I think he plays, he wants to be here. He wants to play. I dont think SS ever stated either way. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt to AB.
I’m not getting a good vibe on AB per Ben Roberts latest …hope I’m wrong
- Thread starter JST390-2
- Start date
Aaron Bradshaw will not be at UK 3/4 years. Much more likely 3/4 of a season. I don't know why fans keep thinking the coach is someone other than Calipari. As soon as AB starts putting up decent numbers he's out of here.
My concern is, if he starts with the team after a month how effective will he be? How long will it take for him to get back into game shape? How will he disturb the continuity that the team has developed to that point? So there are a lot of things to think about even if he sure does play. How many returned injured players have been really effective players?

It depends on how soon he returns, whether he is allowed to do any cardio-vascular exercise while he recovers from his surgery, and maybe some intangibles about which few or maybe none of us are aware at this point. If he fully recovers in 6-8 weeks as he claims, it may slow his progress a bit, but not to the point where it will seriously affect our season.
I get that you're tired of the Cal bashing, but this crap keeps happening with this program because Cal allows it to and he refuses to change it. Players-first + Generation Z = a nonstop disaster. Add Kluch into the mix and it's even worse.
Then Cal gets in front of the mics yesterday and just talks in circles and doesn't actually say anything and it's because he's hiding things.
Nothing has changed but the players. Cal's priorities are not what you think they are and I'm telling you, this season is going to be another disaster.
Wtf. Such a liar? Some of you fn people just say anything and think it makes ya look cool or something.
The man didn't say anything wrong in that response. What did you want him to say?!
He decided on surgery fast because he wants to have it and get well and play. Had nothing to do with how long the damn surgery takes smh
And they will make posts time after time that the fans don't push players away. This is the kind of stupid sh*t that will. Grow the f up. I want to win every game just as bad as the rest of you, but it's a game and some things won't go your way.
What did you want him to say there?
Getting back? Getting back for what? He doesn't care what the fans think, all of you know it and it kills you
Wrong.
If Klutch tells Bradshaw to sit, he's going to sit.
You need to understand how this works. Klutch talks to NBA people all the time, it's what they do, so if playing college ball could risk AB's draft position, Klutch will tell him not to play and that is exactly what happened with Sharpe.
This tells me you didn't pay a lick of attention during the Sharpe situation, without actually telling me you didn't pay attention.
I think Cowtown meant that AB won't show his true upside for 3 or 4 years and that we won't see the really good AB while he's in a UK jersey.
AB is only here one season, even if he turns out to be BJ Boston bad.
That's true. The one thing we have going for us is .... His draft stock isn't the greatest is it? He definitely needs to be on the floor and show what hes capable of to be a top lottery pick
I thought he was a projected lottery pick? If he is, we, as UK fans, should be very concerned about what Klutch pulls here.
It'll be very easy for Klutch to say he either reaggravated the foot, or they don't want him to risk reinjuring it. It’s definitely something to talk about and I don't think UK fans should be critisized for being concerned about AB sitting out.
Say what you want on either side, but now Bradshaw, his posse, and Cal, have a built in excuse to play this anyway they deem most beneficial to Bradshaw, and definitely not for UK and BBN!
With that said, those of you who think that Bradshaw is coming back at the earliest possible date to play, are suffering from a condition called Stockholm Syndrome.

Maybe just maybe a silver lining here …cause I posted the latest Givony mock draft …Bradshaw had slipped to 32 …that’s the top of the 2nd round …some posters made comments that what happened to his draft stock …good point and worth monitoring
He owes you nothing.... who tells your enemy your internal issues? Then people know how to gaslight you. Or God forbid a situation changes then you held accountable for it. I mean my situation changes all the time, daily really. You adapt the best you can. No matter what you do or handle any situation 50% will agree and the other disagree. I'm sure you have figured that out. I mean that's life my friend. What is he supposed to do et him go to Duke?
Sam Bowie said be careful, be very careful.
Most of these Keyboard Cowboys on here must not be old enough to remember what Big Sam endured with his feet while attempting to play here.
Foot injuries to big men can end a career and often take months to heal. Even with surgery.
And yes, Big Sam wanted to play, also.
He may be. I don't keep up with the mocks very well. I was thinking he was late teens. It is a little concerning. Automatically saying he is SS and wont play isn't just being concerned. That's when criticism starts. Who should be blamed?
This. I was baffled by her response to me. 🤣
That's pretty much all coaches. There's a reason why they call it coach-speak.
Very much like some politicians they get really good at saying a lot without actually saying anything.
It does make you wonder if Cal and UK shouldn't just get ahead of this. Retain Bradshaw as a scholarship player, but inform him he's not playing this year (red shirt or whatever). Then we can honestly tell whoever is remaining in the portal, that Bradshaw won't be a factor in their playing time, should they choose to come here.
We avoid the "will he wont he" fiasco, get another PF in here, and it would make fantastic PR for future players to want to come here, by doing right by the player..

Great points
Bradshaw won't play with Wagner- WRONG
Bradshaw is going to USC- WRONG
4-6 months (guess we will see but I'm saying WRONG)
Once he plays his first game here, the usual suspects will transition to "Well let's see how many games, before he shuts it down early" it's all so hacky and predictable

They must be exhausted having to move the goalposts so often.
That could happen behind the scenes and be in keeping with Cal's cloak and dagger management style when it comes to injuries and who is on the roster vs who is available to play
Did you see what Klutch just did with Chris Livingston?
They were careless and probably cost him millions. Nobody should trust that organization at all. Chris should have worked out for the draft process and he should have played the 4.
Klutch calls the shots, not Cal, not the player and not the family.
Why is no one worried about Klutch shutting down Edwards? Even before the foot injury, Bradshaw was getting slammed because he is repped by Klutch (won't play with Wagner/USC, etc.) and yet, Edwards also repped by Klutch, but no one EVER questions either his desire to play for UK or Klutch's desire for him to play for UK.
But, AB gets slammed repeatedly that he won't play...even before the injury. But nothing about Edwards. I don't understand it.
Just for clarification...I'm not in anyway criticizing Edwards. Just wondering with Bradshaw gets doubted.

The ones that are exhausting to me, are the guys in here trying to defend Cal by making excuses for all the failures, all the crap that happens behind the scenes, the coach speak, the stubbornness and the pathetic performances that have cost this program so much.
The mental gymnastics I see on here daily by these Cal fans trying to defend him, is really impressive. I mean, I will never understand how so many adults can't see what's happening right under their noses.
I don't have to move goalposts to make my points about how bad of a shitshow this has become, Cal proves it for me with almost everything he does or says.
Yeah. I am sure you were speaking tongue in cheek. I do not think you are that clever.
I can hold Cal accountable without being a nonstop blubbering asshole. I do not hate him and I support him and the team.
Who said Klutch told him to sit during the season? Where did you get that?
Klutch told Cal not to play him at the 4, so you tell me, did Cal play him at the 4? No, he didn't, then he lied to the fans: "I couldn’t put him at the 4, you ready for this… because I hadn't played him there before, it would be unfair to the kid… " that's such a load of shit. We all know the real reason.
Ado played the 2, 3 and the 4 last season, why was he able to do it?
But you're partially right, Klutch DID tell Chris to sit, but it was during the NBA combine and again, you tell me, what did Chris do? Say it with me… .he sat.
The anti Cal goalposts haven't been moved in the last 3 years, they haven't required a new coat of paint either.
Because Edwards is a legit top shelf talent, Klutch knows they don't have to hide his flaws.
That might make some sense if Cal actually put the program first. But he doesn't, so that won't happen.
No, it's been pretty easy, 9-16, Saint Peters, Sharpe, KSU, 12 losses, barking at the fans, the Wheeler debacle, get on the back of the train, can't play Chris at the 4, refusing to do pressers, lying to the fans, the 1980's offense, taking long two's, playing favorites, refusing to play the Benny line-up… I could go on. It's way too easy and I don't need to move any freaking goalposts.
