I said this a month ago and I’ll say it now. He will not play him.
Calipari will not play Sharpe this season
- Thread starter calismyhero
- Start date
Nice thread title there, champ.
Thank you. I only used that to emphasize what we already know will be true. Not that we “need” him this year but Cal is already dropping hints he won’t play him.
Maybe he will maybe he won’t, I’m guessing it’s more up to Sharpe than anything.
I still put it at a coin flip.
I don't think BBN would forgive Calipari if the kid sat out this spring and ended up jumping ship for overseas or G-League this summer.
I actually still think he plays. You don't sit Kobe, even if he's a rookie.

His comments could go either way. Cal said there is no plan to play him, but the team will just have to wait and see.
He's keeping his options open. So would I if I had a player who could take my team to the next level.

What hints has he dropped? In the last video, he didn't given any definitive answer. Said something to the effect that the plan wasn't that he would play this year but we'll see what kind of shape he is in. That, to me, certainly leaves the door open.
OP seems hopeful that we won't have the top high school player on the roster, which is a strange take. I always thought the point of each roster was to accumulate as much talent as possible.
Kobe actually had to earn his role in his rookie season. Averaged less than 16 minutes a game with 7 points and ended up starting in 6 games. I think Sharpe will have to do the same. Cal has already said "let's get him in shape first and go from there." Sharpe will also make more money at UK then he will overseas or in the G-League and is too young to be drafted this year if I remember correctly. Already has a deal with the Porsche dealership that Tyty and Josh Paschal have.
Unless there is any sort of evidence

WTF then why did start another thread that already Exist. Are you looking for likes? Are you bored? Are you too lazy to read the existing threads before you start a thread. Come On Man.
Well he should of signed with someone else then, because I would never sign to play for coach that won't play me.
He's supposed to be practicing with the team Thursday.
Nice bait thread. Neither you nor anyone else here knows if he will or will not play.
Timeshifted to the future and saw where he didn't earn any minutes in practice because he didnt - or couldnt ( I'm sure we're debating this on the Rafters bigtime by then) outwork any of the other 10 ? or more ? To earn any play time whatsoever?
And the kid is rated #1 ?
wow !
the future must be bright if we're THAT good?
How'd the title game go?
j/k - I had to pull your chain a little.
I say let the young man prove himself and see where he fits in.
But that would be the second captain obvious statement I've made this week.

Oh brother, and the point of this thread is what? I just wasted 5 minutes of my life
You just have to look who started it and after that you know it’s something negative or a shot at Cal , guys just a ass .
Congratulations I just named my septic tank after you. It should go hand in hand considering you both full of $##%
Eddie George started over rookie Kobe
*edit - Eddie Jones, not Eddie George. I'm an idiot

IMO(just showing that a poster can actually add that to the title of their thread), Sharpe will play when Cal feels he's ready, which will most likely be the END OFTHIS season. The kid is too talented not to be used when he has practiced enough with the rest of his teammates.
Cal will probably do the smart thing and see how well conditioned he is, how he interacts and plays with the team, and how fast he picks up the offense, but especially defense at this level. If he likes what he sees and Sharpe wants to play he will. Of Sharpe doesn’t want to play he won’t.
If Sharpe shows in practice that he is what we think/hope he is, I see no reason why he couldn't at the very least follow the Ron Mercer blueprint for the remainder of this season. Play a supporting role, come off the bench, develop his game and acclimate to D-1 college basketball, and possibly end up playing a major role in this team's destiny come tournament time. I mean, if he is DEFINITELY playing next year anyway, why not at least have him on the bench and available for the remainder of this season too?
He will save him for the final four against dook then break out the Kraken for the title.
Kobe played for the Houston Oilers or did Eddie George play for the lakers?
Think you meant eddie Jones.
Wrong take dude. I want him on our team, we need him playing this year. We need to go to a 3 guard lineup with two guys outside that can shoot consistently. Grady is one, nobody else, not even Washington, has been consistent. Hell yes I want him playing.
You're correct. I'm brain damaged and stupid, perfect combo to put a HoF RB in the NBA. LOL
