Dykes said he thinks ugo is back before Bradshaw

I don’t remember sharpe ever saying how excited he was to play and how much he looks foward to playing at all.
I'm going to report down there after Christmas," he said. "I'm going to redshirt. I just want to get a head start on college basketball and train with older, bigger, stronger and better players."

Sharpe didn't shut the door on playing during the 2021-22 campaign.

"I'll do whatever the team needs," he said, "but 100 percent I will be at Kentucky to play next season."

Fair, I think their different situations and Bradshaw plays but I can’t blame fans for thinking he wont
 
All Dykes milks the gullible for hits once again.

Guys, he doesn’t know anything. They don’t release injury details or status Don’t let them play you.
 
Lmao I just don’t understand this. The kid has been out how long now, 6/7 fvcking months?! Just absolute BS IMO. What in the world is taking this so long to heal?!
Someone posted a theory that Bradshaw was hurt in the McDonalds all American game. And that when he came to UK he said he was injured. Now he gets to coast and use our facilities and get ready for the draft. Ala Sharpe 2.0
 
Bradshaw will likely be like J. Vanderbilt regardless of what Cal says. Even when he is cleared it will take him a month to get into game shape. You cant go from not playing with zero contact to banging down low against SEC bigs.
He is too thin and weak to “bang with SEC bigs”. I think many of you will be disappointed, he will be more like Skal than any other highly rated UK FR.

Yes sir... no reason They should have to report any injury details at UK because we already know they're hurt, injured or need surgery when they pull up to the Wildcat Lodge in Lexington on that very 1st day. Btw Cal and Jimmy are kind of tight so I could see Cal letting Dykes in on something OFF the record that accidentally gets ON the record. Although I say it's unlikely as well if it's very deep. Cal keeps it close to the vest. Which is best if it contains full of shit information. It's harder to get caught up in lies if you don't talk about it publicly.

Yeah there are several coaches that will play the press like a violin. The press is ravenous for DRAMA. Coaches smell it a mile away. I’ve seen Cal roll a reporter like a Benny on a PlayStation.
 
It's almost like we get all the 5star players with 4 star injuries. Or 4 star player with 4 star injuries. We get to pull off the #1 recruiting class year after year, but that comes with the most solid #1 injury prone class. They should start keeping up with that as a statistic. I'm sure it's out there.

I understand kids gets hurt sometimes and that's gonna happen. With Kentucky it's just different and weird as hell. If we finish on a bad note after this season then someone else will come out that Calipari will say shouldn't been playing. Someone hurt the right earlobe on Sr. Night and had been playing at about 20% ever since but he just love these kids.
 
Are you sure about that? I just feel like Dykes doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Im not sure if Cal would hint something like that to him? He may have hinted at another few weeks but I doubt he told Dykes that Ugo was closer back than Bradshaw. That’s just my opinion tho

Cal definitely talks to Dykes. Most definitely. Just like he talks to Seth Greenburg.

Good ol Playstation! Be a good retirement gift for Cal. He could coach NBA players, college players, hell he could prob turn the injury mode off. Be a good gift to get any UK fan tired of dealing with injuries. Dynasty Mode. It been 2003 since I last played one but I bet I could pick it back up.

That's how he was tryin to get that info out about how shitty UK facilities were was with Seth. Seth Greenberg said KY needed to move and they needed to move now on this thing like he had some kind of stake it in 😂. He prob had a steak in that mouth bought from Cals pockets for working on it.

Never used a PlayStation. Sports games never interested me. I guess after doing sports of one manner of another for years on end, I had enough without doing the pretend version too.

Yeah Cal plays the media lot of ways. They eat it up for the click bait. At times it backfires, like that pissing contest with Stoops. I know it was fake but it didn’t have good optics.

Ehhh,I just feel like Bradshaw plays. Didn't have that feeling at all with Sharpe. I get why fans are questioning it with Cals history with this shit, but ny gut is telling me Bradshaw plays.

Well I'm with ya on the games. I played basketball, baseball, football and tried soccer a couple of years. I was decent I'd say. Not an AA or anything lol. But I got to playing PS accidentally by being over at a friend's house watching them play one of the college basketball games with a few of my buddies and we'd bet like $5 a game and smoke weed and do all the shit you're not supposed to be do at a young age. I liked it so much I actually bought a PS3 and once I got it and try to play by myself it wasn't any fun anymore. I felt like WTH am I doing. Seem like a waste of time. I thought this sucks. And... Other than a regular Nintendo with Mario when I was prob 5 yrs old I never was big on the games myself. I did like ol Mario though and I'm proud of it. 😂

To each his own... I don't have a problem with ppl if that's wat they enjoy doing. I think sometimes grown ass men take it too far but so do I probably just in a different area probably that they wouldn't agree with.
 
I think he plays, and dykes had a slip of the tongue. Bradshaw is completely different from sharpes situation, because the kid himself is saying he is playing every chance he gets and it posting about playing. No info at all I bet he plays around the penn game in December

Yeah they are and he uses Dykes to set the narrative and does it in a manner where he acts as its something all Uk fans already know and are fine with. Its a very manipulative tactic.

If Bradshaw doesn't play this year, that will be the final straw for me as a fan of Cal. I can't stand for another Sharpe situation and the pulse of the fanbase will reach a fever pitch if they flame out due to not having a serviceable big on the roster.

Yeah I was just being a little bit sarcastic at the beginning by saying it's no reason to announce any injuries because every year one or more of our guys shows up and supposedly already hurt. So we already know. They probably knocking dusts off old boots and ordering new neck braces instead of playing pickup. Almost like Measuring them for rings. Injury rings. I don't know whats real an what's not, but I was just being sarcastic about that first little part.
 
And didn't Cal also say that Big Z was already cleared by the NCAA and it was a school issue slowing things down? Or at least he implied it. Now, here we are.
 
It’s been so long I forgot, what exactly was Bradshaw’s injury? Pretty much a week away from the season starting and everything is still murky on his status.

Yes this is exactly what I see as well. It is becoming more obvious as the timeline keeps getting pushed back. Did yall hear Dykes mention January?
1. A few weeks away
2. Cal wishes he wouldn't have put a timeline on it
3. Bradshaw wants to play so bad he loves it here
4. Conference play starts, He's cleared but has to get into shape
5. Season ends and he never plays
