Irrelevant; Kentucky, Calipari Neither or Both?

Exit straight let the cat outta the bag. What scoops are on discord stays on the discord. Rafters would go apeshhhh
No they would be laughing their asses off. Reeves can't transfer anywhere yet. And there's rumblings that UK can prevent him from transferring anywhere. We'll find out fairly soon.

Are these similar to the rumblings of Dickinson to UK, Oscar returning, and Reeves announcing his return a few days ago?
 
Hearing a lot more than smoke
Mainly due to the unknown with Arterio and his legal situation. They want to add another shooter with Timberlake. If KJ is willing to play a swizz army knife it could look like

HD 32 MPG, KJ 8 MPG
McCullar 32, MPG KJ 8 MPG
Reaves 28 MPG, KJ 6 MPG, Elmarko 6 MPG
Timberlake 25 MPG, Arterio 10 MPG, Elmarko 5 MPG
Harris 30 MPG, Arterior 10 MPG

This might be the worst defensive starting lineup for KU all time haha.

Self is too good of a coach to start Timberlake, Reaves and Dickinson. Even KState might score 100 points on that lineup.

You're really determined to shoot holes in KU's roster. 🤣

You forgot to mention that the other two starters in that scenario are excellent defenders who might combine for 5 steals/game.

Self won a title with Remy Martin, McCormack and Jalen Wilson playing huge roles. All were defensive liabilities at the start of the year. By the end of the season, team defense was great. I have no doubt that he could get respectable defense from Reeves too. It’s not like he’s a bad athlete.

Regardless, they’re going to be able to put some very good defensive lineups on the court. To act like Reeves would make the team worse is asinine. Dude shot 40% from three and has a really quick release. Averaged about 22ppg the last mo and dropped 37 on Arkansas. No doubt he’d increase their chances of winning it all.
 
Shouldn’t it be Famiglia?

Anyone who refuses to contribute will find themselves sleeping with the fishes.
 
Jokes aside, did you ever call one of his games...la familia with him?
I'll see myself out.
Yes. I called about 5-6 of his games. Once in the sectional last year. He's a solid player. Good athlete...very good shooter...Shoots well in traffic, and off the bounce. Can jump. Needs work on his handles...defense is ok. Rebounds decent. Very high motor, and good basketball IQ. But he's not an impact guy. Not sure he's ready for this level of CBB. Very, very surprised he ended up at UK....Dude will struggle for minutes---And especially if Reeves returns.

He can be our next great transfer to Washington.
Kidding of course. I hope he finds UK close enough to home and sticks around and becomes the next Adou Thiero.

I'd bet $$ he trsnsfers. Who's minutes he gonna get? Perfect storm for him to end up at UK---lots of turnover---short/thin roster---in need of a shooter. That is, until Reeves comes back(possible). Kid will hardly see the floor at UK.

Gotta bring up Trey Lyles.
 
Crazy how young we're going to be. 7 freshmen and two sophomores.
Imagine if Cal gets 38 wins for the 4th time and falls short.
As far as Reeves goes. UK train is going to keep moving.

Not even close to the same.....But, sure. Plus I had said many of time---I got Trey and jaquan mixed up. Trey had the ability/skills to play at UK----Hart does not. I felt Jaquan would transfer because of his head....not because of his skills.

Hart will seek PT_---he wont get that at UK. Unless of course you think Cal quits recruitng 5* SG/PG?

IU outside of XJ)SR), Walker(Miami transfe, SR)r) and Trey(Jr), will be very youthful...

Mgbako- Fr
Ware-So
Gunn-So
Banks- So
Reneau-So
Sparks-So
Newton- Fr
Cupps--Fr.

IU probably starts:

XJ-SR
TG-JR
Mgbako-FR
Reneau-SO
Ware-SO.

Trey deserves a starting role and Woody is obviously loyal, but I love seeing him come off the bench and turn the game on it's ear.

Not sure what to do with UK in my rankings. Reeves reluctantly back. Will bradshaw ever play? What happens with Cyril or tre mitchell. Interesting

Nah, just got hit by a bus. Everything is still real fuzzy. Not even sure if I’m still alive. I thought we were pointing out random facts, sorry for the confusion.


*It was the #17 bus BTW. Be careful.
Nothing random....Said NCAAT started in the 30's---I simply pointed out it started in 1939. What is so random about that?
