We're a little light on dirty players, so maybe we'll pursue him.

X and Mulcahy in the same backcourt would piss the whole big ten off.

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.

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.

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 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.

Although Reeves isn’t in the portal yet, Goodman tweeted that he is expected to transfer.

If they are literate they'd be on the Dean's list at UK.

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 graduate 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.

I haven't done a ton of research on Reeves because I've been waiting for an official transfer announcement first. Based on the last few posts, decided to look at his UK highlights... holy cow. If we land Reeves or Wilcher next year is going to be scary for the rest of the Big 10. Reeves probably is the better prospect in terms of next year's roster. Hart would be a very solid pick up too, albeit not the same level. 

Love that we're concerned about how landing Wilcher (a former top 10 recruit and current top 40 guy) would impact getting the top prospect and another stud in 2024. Don't think we're going to see any Jeremiah Aprils on the IU roster with Woody and staff here.

Just completely awesome work by them this offseason.
