technically no… he was valued at 7figures in “estimated” NIL deals, not that he was cut a contract for 7 figures…
I was just typing have Hakeem give Oscar a call before you typed this but then I figured everyone would laugh at me. Some rumblings of how much UK really wants Oscar back, but I think he’s got a huge NIL deal to match.
From 247 Artcile on Oscar and UK after loss to K-State:
“I’m probably going to say sorry to Big Blue Nation because when I came here, my dream was to do something great. But two years in a row, it did not happen,” a dejected Tshiebwe said after the Wildcats’ 75-69 loss to Kansas State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last month. “Not everybody is able to make their dream true. For me to be here for two years, I just give all the glory to God. I am very appreciative for Kentucky and everybody for the opportunity.”
Doesn’t sound like someone who is coming back but as you say not projecting to be drafted and UK reached out to Dickinson. Maybe he’ll try for the NBA even if he isn’t drafted.
Here me out guys… (
)
What if (yuge what if) CKS is seeing off the charts development from Ced Lath and intends on giving him serious minutes next season and that’s why we haven’t been reaching out to any bigs in the portal?
ts% mark takes a ton of mid ranges… ts% all 2s are the same…
defense dont close out on him any more than mark…ive watched atleast 60 games of his (i watch a ton of aac games)… you guys are making him into something he isnt
Their pro comp is James Harden.
If he is better than Mark is up for debate. If he fits into our offense better than Mark really isn’t.
I want to see Shead Cryer and Dunn so bad… please please please!
So if we get Cryer too then Sampson can file the “Wildcard Waiver” and get the 7-footer?
The new face of College Basketball.
I wouldn’t mind if one of Wilson or Ramon went into the portal if it means we got someone like Dickinson or Tchewea

what he probably means is we only have 1 scholarship open so if it fills and you still want others, you need to start the portal dance so players dont think we are full. At least you have to understand how to line up the dominoes, even if you arent knocking them down immediately, If we get Cryer and Tshiebwe, as pesik so astutely points out is a lock for us, we have to know who is opening up the spot
There are now 4 guys I’m hearing linked to us. With 1 spot.
1 of them is probably determined by what Shead does.
So. That still leaves 3. With 1 spot left. As I said. A lot of moving pieces.
so for the new people
- Cryer
- Tshiebwe
- Sanogo
- Bronny James
Haha. 1 of 4 ain’t bad, ehog.
Cryer or someone else?
better than my actual shooting percentages in intramurals
