With all the injuries this year I wouldn’t be surprised to see Cal try and keep him and Z next year even with the Freshman. It would be nice to have 4 quality bigs and 2 with experience(small as it may be, depending on who plays this year.)
Bradshaw
- Thread starter CBBCrazy
- Start date
They probably wanted him to be 100% or as close to not reinjuring it just playing as possible. Vanderbilt is exhibit A for kids with a pro future to not rush. Frustrating yes but understandable.
What? That’s just facts. Fans are not entitled to a lot of info people are throwing hissy fits over. It’s not just here Your job is to watch the games and send money.
I’m fine with that. Just the idea that he’s on his way back rather than pulling a Shaedon Sharpe is a huge relief. We need a big man BAD.
Do what?! Where is this coming from with Ugo?! Been said for awhile now that he will return around two weeks after Bradshaw.
How is that moving the goal posts?
Pitino never talked about player injuries. Bill Self doesn't at Kansas. You KNOW Coach K never did it.
Why do you expect Cal to tell you every little detail, otherwise it's "moving the goal posts"? Makes zero sense.
I think you've cracked the code. He'll be back for Miami. Why? Because like you said, that would be yuge. What else is yugely great? Mar a Lago. And where is that located? Just north of Miami. The signs have been there all along.
It's hard to imagine Onyenso playing this year. He's not in the same league as our top 8-9 guys.
I think this brings up a good point and it's one I've mentioned here before. Other coaches do exactly the same things that Cal does, people here just don't realize it because they don't hang on every word those other coaches say.
I’d say it’s less to do with injury and more to do with he’s just not very good
For some reason Jones has said all along he didn't think Ugo would play at all this year. I don't know what is driving that thought.

On IG he agreed with the guy that said he would be back in 3-4 weeks.
This. It isn't that complicated. If he truly had a hairline foot fracture and required surgery it must have been severe enough to require it. The kid is 18 years old and 7'2" feet tall. It would be expected to be managed with significant caution.
Also, I've read several posters say that this happened in March...I'm not sure if the injury did, but it wasn't reported until mid June. I don't think the surgery was until closer to late that month.
So it has really been like 5 months since surgery. He's missed 4 games and people should relax. Hopefully he is back Friday or next week at latest.
Yeah in June it was reported 4-6 months. They probably didn’t know of surgery was required until a couple months healing showed it was needed.
I don’t know about all that. He was ranked quite high in his original class, higher than Bradshaw in some. Also, he has damn good timing for blocked shots. That’s rather obvious by watching him play. We don’t have another guy like him on the entire roster. Now, his offense is somewhat weak. I’ll agree there.

He gonna play and make a bunch of people look dumb. That’s nothing new for them tho.
Some of you guys are so clueless. Cal try and keep bradshaw, a projected top ten pick for another year.. LOL Z may come back but Bradshaw, Wagner, Dillingham and Edwards are all gone off this team. You might as well call that sharpie at this point.
One thing I have yet to see anyone really mention in the national media, during live broadcasts, etc. is the fact that Bradshaw finished the Rivals recruiting rankings as the second best recruit in the nation, behind Collier. He was ahead of Edwards, Holland, Wagner, the G-League Ignite kid that everyone pegged for Duke, and so on from this class ...
... they rank bigs on NBA potential mostly, but if Bradshaw is who everyone thinks he is, he should be UK's most talented player.

Well you didn't read the correct articles then. They were said to be completely wrong on that assumption and he wouldn't be back until Oct or November
You would be wrong w/ this assertion. Sam Bowie missed the better part of 2 years w/ a stress (which I believe is what AB has?) fracture in his shin
Happened once, so it's no longer unprecedented...pandora's box is open and there's always the chance it could happen again.
Bradshaw agreed it would be a 4-6 week injury originally. Maybe that changed. Either way we're going on month 6. Lets also not forget this injury supposedly occurred in the MCDAA game or near that time, that was the end of March. Then we didn't start to even hear about an injury until June a full month after and even that was a weird situation where it seemed like it was trying to be hidden. Some of you can act like everything has been normal with Bradshaw but it absolutely has not. I think he will play soon but who knows.
He will be a great asset to the team; maybe not in the same role that mitchell's been playing, but the kid will be a beast of a rim protector and a helluva lob finisher outta the short corner. Dude can also get up and down the floor; the only thing I can see he's behind the other bigs is as a jump-shooter, and a less than stellar jump shot can definitely be worked around when you're a 7 foot athlete
Is Miami a ton better than Kansas (who lost badly last night to Marquette (LOL)). We held our own against Kansas. I would think we could hold our own against Miami without Bradshaw. I would love to have him for Marshall and Miami but we know Cal never ever moves that fast.
Simple google search.
KU Sports
Kansas basketball coach Bill Self provided a series of injury updates for his current team on Tuesday night during his appearance on his “Hawk Talk” radio show. Here’s a quick look at the latest on the four scholarship players who have been impacted by injuries so far this season. • Cam Martin...
No, we are slandering and questioning the integrity of Klutch. Bradshaw has no say in whether he plays or not. Same with Sharpe. They are being manipulated, that’s the speculation.
People like you also said that Sharpe would definitely be playing for us at some point, and he never did. You need to remember that. You guys were wrong. The Klutch smoke from the summer was real. The Shaedon Sharpe stuff was real. Your attempt to mock Kentucky fans for being cautionary is silly and makes you look silly.
