Bradshaw Officially OUT Tonight vs Marshall

How is it another Sharpe situation?
Sharpe wasn’t injured.

Bradshaw didn’t get here mid season.

Only similarity is it gives the CHC a reason to hang on their whine.

They are going to whine no matter what. It just gives them a bogeyman
Yeah, because Cal certainly hasn't invited this drama. It's his fault for being damn liar. It'd be fine If he'd just tell the truth. He can't though, because it has to be about him.

I'm fearing Bradshaw might be another Sharpe situation. I don't believe it till I see it.

If he is another Sharpe situation, that should be a breach in contract by Cal IMO

The UK fanbase won't stand for it, especially if we lose in the NCAA tourney because we don't have a center/rim protector/rebounder
Disgusting.

Let’s just get Z eligible so the Bradshaw “will he or won’t he” doesn’t matter as much. Need 1 7footer and then let’s run w the guys we’ve got

If we get two bigs back it's going to 2 bigs in the paint, with DJ running point and the other two spots shared between Mitchell / Justin and Reed / Dilly / Reeves. I think Cal wants to try the Twin Towers scheme, and the the offense will grind with DJ trying to get his layups. That's why I agree that we really need just one center to play and share time with Mitchell.

He's going to play in about a week or so.

I think all signs point to him playing soon. The time table is still exactly what Cal said it would be.

Ivisic's eligibility is the only component I'm concerned about, but even that I'm optimistic about. We entered the enrollment game late, and NCAA's time table is on par with what UCLA's timetable was for their big man.

Why does the NCAA take such an adversarial relationship with so many of its member schools? Can't see it.

I never thought you'd become a battered fan.

You're smarter than this.

If you end up being right and we don't see Bradshaw, I'll be right there with you, and I still think the Sharpe stuff was unforgivable because it might have cost us a Final Four and potential title, but I see nothing from Bradshaw that tells me he'll miss this season.

I like your new pic? She is very attractive. If that is you let's go out sometime. We can go to Rafters or wherever you wanna go. Sheeeeut... Not to make you feel uncomfortable or anything btw.
 
Bradshaw has been under a cloud since day one. His agency wanted him at USC, if he was there he would be playing. He has been 4-6 weeks away for more than 2 months
How much else do we need to know about the situation?

Even if it might not have cost us any progress in the tournament, it was FLAT OUT WRONG. That's the issue I have with it, and I still think Cal should have been raked over the coals publicly and by the institution. Like you said, it's unforgivable but I bet neither of them lost any sleep over it.

Twin towers worked pretty good in 78 84 and 15.

I hope you're right but I'm not getting my hopes up. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised to see Bradshaw. I went through the Sharpe saga checking this forum almost daily hoping to see some news. I won't be fooled again.
 
Next up?

"The setback"

He will be ready to play by nba workouts in April.

Get there early to watch him like sharpe!

Wheeler kept getting close to playing last year too. It never happened. It would surprise me more if AB actually played.

I expect nothing less than a "setback" or "re-injury."

C'mon, we are NOT that lucky...

LOL, I'm so tired of all this BS

He's not going to play all year

1. It smells like a Sharpe situation. No coach in his or her right mind would skip out on bringing in a guy against the Marshalls of the world and elect to give them their first exposure against Miami.

2. No one (including you or I) did anything about it the last time. Obviously UK did nothing about it

3. The media in the surrounding Lexington area doesn't have the stones to ask Cal the questions that really matter. They're like bobbleheads to whatever he has to ramble on about. Did ANY of them ever ask him "Say, Cow, any reason why you refuse to make Shaedon play, especially when he's ready?"

4. Most of the people who attend games have zero clue about what's going on. They don't really follow the games, don't go on message boards or twitter to really talk about the team. Most of them are like my grandfather "boa, them Cayts sure kept it close. Cowpurri will have them ready on Saturday"

I hope I am wrong, just don't have a good feeling

Why is it always a circus around Cal? I really dislike him more than any person around UK sports I can remember. I'd love to enjoy this team but Cal's BS lying ass just can't let it happen. It will be the best day in my UK fandom when he leaves. Ill celebrate like we won a title.

none of these bigs playing this year.

Look at this list of complete idiots. Shocking that none of them have posted that they were wrong and just spewing stupidity. I don’t think we’ll see any of them own it and admit they were totally incorrect.

Yep.

A few of those posters in particular have been making asses of themselves since the summer.

Zero ownership and accountability from any of them for their nonsense and just spewing bullshit.

The one guy saying he "feared" Bradshaw wouldn't play isn't an idiot. He represented a large portion of the fanbase and that's not really a prediction. A for effort though.

Nothing I said was wrong. It really wasn’t even a good try.
 
Got it. So you help peddle a bullshit around the board and then don't want to be held accountable and called out for it. I told you I was bookmarking it.

You fit in well with the 2023 culture nowadays.
You bookmarked a couple of comments from a few weeks ago. You got me, man!

someone in this thread had a shred of logical thinking.

Pretty clear the implication was that Cal created a circus around the Bradshaw injury, which was never the case. Idiots on this board were the ones who created the circus. Bradshaw's injury wasn't handled any differently than any other foot fracture in a tall basketball player. Medical staffs are extremely cautious with those because that type of injury has ended or derailed a lot of careers if not handled correctly.

Hell, Vanderbilt had a foot injury when he was here, came back too early, re-injured it, and had to miss his first NBA season because of it. Fans of where Sam Bowie played should know better at this point. It was nothing more than an anti-Cal circlejerk.

I don't think that's a fair assessment. One of the issues I see here, as on any messageboard, is a relentless attack on people's freedom. As in, certain posters will continue to try and find ways to ridicule others, prevent them from speaking their own thoughts. As for your last sentence accusing people of spewing BS, I don't know anyone who's doing that. At least I don't go around looking at people's posts and looking for that kind of thing. Just because someone doesn't share the same opinion as you doesn't make it BS. It doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong, what matters is that you agree with them. At least that seems to be the golden rule certain people are trying to put in place. So, stand your ground! If you're wrong, you're wrong, but SPEAK YOUR MIND, with respect for others. And people should respect others for sticking to their opinions. Let people change their own minds at their own pace.
 
I stated that I thought he would play- so at least I got that right. No matter- he is a huge difference maker- and I can emphasize that enough. What he did yesterday was remarkable- especially given his injury and missed practices. Heck, his efficiency numbers were close to Reed’s best games.

I said it's always a circus around Cal which is true. Do we not still have another guy who's not playing? And you're calling me an idiot while saying you implied something from what I said That I did not say. I would say you assumed and you know what that means. You're wrong, and frankly you've lost credibility on whatever point you were trying to make.

Dude, you are not the message board police and no one is accountable to you. Who the hell do you think you are?
 
Was I a "battered fan" or simply a guy who called it the way it actually unfolded?
Like I said some of these folks on here are dramatic . I get the drama we have had the last couple of years but between this Thread and ppl last week saying Wagner wouldn’t come back .

The Sharpe shit really have created this mindset that guys wont suit up at UK

Stop trying to justify your dumb posts. Every team in college has injuries. That’s not a circus

You being able to enjoy this team has nothing to do with Cal.

That's on you my man.

There is nothing Cal does that impacts my day and nothing I do that impacts his. Pretty easy to comprehend.

What above big Z? What about Sheaden Sharp? What about Enes Kanter? What’s about Cam Fletcher? What about Sahvir Wheeler? What about Jared Vanderbilt? Do all schools have that type of circus?
 
What about Jared Vanderbilt?
I'm going to call this one out specifically because I'm sick of the revisionist history regarding Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt was hurt. So hurt that he actually missed his entire first NBA season. It was not a circus, he was not faking it, and it has nothing to do with Cal.

Vanderbilt had a foot injury, came back too early, and re-injured it. He then missed the rest of the year, and like I said, went on to miss his first NBA season. He is exhibit A why the medical staff was extra cautious with Bradshaw.

Maybe bullshit getting spewed because the sharpe situation was bullshit and should not have ever happened. With everything that has gone on with UK under Cals watch concluding with allowing a top 10 draft pick to sit the bench and never play why should this fanbase think cal is above allowing it to happen again. The only reason it was ever brought up is because it did happen. Cant blame anyone for being leary of being led astray again. All who doubted he would ever play are happy he’s playing. Case closed!!!
