The last several years there's been more drama than wins. If we don't make a serious run this year then Cal is toast.
Cal regrets using the 5 weeks or more timeline for Bradshaw
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
Its all CoachSpeak. At UK its hard to get away with for very long. Cal said it himself, "its a 10 yr job".
That being said, I'll be more disappointed if Bradshaw doesn't play. He seemed genuinely excited about it and even now he flashes that big small on the sideline with the team ...... I never as good about Sharpe. Although I never hate on a kid for cashing a lottery ticket. Blame the adults.

Fair points I guess. I'm just inclined to let it play out.
I dunno man, it makes no sense. Unless he’s saying that they are further ahead and ready to go this makes no sense.
It would be freakin hilarious if he were doing this to another school. Since he's at my school, it's enraging. I am verging on hating the mf-er.
Relax fellas, there’s still plenty of time to get healed up for Draft Night!
I have no doubt that Bradshaw committed to UK with the intentions of playing and I believe he still wants to play. But with the accident and time to think about it, the question now is have people who have invested years of time in his development, and who has influence over him now gotten "cold feet" and are afraid chancing loosing their payday?
It's a great question. We also know that we have a head coach at Kentucky who is more than willing to let players sit out if they choose to do so. Add in all the smoke from the Klutch and USC rumors earlier this year, and I put it at 50/50 that Bradshaw plays at all.
And won't make foot issues any better for them. Gaining that much weight in a short period of time stresses tendons, connective tissue, and joints. They will likely be hurt again if they come back at all this year.
Reeves & Mitchell on Big Z.
“It’s gonna be very fun doing that,” Reeves said. “With Tre and Z, it’s just like the same thing to me. They both can dribble, shoot, pass. And, of course, they’re going to work on their post game, as well. But it’s a level of, ‘Ah, I can pass to Z, run off Z, then Z can pop/shoot.’ It’s things like that that are just going to make the game really fun.” Asked if it was “jarring” to see a 7-2 guy with the shooting, passing and dribbling skills that Ivisic possesses, Mitchell grinned. “At this stage in the basketball world, no. Not at all,” he said. “It’s becoming more and more common. And I feel like, eventually, that’s where things are going to transition to: a bunch of huge dudes that can do absolutely anything you need them to do.” - LHL

Bradshaw may still play some, but the first time he stubs a toe or jams a finger, I believe he will just shut it down again.
I don't know, I'm thinking a draft tonight instead of bottle.
I want to see him wearing a shirt that says "Bradshaw playing for the team actually exists."
Bradshaw’s been out for 6 months. Does he really need another 1-2 months?
Initially his injury was such that surgery might or might not be necessary. He opted to have surgery to fix the problem. 6 to 8 month recovery time seems a bit long for the issue he supposedly had. Cal and whoever can say or do as they choose but the timeline seems suspect. Cal's recent statements on the matter only serve to further cloud the issue.
I'm all for strength/weight training but doesn't it seem kind of counter intuitive to put on 25lbs when dealing with lower extremity injuries.
Granted it's inevitable a guy who can't do cardio training will likely gain some weight.
However, 25lbs of extra stress on the bones, ligaments, and joints they're trying to rehabilitate would only complicate things. These guys needed the bulk but color me skeptical given our recover and injury history recently.
