    2024 Roster (Enter Antonio Reeves & Tre Mitchell)

    Might as well start the obligatory thread for the 2024 roster as the dominos start to fall.

    Ugonna has confirmed that he will return.

    Would love to see Oscar and Toppin return with Reeves, could be 2015 all over again and as Kentucky fans, we deserve that plus NIL can take care of these kids and put money in the bank.

    Toppin had a bad game against Kansas State but he also proved to me he can play the 3 spot. He can shoot, he can handle the ball, just needs to extend his range which he can, Toppin would be a killer sf in college in my opinion...

    Reeves?? We forgive you, it happens, come on back and wipe the slate clean...

      I’d happily take Reeves back because as we all know injuries, even if it’s a bruised ego, can sometimes keep a guy out for weeks. We need insurance and he could provide some.

      Also need to get Livingston back.

          Former Kentucky Mr. Basketball Davion McKnight just hit the transfer portal. I grew up with both his daddy Dwan (same neighborhood/ we battled hooping for years) and his momma Danyelle, his uncle Ghost /good friend of mine) is the most die hard UK fan you will ever meet, house and every room in it is blue. If we didn't have a strong class coming in (Wagner at Point), would love to see this kid playing at Kentucky but i have a feeling he will end up in Louisville, just my gut feeling and opinion.

          Davion is a great kid, hard worker. It took his father a long time to get his life straightened out but Davion is nothing like that, humble and never forgets where he came from..

          We shall see, not even sure if Calipari would have interest but you never know. His father does work in Lexington as a Fed Ex Driver and knows a lot of people, curious to see where Davion ends up playing next year.....

            Livingston was slowly getting into beat mode, i like what i saw out of him the last game being physical hitting the boards going to the rack with authority, would love to have him back...

                Livingston was hard to get a read on. I don’t think I ever saw him smile. Would hate to play poker with him as his expression never changed. Hope he returns.

                    Dillingham & Sheppard not in rotation?

                      Sheppard, yes. Forgot.

                      There's a lot of smoke about Dillingham not coming. I don't believe UK message board smoke roughly 75% of the time, but remember: that was "gun to my head." That's like if a mafia guy was out in some field ready to shoot me and I had to produce UK's 2023-2024 roster and if I did he'd set me free.

                          Reeves and Livingston coming back would be huge for next year's team, imo. I'd even take CJ back for another go, low risk high reward kind of deal. Can't have too many guards. As many have said, here and elsewhere, the best teams are a mix of the best freshmen in the country and some talented experience. 2012 wouldn't have won without Jones, Lamb, Miller, etc. I don't think we have anyone of that caliber to reload with, but maybe they won't need to be as good as them (I hope the pronouns in that sentence are clear...)

                            I think this goes for all of them. I noticed consternation, ire, and sometimes just outright confusion with a lot of guys this past season. Livingston definitely wasn't alone.

                            I don't think there's any chance he makes an NBA roster, and if he gets drafted it would be on a whim at the very back end of the draft, but the fear you have with him is that his people hated how he was used this season and he transfers out.

                              I'm going to sit back and wait to see who will leave, who will come back and which of the freshmen will make it to campus. But you guys keep predicting because I enjoy reading your posts. The only player I believe will be here next year for sure, is Reed Shepherd.
