Isaiah Jackson to undergo surgery Monday
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
Ah that sucks, I wondered why he wasn’t playing. They got rid of Oscar to Utah as well. I hope this doesn’t end his career. That is one of the worst injuries for a big man especially.

I’m not one to typically complain about this sort of stuff because we have a lot of players in the NBA and the whole Lebron nepo nonsense is a big deal, but yeah. Are we getting every injury report now or something?
He played hard while here, didn't fake an injury, gave it his all for us while here. He made a good decision to cash in while he could and has had a decent career so far. If this was EJ or Boston etc then I would be in the same boat as you but those who did what they could for us I'm fine with following in the NBA. Once a wildcat always a wildcat (the previously mentioned and many more were never wildcats)
IJ is a pretty good dude, so it sucks to see this. His pro career has moved slowly, but he was coming along and becoming a solid member of this Pacers squad. Seemed like he was carving out a nice place, making a living stateside. Hope he can get back on track.
He was the only good thing about the 2020 season honestly.
Goes to show how much I'd checked out on UKMBB after 2016. I had no idea this dude even played for Kentucky. Like you said, once a cat, always a cat, but I legit have no recollection of watching him play.
Frankly, I didn't either. I still don't remember him.
I had to stop and think when I saw his name in the thread title too. Others saying they don't remember him. I think that's all a product of the one and done type of era Cal promoted. Most guys were here such a short time we hardly got to know them. Always seemed like a whole new roster to learn about each season. I know it's a derivative of today's game but I'm hoping that Pope can slow that down a bit and have some players here awhile that we can actually get to know better.
All former UK players deserve our respect
If you remember them, yeah. if I hadn't browsed the thread, I'd have asked the same thing. I do not remember this player.
I have zero recollection of Isaiah Jackson, though. That's why I asked.
I also was asking the OP, but he just posts link after link and rarely participates in the discussion. I wanted to hear why he posted it.
I actually don't even recall him playing here. My memory is starting to suck as it is, but having forgettable seasons in the most recent years under Cal doesn't help. I could name the starting lineup from a team from 30 years ago but struggle to remember players from a couple years ago.
I didn’t recognize his face and am shocked to find out he played for us. A quick google search taught me he was on the 9-16 season that should have got Calipari shitcanned immediately. Shocker. I try to block that one from my memory. Holy hell I’m so glad that useless douchebag is gone.
It would be bad enough if they were here for one successful season. When they played on a 9-16 team the whole thing is a bad memory. Some of them played a few games and then got “injured” but were perfectly healthy for pro days and draft combines. Others could dunk in practice but sadly just couldn’t play for “reasons.” Not surprised I have no clue who Isiah Jackson is.
Also, **** John Calipari and his condescending, smug, useless face.
