Duf, it will be interesting to see what happens here. I fully expect both Montgomery and Richards to return. Montgomery has a huge upside and has the potential to be a star in the SEC. Although his minutes were reduced drastically this year due to the arrival of Travis, Richards had some moments where he shined, and moments when he looked downright lost. Nick didn’t start playing basketball until he was 14 or 15 years old. With that being the case, he is a raw talent who is still learning and developing his game. Of the two, Nick would be the one who I could see potentially transferring, but I don’t think he will. Even with the addition of Sestina, there will be plenty of minutes available at the 4 & 5 spot. We are still in the running for Matthew Hurt and Jaden McDaniels. If we were to sign one of them to the class, then the whole dynamic could change resulting in Richards entering the transfer portal. We will we soon find out.
Any work on what Herro will do? I would assume he will declare and go through the process to get a firm projection on where he will end up.

DM8, since Herro is projected in the 1st round according to most mock drafts, I would say he will put his name in the draft and leave open the option to return to UK based on the feedback. Keldon Johnson is doing the exact same thing. According to those in the know, Herro has loved his time at UK and is open to returning. Again, time will tell.

It appears he is a mid 1st round guy so yall could get him back. I have seen Johnson as high as 6th so I assume he is more likely to not pull his name out.
 
You are right. I was surprised that Johnson is leaving open the option to return. I think the #6 projection is a bit high compared to some of the other boards which have him as a borderline lottery pick or lower. As a selfish fan, I think he could use another year in college to further develop his game, especially his defense. Coming into UK, many thought he would be a lockdown defender. At times, he really struggled at that end of the court. There is no question that his game will translate well in the NBA. The question is: do you go ahead and take the money now or fortify your overall game with another year in college and improve your overall draft stock?

Good stuff. Yeah, I like EJ’s upside more than Richards, but I think both are good players. Need some more offensive refinement from Richards though.

Good basketball is like crack. Like I can’t stop

All I've been doing is cycling through the various message boards in search of interesting basketball discussions. Refresh, move to the next. Refresh, move to the next. Over and over. Gonna be a long 2 months until we have a better idea of the roster next year.

Yeah I had the thought yesterday that I'm looking for things that aren't going to be there for quite some time.

Exactly. And I hate that feeling because now I'm searching for any tiny morsel of information, which I know probably isn't there. It sucks and makes for really unproductive times.

I am still extremely disappointed in the media for not having a bad ass posteresque picture of MALIK standing over him.

I thought this one was decent.
