Hopefully this bodes well for Kentucky in the recruiting of Kerry Blackshear to the Cats.
Florida here we come.
That’s what we have been hearing for awhile now but at this point I will believe it when he enrolls...
I agree with this list.I would guess the most likely destinations in order would be...
1. Florida
2. Kentucky
3. Virginia Tech
4. Texas A&M
I agree with this list.
But if I have 1 year to prove I'm an NBA player, I'm not going to a school that is in rebuild mode, I'm going where I have the best chance to look and play like a pro.
The Blackshear family has played their cards close to the vest on this one, but in reality, nobody knows anything.
Up until yesterday, he was concentrating on impressing NBA personnel. I can't imagine the Blackshear's even know where Kerry is leaning yet.
You could be right.I can’t imagine a 20 and 10 player in a big P5 conference is going to get anymore exposure than what he already has. There just has to be something scouts don’t like. Usually a guy averaging those numbers is gone. Especially in a weak draft. It makes me think he won’t make it regardless of where he goes
You could be right.
It blows my mind how UK loses kids after their freshman year that had a mediocre season, but a guy like Blackshear can't get drafted.
I do think playing in a pro system with a coach that has proven he is connected to what the NBA is looking for, would be the best position for KB to be in.
Going to aTm or VT will put the nail in his NBA coffin for sure.
NBA drafts on potential not production. Reid Travis had a very good year at UK and still probably won’t get drafted.
Trust me, I'm a UK fan, I know all about what the NBA is interested in. We see kids underperform every year, then end up getting an NBA contract, simply because they have "potential".NBA drafts on potential not production. Reid Travis had a very good year at UK and still probably won’t get drafted.

But Kerry Blackshear has potential. In my opinion he has proven he has potential.
Here's something else though. Put Tyler Herro, Keldon Johnson, Jared Vanderbilt and Hamidu Diallo on Virginia Tech, you think any of those players ends up going pro after 1 year? I don't.
Seems like just playing at UK gives these kids an advantage. I'm not saying Calipari is a better coach than Buzz (he is though) I'm saying that's what UK has become. Playing for UK and/or Duke highlights these kids better than anyone else.

Its also bc these Grad Transfer types are all much older than all the Frosh with "potential"You could be right.

My job. It's where I get most my UM news. Granted they're biased, but well connected biased. if that means anything....where you hearing that?

Edit: and just like that, these guys are celebrating. ***s.
....didn't think Memphis was even involved...or had enough schollies.
Apparently this news made it's way to KSR.

I'll be surprised if he makes all his visits.
Slater made it seem like he was going to pop for Arkansas the other day

I read today where Blackshear wants to play for a team that has a good chance at a final four. We'll see if he visits UK next week. I understand that UF is leading. They'll be top 20. Unless Memphis is making a big push, and I haven't heard a peep about that, it'll be UF or UK.
Lot of smoke he might commit during the UK trip starting today. Anyone else hearing anything? Would be fantastic news for UK to get someone like him at the 11th hour.
What is incredible is I don't give a crap.
I am shutting down.Why don't you shut down and go to bed if you don't give a crap.
The very last thing any non-UK fan wants to see is Kerry Blackshear added to the roster.Could be a big day for UK.
Hagans
Maxey
Whitney
Montgomery
Blackshear
Quickley
Brooks
Richards
Sestina
Juzang
Allen
Hell of a team
Yea I agree for sure. Also, only the second time since Cal's been here he's returned his starting point guard. The last time? A final four.The very last thing any non-UK fan wants to see is Kerry Blackshear added to the roster.
The 5 spot was the one chink in the armor for UK next season. KB immediately turns that into an elite position for UK when you figure EJ, Sestina and Richards will add really good depth there.
So many UK "insiders' celebrating. Think of this time when using it against them in the future.
Still think he's going to Memphis.
