Fake news, Quade Green said.

OK, that's not exactly what he said, though the message was the same. The subject was those off-season rumors that the Kentucky guard had considered transferring before ultimately deciding to return for his sophomore season.

True?

"No, not at all," Green said Thursday during a media opportunity with Coach John Calipari's four returning players. "That was just rumors."

Never crossed your mind?

"Never crossed my mind," Green said.

What about the report that you were going back home to Philadelphia to play at LaSalle?

"I actually laughed at that one," Green said. "That was hilarious."

So let's take the other side of the coin. Why not transfer? Expected to be Kentucky's starting point guard last year, Green was moved off the ball by the emergence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. A likely NBA Draft lottery pick, SGA is gone. Replacements are coming, however. Guards. Talented guards.

"That don't matter to me," Green said. "That's why you come to Kentucky, to be competitive and compete."
