This is going to get UGLY
I know I'm jumping the gun a bit but with reports that Oscar will not be back.... Cal better hope to God he gets Livingston and Reeves to return. Even those two shouldn't save his job... this is roster malpractice. Cal and Mitch should be fired tonight - #1 recruiting class be damned. Edit -...

Its a tough play to get the best Freshman, the best Transfers and the Best players coming back.

I'll support this years team just like I did the BJ Boston disaster of a team but this has to be the last of Coach Cal.

Is there a live stream to our doomed fate with Big O’s decision? Or he just gonna put up the dueces on Twitter?

Cal had better make some moves quick. The majority of kids that play for him want out after a year. Not a good look at all.#1 recruiting class be damned is all I need to know. We have 7 and will have 10 before all is said and done regardless.

Bad part is this team is one or two underperforming freshman away from being terrible. Without all 3 veterans back the outlook is not good.I'll support this years team just like I did the BJ Boston disaster of a team but this has to be the last of Coach Cal.

Reeves coming back to play behind the freshman never made sense to me especially since he saw last year that he wasn’t going to have the role he expected prior to injuries forcing Cals hand. He likely wanted a minutes or starting guarantee after having multiple 30pt games and averaging near 20 last season.
Livingston I had on good authority from someone associated with a team he interviewed with that he was saying he wasn’t returning to Kentucky as early as a month ago……yet Cal is “surprised” and unprepared.
My personal opinion is Cal has known all 3 were gone w Oscar being the only one he would have liked back (even tho they butted heads this year it allows justification for Bradshaw at the 4). I personally believe Cal doesn’t want there to be a choice but playing the incoming Freshman (minus Shep) the maximum minutes possible and trying to make one last run “his way” with a rival to the Fab 5…as a potential Swan song or at minimum a middle finger to everyone that said he needed to change.

This is beyond ugly. It’s FUGLY.
I view this as Cal is done here and he’s burning the program down on the way out the door.

Let's quit pretending. UK basketball has been Fugly for at least the past 5 seasons. And now we'll regularly be serenaded by Calipari next season with his "but we're just so yoooounnng" excuses. I've never liked the Calipari hire from the word go, and next season is going to be brutal. I'm almost willing to wager that Calipari is attempting to force a buyout of his contract...This is beyond ugly. It’s FUGLY.

UGLY? Oh Hell NO! Remember, Trust in Cal! I'm trusting JLoad and HeroH!
Yes, I know they are toilet accounts here, but there are some real UK fans that think Cal is the man.
Anyway, suck it up CAT fans, we have a BB coach that doesn't give a damn about the program.

5I would expect that 2 or 3 of them will be fine, but 2 or 3 of them will get schooled playing against experienced players. This upcoming season may make last season seem like a pleasure cruise.Bad part is this team is one or two underperforming freshman away from being terrible. Without all 3 veterans back the outlook is not good.

Gold MemberIf Reeves bails too i’m going to find a website to put a sizeable bet down that we’ll miss the tournament. Probably get good odds on it.
But no Reeves or Livingston = only 4% of the total minutes played returning. That would be only the 3rd time in the Cal era we’ve gotten less than 10% back. The other 2? 2013 (6%) and 2021(8%).

This will be such an ugly divorce.
Cal will be petty and try to burn it to the ground.
His mismanagement of this program is embarrassing beyond belief.
He will be terminated next March.
