I understand what you’re saying, but we’re talking about offense.

I think it was BTO yesterday who said Miles or Abrams (can’t remember, been up all night tired lol) is basically Shack defensively but gives you a little more offense.

If Shack provided a little more on the offensive, I personally think he would’ve had a great chance in the league. There was many many many times when he had the ball and I swear all he had to do was drive to the rim and he’s either scoring or going to the line. I wish we could have seen more.

Shack was pretty good at getting to the rim, he just didn’t do it often.

It just keeps getting repeated, kinda annoying but whatever…I’m sure the number isn’t zero, but I don’t really know of many names.

Again, the part folks aren’t realizing repeatedly is the timeline, if this 5th year thing doesn’t pass until July then you’ve eliminated any player who had their name in the NBA draft, whether drafted or not, you’ve then eliminated anyone who signs a NBA summer league deal, and then you also eliminate anyone who signs an overseas deal or maybe starts their coaching career at a school.

So how many players are willing to pass on all that like what Gainey is doing?

Between all the divisions, there must be around a thousand college basketball players who completed their 4th season last year. Don’t think it’s some slam dunk that there wouldn’t be some quality talent available that stayed in school without someone spending the time to compile a comprehensive list. JMO, TIFWIW

I would say roughly 750 seniors if you do the math, now how many of those are considered impactful all leave types at our level of play? The ones who are good like say a Walter Clayton, he’s going to go through the draft process making him ineligible. I think Gainey is by far one of the best plausible returnees that you’ll see imo. The timing of it all just makes it tough, if you’re good you’re going through the draft/g league/overseas process almost certainly.

Amari Williams (Drexel transfer), Lamont Butler (San Diego State transfer), Andrew Carr (Wake Forest transfer), and Otega Oweh (Incoming Oklahoma transfer) are examples of players at Kentucky who could potentially use a fifth year of eligibility if the rule is approved.

Found that online
that's only 1 sec school. So there's plenty of sec schools that would highly benefit from the 5th year potentially.

Oweh can come back already so take him out of the equation.

I honestly don’t think teams are holding out roster spots, or NIL for returning 5th year seniors… especially considering how the NIL market has ballooned this offseason.

Incoming Oklahoma transfer? He transferred in last year and played for UK. He has another year of eligibility regardless

There’s also the fact that many seniors would be ineligible because they’ve already used a 5th year (like Sears or Lanier).

Kentucky is already at 14 scholarships so no room for anyone.

Not that it matters on the UT board, but just want to point out that we DO in fact have a spot (spots, even) remaining for Oweh if he returns. Right now he is projected as going undrafted or, at best, late 2nd round--- will most likely return to UK after receiving feedback, but ya never know. 🤞

I believe (hard to keep track these days LOL) that we are at 12 players right now:

Freshmen:
Moreno, Jasper, Jelavic (Croatia)

Returners:
Chandler, Noah, Garrison

Portal:
Lowe, Aberdeen, Quaintance, Potter, K. Williams, Dioubate

Possible Returnees: Oweh

Confirmed Transfers Out: Kriisa, Perry, plus 2 walk-ons

Graduated: Butler, Carr, Brea, A. Williams, Robinson, Almonor
