Yep.

What else is he going to do? He's not going pro, I'd imagine he'll be just fine taking a limited role on a potential Final Four team. 

If Frederick wants to play, transfer to NKU.

Transfer to NKU to play more minutes and maybe make the tournament, or stay at UK, play less minutes, and be on a Final Four contender...

Again, easy choice. 

I would go where I could start/play a lot but I also understand the allure of UK, especially a good UK team.

What do you think Livingston does?  I don't see him being a 1st round NBA pick (2nd round for that matter).  Does he transfer?  

It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.  

I really hope he doesn't transfer. He was making strong strides in his game and I think would fit in very nicely with the incoming class.

I honestly think he can bring a lot to next years.  First of all, he was the only player for UK that could throw an entry pass in to the post.  If you watched him, he did a lot of coaching on the floor and from the bench, and was talking with the coachers a lot.  With UK being so young next year, I believe he would be that senior leader that any good team needs.  He is very basketball smart and if he can come in and give them 10 minutes a game, sign me up.  I have no insight if that would be ok with him though.

I think his Fiancé is on the women's team, another incentive to stay.

He played a bunch at Iowa as I remember. I would think he has his degree finished. Engaged to a young lady on the women's team. Dad is an executive type with WLW. If he plays anywhere it will be UK.....unless both would transfer to the same school( think about that one).

I didn't know that about his fiance.

She was a Senior this year, but could have a Covid year too.

Joe Frederick is not C.J.'s dad. Joe is his uncle. You are correct that C.J.'s dad works WLW. I am clarifying that Joe, who also works for WLW, is not C.J.'s dad as some might guess from the above.

This is my stab at next years Roster so far.

Reed Sheppard-Frosh
Aaron Bradshaw-Frosh
Ugonna kingsley Onyenso- Sophomore
Adou Thiero-Sophomore
Justin Edwards-frosh
Dj Wagner-frosh
Robert Dillingham- frosh
Cj Fredrick-super senior-covid
Antonio Reeves-super senior-covid
Lance ware-senior
 

 

 

With Frederick being engaged and his fiance graduating this year and not expected to play for UK WBB next season, I'd be surprised if he returned.

I think Fredrick would be stupid to come back, because he won’t see the floor. Reeves coming back would be great though! 
 

I personally hope Collins comes back, because I think he could be a Nick Richards type jump next year if he came back. 

Collins would need to gain about 60 lbs to be able to do what Richard's could his last year at UK.

I think he is back, probably tests the NBA waters for feedback on what to focus on over the next year.
