Tuesday Headlines: Draft Deadline Stress Edition

It’s been a wild and rocky offseason for Kentucky Basketball. While that won’t completely end with tomorrow’s NBA Draft withdrawal deadline, it will provide us with a more clear picture of what the 2023-24 Wildcats will look like.

It looks like we could be waiting well into Wednesday for final decisions from Oscar Tshiebwe and Antonio Reeves. The same could be true of Chris Livingston, though he’s felt like an NBA lock for a while now.

How will the big decisions go down? Will other transfer options emerge? One thing is for sure: This is going to be a stressful time in Lexington.
