The Annual Who Goes & Who Stays Thread (UPDATE: Everyone to Enter the Draft)

[GOCAT15]

I think the only reason Cal has any interest in him is because of his brother.

Amuari is not a very good player. He's a terrible defender and is not big.

FG: 40.9%
3PT: 33.3%
FT: 69.7%

You are correct, that is just a play to get his brother to commit.

Sam Vecenie of The Athletic (pretty connected and usually knows his stuff) released his top 100 for the NBA Draft.

Maxey #12
IQ #37
Hagans #54
Richards #57
EJ not included in top 100

I don't have a degree from Harvard, but if you aren't even sniffing the second round, why on earth would you not stay and get your degree, even a masters for free? EJ will at best sniff a little game-time oversees, will by no means get rich doing it, just mind boggling to me.

Not that there was any question, but Keion Brooks' father says he will return to UK next season.

Well, there's one.

[Joneslab]

If the Florida game was a sign of what's to come for Brooks we have a potential all-SEC type of player.

He's one of those guys though that this virus really hurts. Because of his size he's going to have to be able to hit outside shots. Because these guys can't really get in gyms, it's hard to see them making major jumps w/r/t shooting next season.

^ It's going to help show who's really "in it to win it". He can find a goal if he wishes, Will.

Thanks Keion! Glad to have you.

K. Whitney told EJ if he left "they will hate" you then immediately deleted his social media post..

@KyleTucker_ATH
Maxey in the lottery, Hagans/Richards/Quickley all in that dangerous mid-to-late 50s range. Flirting with undrafted.

Updated 60-pick mock draft up on ESPN today, including a look at the best fit for every team in the first round https://es.pn/39Tjs9B

Quickley is sort of all over the place, but that's been the case with a few guys the last few years, from Keldon Johnson to Wenyen Gabriel to Jarred Vanderbilt and on down. P.J. Washington was sort of in that boat and he returned, but by and large the players who are up in the air like that usually leave UK.

[Joneslab]

Kyle Tucker tweeted that Kentucky will get two nice additions to the roster, one guard and one big.

Says Hardy isn't one of those players, but seems not to dismiss Haarms as a possibility (at least he doesn't shoot it down when somebody mentions it).

Not sure who the guard might be.

[Lighthouse]

There's no telling what's going on behind the scenes with everything so up in the air and out of sync. Maxey, Richards and Hagans look like the only ones who are gone. IQ and EJ could both be back, but at this time everything is just conversation.

[Joneslab]

Multiple people saying that Kentucky is going to add a graduate transfer very soon. No name yet that I've seen.
