Having the surgery now is a positive sign that he will play. All the drama leading up to it not so much. At least he didn't wait till a week before the start of the season.
Bradshaw Had Surgery This Week
- Thread starter Tampa_cat54
- Start date
What’s happened at this program recently to give anyone a positive attitude?
And you were sure he was coming back? He was taking classes at another school to grad transfer, so that’s always a good sign, lol
I'm not worried about a Sharpe situation, I just know foot injuries have a nasty habit of lingering and taking a long time to heal. I still don't think Vanderbilt was screwing us, since he got surgery after the season and missed most of his rookie year in the NBA. So in that regard, I AM worried about a Vanderbilt situation - a foot injury that just never gets right all year.
I sure hope this is not the case ...
Brown: Shaedon Sharpe 2.0? NIL agents' handling of Aaron Bradshaw should strike fear in UK
Something's off with UK basketball star Aaron Bradshaw's injury, writes C.L. Brown. And the NCAA could've avoided NIL agents' influence over athletes.

Nothing is ever ccc's fault
Haven't you listened to the ccc lovers 💏
Look at my posts, never one thing about him leaving from me.
Maybe try not to knee jerk react to everything.
I'm at work, so I can't find it for you. But at the end of the season he alluded to going pro or transferring. It is a fact he was taken classes at Illinois state this summer. I never stated he said he didn't want to be here outright. It's just simple deductive reasoning.
It’s the end of college basketball when handlers, agents or agencies call the shots for a blue blood basketball school.
I didn't think Sharpe came to us until December. I may be wrong. Vanderbilt tried to play on several occasions. It was obvious to me that he had a real problem. When healthy , he was great but, sadly he was never 100%. He had surgery during his first season in the NBA.
Sharpe never playing is an issue. It was embarrassing. To include Vanderbilt in that discussion is not right, in my opinion.
My wife had surgery on her foot May 18th and was given a timeline of walking with shoe by 6 weeks and it looks like she is going to beat that and she is 75 years old. So I think Bradshaw will be fine by the start of the season. And we know that he will get a lot better treatment than my wife has.
People bring up the sharpe situation all the time. Sharpes plan from the beginning was to play the following year. Bradshaw wasn’t waiting till next year, he was for this year. I’d almost bet Bradshaw plays this year.
Gotta disagree with you. Unfortunately, college freshmen bball players make few decisions. Playing at UK the following year may have been Sharpe's decision. But, his handlers played Cal like a fiddle. I think their plan all along was to 1) Determine NBA eligibility 2) If elgible, then sit out and go straight to draft w/o playing 1 day of college ball.
I DO think the Bradshaw, Sharpe, Vanderbilt, Wheeler scenarios are all different, but understand fans lumping them together. It would take someone sticking their head very deep in the sand to not be concerned about Bradshaw's playing time at UK.
Here's how I see past events, and prediction for this year.
Vanderbilt - Real injury that carried over into first year of NBA. It cost him several million in his first contract.
Sharpe - Handlers lied to everyone and used UK as a safety net in case NBA would not allow him in that year's draft. Cal can never tell the truth publicly. It makes him look bad, but I understand not burning bridges with families/handlers. You win the battle, but lose the war.
Wheeler - Crazy situation. He quit on the team after a minor ankle injury. Cal covered for him to prevent him from being scrutinized even more than he was.
Bradshaw - Sounds like the injury is real. Like Vanderbilt, I think not playing a substantial amount of college games will cost him lots of $. He wants to show scouts he's more than a post player. That requires him playing games. This is reason I think his people will want him to have chance to showcase his game.
Just my thoughts. Schools not sharing medical information frustrates fans, but I understand why they don't do it. We lump everyone who doesn't play into the same pile, but Vanderbilt and Bradshaw's situations are different than the others.
It's just what Jack Pilgrim from KSR reported- I have zero first-hand knowledge
Yup. An
Yup just another wasted season under the Deity Cal.
