This is it for me. Hopefully he sees himself in light of CH sticking through it, growing and having upper classmen success. Great to have a few of those guys, grab a few proven sophomore underclassmen to bring in and develop and a strong haul of old men in the portal every year. Love that formula!
My take is that he's trying to make himself look good and like he's supporting the kid ...
Which I am as well ... He's a young man who is free to make his own choices ... He chose to leave ... Wish him the best ...
But when you and your family tells the program that you're scared he isn't going to get PT and then demand certain amount of MPG or you want out of your NLI ?? That's SOFT ... No way around it ...
Prime Example: You think when we brought in Mark Smith that Trent wasn't worried about his role ? He went out there and took it from Mark and look what happened ? Trent became a LEGEND ... At least to me ...
Trent Frazier aint soft ... Brad aint soft ... And frankly if you want to be soft ... This ain't the place for you ...
Minutes are earned on the court ... Not handed out over the phone ...
We were his ONLY P5 offer ... He got that 4th star and all of a sudden he thinks he can toss around demands ... When the only reason he got that 4th star was because he was committed here ..... If he committed to UCSB you thinking he getting that 4th star ??
I, like you, see a lot of promise on SH. He is only a sophomore and we could have him as a 3 year player getting 18 - 22 - 25 minutes a game very easily?
Gimme a Domask and Coleman return. Add Storr, a pg, and a center and lets get a championship.
Transfer pg, Storr, Domask, Coleman, Transfer 5.
Bench mob: Ty, Goode, DGL, Harris, Morez, Amani, Davis
Maybe not enough minutes to go around because they would be 12 deep with guys that I think could make an impact.
If 
could consistently finish at the rim, he’d be a kid you play 25+ minutes with the way he impacts things on defense.

Lol...the TJ comp is peak Loyalty hilarity, but if you aren't getting Trent Frazier EDG vibes with this young man you need to recalibrate your Vibe-O-Meter.
Lefty sticking with the program and committing to working on the weak side of his game? Yes please.
Absolutely love this.

UK's Bradshaw enters portal, as Knox decommits
The roster fallout from coach John Calipari's decision to leave Kentucky for Arkansas began Monday, as Wildcats freshman Aaron Bradshaw entered the transfer portal and top-25 recruit Karter Knox decommitted from the program and reopened his recruitment.
Some movement
Buck's willingness to accept the challenge of fighting for his share says a lot about him and the state of this program.
Show me some film on TJ crossing up people off the dribble and using either hand around the basket, let alone using a floater in the lane??? TJ wasn’t that guy until he got here! Stop trying to put down Sincere’s game when most of the people criticizing him probably never played the game or weren’t very good if they did!

Tons of discourse on how good he can be on the offensive end. Biggest takeaway to me at least is that having a guy we know can be a menace on the defensive end make the choice to stay and fight for a role on this team (especially in this climate of CBB) is a guy I want wearing the orange and blue.

That's a tremendous amount of talent to manage and if it comes to fruition, that's why Brad makes the big bucks. Let's go!
How tall is Buck now? Although not a great angle, he looks just as tall as Goode at 2:16 in that video montage.
That's exactly what I was going to post, glad I took the time to read!
Something something growth plates and neck height.
If you watch the highlights he put on X, then you'd see he definitely got better... He was cooking everyone on the team(including TSJ)
Let’s pump the brakes on a practice highlight film….someone’s comparing him to TJ
Hundreds of practices….i can find 5 minutes of video where it looks like some of our guys have never played basketball before lol
Exhibit A:
I'm with 0440 on this one. I saw his post #255 after I posted mine. As of last night, we still don't know for sure where the coaching dominoes fall. Everything is broad brush at this point.
I will say that the clips look encouraging! I'm hopeful.

This 100%. He’s our best on ball defender and it’s not even close. Love Ty but he can’t stay in front of a guard like Harris can.
Given that his defense and energy alone won games as a freshman two years ago, and even knowing that was a highlight clip, consistent offensive production from Buck would be huge for next season. Personally, i think his +/- is gonna be pretty pretty pretty good.
