Paul Mulcahy (Rutgers) enters the portal as a grad transfer.  The 6-7 pass-first guard averaged 8.3 points and 4.9 assists last season and shot 37 percent from 3.

Good riddance. I hope he leaves the conference.

Mulcahy at UK with his barely okay jump shot and cheap shot personality, paired with a team of me-first freshmen would be must see tv.

UK could use a senior citizen player; hoping this happens because it will be highly entertaining.

Isn’t Kentucky reaching out to EVERY portal player? They’d be reaching out to Lexington South Middle School if 8th grade kids had the ability to enroll at UK.

Arkansas got all the crap for offering every portal kid, but K-State has been just as bad.

And so has Michigan and UK. 

And Nebraska.

Arkansas and Nebraska have been doing this every year. UM and UK mostly just this year.

Trilly mentioned Oklahoma as a possibility as the assistant coach who recruited Brown to Louisiana is now at Oklahoma -- but he followed that tweet up by saying the minutes might not be there as Oklahoma had landed John Hugley.

It sounds like it might be a while before we find out if Reeves plans to transfer or not. He's taking summer classes needed to graduate but some think that he will transfer. The classes he's taking are through ISU so it seems like he's intent on graduating soon since he wouldn't have enough UK credits to graduate there.

Generally speaking a university requires some number or percentage of credit hours to be completed at said institution to graduate AND/OR the final X hours to be there. Would be hard to do both in just a single year if you weren’t strategic.

It may be possible to get a waiver for one or both of those rules depending on institutional/departmental policy and/or state law. Could imagine a vindictive program trying not to allow that but it’s a decision for academic staff/faculty, not the athletic dept./program.

All of which might explain taking summer classes at your old school (as would simple scheduling/housing needs, online options, or finding it easier to transfer credit out of UK than in, etc.).

Illinois State doesn’t list a summer graduation date, which probably just means they don’t have a ceremony; I’m sure any institution of that size does award degrees in summer. But I assume that means Reeves wouldn’t graduate and thus be eligible to start somewhere new as a grad transfer, until mid-August.

Yep.  I know a lot of schools have two different summer sessions where you can get a course done in a five week or so period taking the course for quite a few hours each week, but according to Illinois State's website they have a single summer session which ends on August 9th and grades aren't posted until the next week.

If he's taking classes at Illinois State, he has to be paying for them since his scholarship is at UK......I can't envision a scenario where he would be taking courses at Illinois State without the intent of being a grade transfer.  And although he can't enter the portal until then, there is no doubt that by then both he and the school he would be transferring to would already know it.

Indiana has someone very connected with Reeves and has a big advantage communicating through back channels. Reeves will absolutely be transferring but it may be a bit before he announces a decision as to where. My understanding is that he is making sure academics are taken care of to make sure he can graduated and then transfer as a grad transfer. We have a current player along with someone connected with Reeves that has been in communication and been FaceTiming with him and can say we will very much have a real chance here. It sounds like Woody and Juwan may be squaring up in the ring on this one.

Dang—he’s exactly what we are lacking. A perfect fit. 

Woody the closer? Bring it on.

Hart will be the local kid that rarely if ever sees the court.

Wilcher will be the fairly high rated recruit who may be buried and get frustrated.

Reeves would likely start and will be one of the country’s best catch and shoot guards.

I agree on Hart and Reeves 100%

RE: Wilcher, I agree 90%

I think he is so talented, he would not get "buried" put IMO likely carve out a 20 min/game role that plays to his strengths (driving/scoring, playmaking). He wants to show he can be a PG and shoot the 3 reliably, but hasn't shown that ability consistently (why he dropped from top 10 to top 40). Don't think he'd be a one and done here at all, maybe on a 2 year plan (or he's a transfer risk). Not sure how realistic he is being with himself about time he will need in school and not sure how much of a factor that will ultimately be in his re-recruitment. 

I don't love the fit/make-up class wise of Galloway/Wilcher/Gunn/Newton + Cupps at the 1. It just seems like that wouldn't work out for everyone. 

That said, give me all the talent we can get. I will be happy (to varying degrees) with any of these three to round out the roster.
