The clock is ticking on the final decisions for three former/maybe current Kentucky Wildcats as Oscar TshiebweChris Livingston, and Antonio Reeves each weigh their options in the final hours. With only a day and a half until the 11:59 p.m. deadline to return to school, speculation is rampant around all three as John Calipari desperately tries to fill his Kentucky Basketball roster at the buzzer. Kentucky needs at least two of the three or some help from somewhere else. All three would be ideal–but unlikely.

Currently, with thirty-four hours on the clock, it’s anyone’s guess as to what any of them will do. But if you’re wondering where each player is in their journey, we at least know their literal locations on the day before the day a decision must be made.

In Atlanta, Tshiebwe is one of six NBA hopefuls getting the last workout. He joins Leaky Black (North Carolina), Jazian Gortman (Overtime Elite), Trey Jemison (UAB), Emanuel Miller (TCU), and Sir’ Jabari Rice (Texas) in hoping to make a final impression ahead of the deadline. Atlanta picks at No. 15 and No. 46 in the draft.

In Charlotte, Livingston is competing for attention with Tyree Appleby (Wake Forest), Charles Bediako (Alabama), Mike Bothwell (Furman), Nathan Mensah (San Diego State), and Courtney Ramey (Arizona). The Hornets have two second-round picks at 34th and 41st, plus the second overall pick.

In Dallas, Reeves is likely playing for a two-way deal because Dallas picks once, at No. 10 overall.

In Lexington and throughout Big Blue Nation, we wait.
