.
I cannot like this post enough. Seriously.I don't think anyone questions the right to voice displeasure over Calipari. We're woozy from the obsessive repetition.
Why does everyone think Toppin is the answer. He has been basically hurt since he got here, very inconsistent shooter doesn't rebound thar well and only plays defense half the time. He has flashes of brilliance but they are too few and far between, there are a half dozen guys in portal that would be better options at the 4 spotI am super pumped and thankful Oscar is coming back, but Toppin's return bears a ton of weight on our success next season. More than most are giving it credit for.
Back to back all sec doesn’t cut it? He averaged 4 more assists per games than turnovers. That’s anywhere between 8-12 more points than he’s giving up. His shooting wasn’t the problem at the end either. Tyty and Grady were both bad offensively and defensively. Kentucky shot 27% from 3 their last 7 games. Is that Wheelers fault? Oh no, think again. Wheeler shot somewhere in the 30% the last 7. Hmmmm interesting. So that must mean the ****** 3 point shooting came from someone else… that’s interesting.Solid doesn’t cut it for a PG at UK. Not if we have Final Four/Title aspirations.
This. It makes zero sense to plan it as Oscar first. If you want to spin doctor that situation you let Sharpe bolt, let everyone work it out of their system for two weeks -then- you cue Oscar and all is forgiven or at least as close as it’s gonna get.I would have announced Sharpe first, and then Oscar a few hours later if Sharpe is truly leaving. Always break the bad news with the good. The opposite doesn't always work.
He is an important piece, but think PG is the most important at the moment. Now Wheeler is returning, insanity.Why does everyone think Toppin is the answer.

Nothing will make up for Sharpe using this program like a free practice for half a year.With Big O announcing he is returning to UK, this tells us what we all have been wanting to know. Timing is everything, especially with Cal and UK. With this news, Sharpe will announce he is heading off to the NBA, likely on Friday. Oscar's news will conveniently take some of the heat off of Sharpe's impending decision while fans are joyed that Oscar is returning.
This is one of the oldest and most effective tricks in the book, look over there while this is happening over here. This was all so predictable, as many of us knew how this would go down.
In ending, Sharpe will be headed to the NBA and shortly after his announcement, Antonio Reeves will be joining the Wildcats next season. Reeves is one of the better consolation prizes we could have gotten for Sharpe leaving in my opinion.
Apparently he did know how it would play out. But you didn’t.Can the LOD wait until something bad happens before getting bent out of shape? You may be right, but you didn't 'know' how this would all play out.

Glad to see someone was paying attention lol. You didn’t “know” but we know you actually did.With Big O announcing he is returning to UK, this tells us what we all have been wanting to know.

High school teams have better shooters than that lineup. Frederick is the only shooter on the list. That's a bad shooting lineup even for Cal standards. Another flawed roster and that's becoming the norm..I think Wallace needs to play the 2 spot.
Wheeler is not the guy that will lead us to a championship. We need to fill a major void at the PG position. My other concern is Calipari forcing minutes to Wheeler when he doesn't need them/when he is playing bad. He has a terrible track record of allowing certain players to play when they shouldn't.
PG: _______________ (transfer) / Wheeler (backup, unless he leaves)
SG: Wallace/Frederick/___________ (would be nice to have another transfer here)
SF: Livingston/_____________ (transfer)
PF: Toppin (hopefully)/Ware/Collins/_______________ (transfer, especially if Ware leaves, which wouldn't bother me)
C: Oscar/Ware/Collins
Yep. Glad others can see this. Even if we pick up another decent shooter in the portal, we will most likely only have ONE deep threat on the court at a time. In 2022, that just won’t cut it.High school teams have better shooters than that lineup. Frederick is the only shooter on the list. That's a bad shooting lineup even for Cal standards.
