March 25, 201313 yr Kyle needs to red shirt and hit the gym to get stronger and get some agility work to get quicker.
March 25, 201313 yr I was watching a game of UK's from last season and Wiltjer came off the bench and played some good minutes. About what you would expect from a Freshman. I know he is never going to be super quick, but from my vantage he did not work much on his strength, speed, or quickness during the off season. I could be totally off base with that remark. It could be because he was on the court with 4 other first rounders :lol2:

He had to create his shots this year and it just didn't happen. Needs a lot of work to play on this team next year.
March 26, 201313 yr The only advantage for Wiltjer returning to UK would be a shot at another ring. He'll play limited minutes, probably less than he did last season.
March 26, 201313 yr A student tweeted yesterday that he overheard Wilt say that he's returning to UK next season. That kid has class with him and their teacher had asked Wilt what he was gonna do.
March 26, 201313 yr It just depends if he wants to play more or just be a role player and play about what Hood played this year if that. If he wants to do that then Cal will keep him. But I don't see him playing more that 5 to 7 minutes a game unless its a blowout.
March 27, 201313 yr I think Wiltjer is still physically maturing. He is a pretty good offensive player right now. I think he got caught up in the general malaise affeciting the team last year and didn't try as hard as he should have. If he really works hard during the off season, coupled wih developing maturity, he can contribute significantly next year as a seasoned junior. It should be easier next year to put him in situations where he can be successful, including hiding his defensive deficiencies.
March 27, 201313 yr I still think the surrounding talent next year will result in a similar role to '11-'12 (spot up shooter that can assist, with no pressure; and less defensive responsibility), which was pretty good as I recall? He's staying!!
March 27, 201313 yr The only knock I have on Wilt is like many say he doesn't like to take bumps. And couldn't guard my Moma either.
March 28, 201313 yr And couldn't guard my Moma either. Your momma would beat him in a game of horse.LOL!!
April 1, 201313 yr Kyle Wiltjer @kwiltj This summer, I'm going to work hard to come back next season better and stronger to help my team fight for #9! Details Kyle Wiltjer @kwiltj After talking with coach and the staff I understand what I need to do. I want to be a part of another chip.. Details
April 1, 201313 yr Just read those myself. Thought it would be awfully weird to see a kid that contributed as a freshmen on a national championship team leave after his sophomore year.
