Class of 2018 G Immanuel Quickley (MD) to Kentucky

Who cares now

Me. It's the first domino to fall that helps SU land Carey.

 

[JayC20]

Let's hope Kansas so it could help with Carey to SU

 

[JLine]

I'll hope for KU, I guess. UK could snake in if need be, but yeah, this one we should be rooting KU for sure. Carey is built for SU, so I have faith against any school. He is the prototypical PG for the Cuse. I'll even say it. He reminds me of Pearl.

 

[Shark58]

I kind of hope this guy and another 5* pg both go to UK next year

Why the hate on Shai Alexander?

Uk...Quade is going to have quite the competition next couple years. Supposedly Alexander has looked a lot better than him so far

Well, he was always #PlanB for them

 

[Cusefan0307]

and we could have had Shai...

Hard not to laugh at that.

Yeah, it's going to be interesting. The one knock on Quade, was that even though he is a fabulous floor leader, he isn't a top level athlete(pretty much what UK is used to running there). A great comparison I guess would be Ulis. He was great, but didn't get his stock high enough and I'm sure was politely asked to go pro(open up a roster spot).

This is impossible. Coach Cal promised Quade two years running the team.

Quade got Isaiah Briscoed.

Any truth to this? I've seen it mentioned one or twice but I don't recall it ever being serious it out is in the driver's seat.

This is laughable. Ulis was the best guard on his team both his freshman and sophomore year. He was legitimately a top 10 player in the country his sophomore year. SEC player of the year and defensive player of the year. SEC Tournament mvp. UK loved him.

All true, but he would've lost his starting spot to Fox had he returned for his Junior year. I'm not sure Cal had to ask him to leave, but there's no way Cal wanted him back. Think of the chemistry issues. He was ready to roll with Fox & Monk.

Rumor was he was very interested in us, but much like Matt Coleman and Isaiah Washington - we pretty much ignored him because of Quade. Would be super ironic if Shai ends up being better than Quade while their both on the same team

 

[HOFCeluck]

BOY HOWS HE GONNA GET HIM UNDER THE SALARY CAP AMIRITE

UK vs the field and I'll go with the field. Bottom line is Cal doesn't even care if he wins.

I'm not saying he wasn't an incredible player. He was all that and more, but there's no way Fox sits behind anyone. If he wasn't directly told, I'm sure he got the hint.

I really don't think so. Ulis as a sophomore was better than Fox as a frosh, and as a junior, he would definitely have been better. It's also not like UK hasn't rolled with 2 top pgs in the past as well. Wall and Bledsoe, Harrison and Ulis.

 

[Melancer46]

I'm sure Calipari knew Ulis would likely go pro, but there's no chance that he benches the SEC Player of the Year if he returns for a junior season.
