Is Edwards even hurt?

Honestly who cares if he is or not. I don't wish bad for the kid and don't want anyone hurt but the fact is he is clearly not lived up to the hype.
 
I say klutch told him to shut it down and save what little stock he has based on “potential”. Will probably tell the NBA cal holds their guys back and say pick this guy he’s good. Calipari will likely not get another Klutch recruit (good).
Aaron Bradshaw will not play a second in a Kentucky uniform. - You… known Klutch expert
 
I'm waiting for Cal to say that Edwards has been battling some type of injury all season in order to enhance his draft stock and give the scouts a reason for Justin being so pedestrian this year.
Yep - I said that in a few threads already starting a couple of days ago.
 
It seems obvious that Cal does not like to play with a full roster. One guy comes back, one guy sits out, one guy comes back, two guys sit out.

It’s more than coincidental. It’s odd.
It's almost like a backhanded attempt to peak in March, which hasn't been working.

Smart money would be that Edwards saw his minutes dwindling, and his draft stock plummeting and figured he'd be better off not playing any more.

It's exactly what Jalen Johnson did.. but for some reason everyone (correctly) blamed the player, and not Coach K.
 
Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, but it ultimately doesn't matter. Edwards has gotten worse as the season has progressed. He isn't going to break out this year. He's just a warm body on the court.

This feels like the classic Calipari move to protect the kid.

A big part of our problem last night was zero depth. While Edwards hasn’t been productive, he would have at least given guys a breather.
Very possible, but I don't know how probably it is. He's been struggling, we can all see that. He needs less playing time, we can all see that. Maybe he has something minor that they don't want to turn into something major?

Either way, still needed him. We didn't need him for 22 minutes, but maybe 8 minutes per half could have made a difference.
 
And NIL is great at KY football, magilla gorilla
And Aaron Bradshaw isn’t gonna play a second. And we should do NIl like Tennessee. And 🤡

Where is Aaron Bradshaw gonna play since he isn’t gonna play a second for UK Klutch expert? Oh wait, you’re not a Klutch expert, you’re a clueless crybaby always making up BS.

The difference you you habitually make up lies and act like you’re an expert. When can we expect Aaron Bradshaw to play?
Here you go again Magilla. When did I claim to be an expert? I’m just speculating like any other fan. Get over yourself.
 
And if that happens, then measures need to be taken. It’s way past time for the AD of this University to assert his authority. Stop thinking about just the $$ and do the right thing.
 
Could not care less. Edwards was a total whiff by the "experts" who assign rankings to kids in high school. Kid is a bust in terms of being a sure-fire top 5 recruit mentioned as a potential NBA #1 pick.

Irritated Cal let him start and play so many minutes for the first half of the season, taking more shots than Reed Sheppard at times. I'm just glad that people around here finally came to terms with it after MANY kept saying it very early on ... you just needed to look at his body language, movement with and without the ball, inability to dribble, bone-headed passes, matador defense standing straight up, inability to take contact, missed lay-ups, missed dunks, and the list goes on. Got really tired of the "you're just not patient enough" ... he's 20 years old, friends. He's not 17 or 18. He is who he is.

Z was available in the 2nd half to give guys a breather, but Cal said no............ they guys who sits on our sidelines is not a coach but rather a businessman.

Z doesn't really fix the same situations Edwards does.

Edwards at the 3 lets you sit Sheppard, Reeves, Dillingham for stretches. Z doesn't do that.

Now, we should have used Z and Bradshaw a little more to spell Ugo and Mitchell.
 
Said today in the UT pre-game presser he hurt his quad in a 5 on 5 scrimmage. Said he would likely practice today and hopes to play on Sat.

I never thought I'd be worried about his availability, but here's hoping he can go on Saturday.
 
I don't really care if he plays any more at this point. He had his chances and now we have Thiero back. Calipari won't play Edwards at the 4 and Mitchell at the 5 so I don't see a role for him.

Wagner, though, we really need him.
Thiero's back is a problem.
 
Are we gonna have a full roster in ANY game this season?! Unbelievable we haven’t had all guys available for even ONE damn game. Incredible!
It’s ridiculous, I have been taking it easy on Edwards all year but if he quit then man, no respect. I dunno when he was supposedly hurt. It came out of nowhere.

Z gives Mitchell a breather plus who knows, maybe he makes a shot or 2 and prob gives us more than Bradshaw- Edwards has given us nothing all yr

Sure, but

We literally needed a guy to run up and down the court so the others could rest for a few minutes here and there. Edwards could have done that.
