Update From K. Tucker
- Thread starter Tampa_cat54_rivals112262
- Start date
I don’t see any reason why he’d get less playing time than last year. I guarantee he’ll be a much more efficient 3 point shooter than Wagner or Dillingham
If that's true, then all he can report is how much Cal is disliked. That is really all this board is about.
August. He can lie and change his mind later.
Come on fellas, we all know what’s up, this isn’t our first go at this! Cal has PROMISED his starting 5 their spots, and everyone else, including Reeves will be backups, and he has no choice but to be honest.
Problem is, Reeves and 99% of transfers expect to start, even at UK, and that’s not going to happen with this group. Ugo only returned when he was promised Oscar’s old locker, and Bradshaw used Klutch/ USC to guarantee his 4 spot.
Cal is holding himself hostage with this group’s recruiting promises.

Barbie needs to be fired before next season.
He acted as if he wanted to take on one of the Indiana baseball coaches yesterday.
I hate Indiana but would’ve loved to see Barbie get decked!
I wouldn't be surprised if Ugo was promised to start or at least a certain no of minutes.
No one should be promised a starting spot, including any of these transfers or recruits.
Like cal is gonna take an nba front office job? Cmon man I’m begging for some good news. I want to watch our team win again. This is some lame stuff watching nba playoffs with guys cal underachieved with. Had bam monk and fox people!!! Couldn’t get to a ff! Had pj Nick shai and others. No final four. All this nba talent and very little to show. Underachieving U.
I believe Reeves is gone. If he was staying at UK I think Cal's office would have already announced it. JMO.
Well he would get players before wether they were UK material that’s an argument for another time. Now it’s like we can’t get but 7 players I mean 7 total players. That’s why I’m saying something isn’t right and something just isn’t adding up here.
I think Reeves is the only transfer weve got since the NIL stuff started. And he’s not sure if he even wants to stay. Makes me wonder if the big boosters arent putting the squeeze on Cal which would be completely understandable.
Andrew Slater hinted at something like that.
The two freshman are starting at guard, that’s a big reason Reeves might not come back.
That slater post was hinting that there was frotncourt openings at Kentucky it’s not about reeves
How do you know they are scrubs? Did you think Thiero was a scrub last year? What about Scottie Pippen, Jimmie Butler, Steph Curry? None of those were highly recruited out of high school
And, no! I am not comparing these guys to those guys. Just pointing out that we don’t know the future
Stupid question but can Cal strike an NIL deal or donate to one?
If I was him, I would take $3-$4 of my own millions to sign a guy or two- his legacy is on the line and that's a drop in the bucket to him.

He is not supposed to strike NIL deals but these other coaches are doing it and not caring
That will never ever happen….but I’ve wondered about the same thing Tampa
I guess I'm asking from his own salary- you think other coaches are doing that?
If I was Cal, I would do it in a heartbeat.
AR has figured out he has nothing to learn from Couch Cal, other than how to F up an offense and set a DVR.
No my bad I misinterpreted what you were saying. Other coaches are promising money up front and are not afraid to do it
This is a completely stupid and ridiculous statement. There is not a single coach anywhere who is doing this.
Yes there is, coaches are offering kids money up front, not from their salaries but they are guaranteeing these kids money, if you don’t think they are your a stupid and ridiculous statement
Does it matter if it wasn’t, the point is the coaches and other teams don’t give a crap about following and of the rules right now and willing to do things Kentucky isnt
Cal may not promise but it’s inferred. Cal plays the 5*’s whether they earn it or not. Gotta meet the NBA expectations and showcase them. And he will not bring in experienced talent that could take their playing time. It appears that Cal places getting players to the NBA quickly over winning championships for Kentucky. He needs to go.
It is past time for a house cleaning Barnhart and Cal need to be gone. Womens program is also a shambles
Idk, seems like he was trying to win from 2009 to 2019. Not sure what happened since then.
These post COVID gen zers who are Kentucky good want to be playing not riding pine for any length of time. So if they’re decent they are going elsewhere. It begins with since cal arrived he never built a program. A team year to year but no culture other than massive turnover.
I haven't seen where anyone has being promised a starting spot. I don't think anyone else has either
That’s true, but Cal has been so bad, the only way he is going to get good players, especially kids with handlers and NBA aspirations, is to make promises. Anyone that thinks these 5* kids are coming to UK without promises, is just not smart.
I would not be surprised if any and all potential donors were refusing to do NIL for UK BB players. I sure as hell wouldn't, especially after what Sharpe and Wheeler did and how Cal covered for them.
That's because those coaches actually meet with their potential donors and lay out plans. There's no way coaches are paying out of pocket, that’s not NIL, but jeez, if I was in Cal's position, I would damn well know what my donors are willing to pay out. Cal either doesn’t meet with them, or he knows the potential donors aren't happy with him and don't want to hear Cal ask for nil money
