June 24, 201313 yr He's a likable kid but let's be honest, he was soft, And in my opinion he just was not developing physically as quickly as I would assume the coaching staff wanted. Wish him nothing but the best, and he'll always have that ring.
June 24, 201313 yr Author Yeah I think he could have had a big year, even with less minutes. This team has the players around that could hide his weaknesses. Last years team didn't.
June 24, 201313 yr I hate to see Kyle left, I enjoyed Kyle game especially two years ago coming off the bench with the fire power to come in and knock down 3s. However, we all know with the depth of next year's team Kyle knew his minutes would decline. I think transferring is best for Wiltjer but I'd be happy if he does decided to return to UK. If I'm not mistaking I heard Cal mention how much Kyle has improved this summer playing with the Canadian team. Best of luck Kyle wherever you end up.
June 24, 201313 yr Gotta believe that this is all about playing time. Kyle seemed enjoy and embrace his time at Kentucky. I hate to see Kyle Leave. He seemed like a good guy and would have added depth and experience to a young UK team. He's made a decision that he feels is best for him and I'll never blame a guy for that. I hope he does well where ever he lands.
June 24, 201313 yr He wants to go somewhere more to his style of play but is that like a Texas Tech? Will that style get him to the NBA? Cal did get Jorts to the league when Jorts accepted the challenge.
June 24, 201313 yr If he wants to go pro he better get in the weightroom and start working on strength, footspeed and explosiveness...no matter where he goes.
June 24, 201313 yr Nice letter from Kyle to BBN. He knows what he needs to do. Letter to BBN from Kyle Wiltjer - Kentucky Wildcats
June 24, 201313 yr Would Kyle be better served to Red Shirt at UK, if he's willing to miss a season anyway.
June 24, 201313 yr There was a thread about Wiltjer going to Gonzaga on here back in March. Looks like that's a solid possibility now, especially with him hanging with Kevin Pangos on the Canadian development team.
June 25, 201313 yr I'm beside myself. My Facebook page will be boring this college basketball season.
June 25, 201313 yr I guess I'll wait a week or two before I let my last Kyle Wiltjer joke loose. Sad day......
June 25, 201313 yr How many Gonzaga players were on the Canadian team he was on? I have a feeling by him participating in that really made him want to go else where PG Kevin Pangos...
