And ultimately, that's probably what happened. If I had to bet, I'd bet that Sharpe at least mentioned a possibility of his plans, or not at all. I don't think Cal would be THAT insnae to take a kid he knew wasn't going to play.

The problem is, wow.. we have months possibly to see how this plays out.
I don’t think he did either. I think his handlers are either telling the truth say he will eventually play or they’re about to out themselves as the biggest snakes in the planet.

If there's a decent chance he contributes this season or next on a championship contender, why on Earth wouldn't you take the chance?

We could have really used another perimeter player last night. In two months, if Sharpe can give 10 solid minutes in that situation, it was clearly worth it. If you're not certain that's impossible, take the chance!

This is about people pissed at Cal. For the record, I want to see him succeed here. If we bring in a different coach, then the same thing applies. This is all about the all-or-nothing, black-or-white feeling people have about Cal.
If he plays this year, fine, but that was never the original plan.
 
I haven't been following since like page 13.. so idk who is saying what.

But I imagine the pro-Cal crowd is more so just waiting to see how this unfolds. I don't think even the most por-Cal guys would defend him.

That's not to say some won't still defend him.. but i don't think everyone has lit their torches yet.

My entire argument was playing Sharpe gives UK the best chance for a national title. You twisted that into your ****ed up argument.
 
We all got hoodwinked to think he would ever play. And Calipari only gave us false hope thinking he would eventually play, whether this year when ready, or next. He was never going to play. And Calipari knew it.

And you guys believe Calipari was duped? I can’t believe you guys actually believe this. I know you’re a UK fan I don’t question that, but the blind loyalty to Calipari needs to come into question.

Nothing happens at this program without Calipari knowing about it, and signing off on it. He’s the GM, AD, and coach. It’s his show, Sharpe and his posse cannot dupe John Calipari. You guys need to accept that.
 
We can only hope . No matter what the speculation gonna be there up until the final deadline to declare for the draft . Even if he announces now I’m flat out staying people won’t believe it .
Kinda wondering if he will be accepted in NBA from UK alumni guys if he bolts without a season in blue. Not that it would matter much to millionaires it just seems like our NBA Cats would encourage him to take a year under Cal and SEC to prepare yourself for the pro life. With the money and benefits now hell he could make a years salary on campus with plenty of playing time. Not so much in pros he be sitting.

You don't have an argument. You just have 24/7 bitching about Calipari. Because you care more about that than you actually care about UK. As you've made very clear in this thread. Sorry you outed yourself, but thats not my fault.

Calipari knew, or found out, he was eligible for the draft. Point blank period. That’s why he began to say he might play “if covid”. He’s throwing it out there to begin that process. Calipari is a master at this, hard to believe many can’t see it.

More of you hate uk, go root for UL, yada, yada, yada.

Look at the non UK fan telling a real UK fan he’s not fan. News flash, you’re the one who’s okay with this as long as Calipari doesn’t get blamed. You are no UK fan, stop projecting.
 
Hey though... this is good. This is where I think our large fanbase can make a difference. We deserve answers from both Cal and Sharpe, and the more we get the ball rolling, the quicker we can find an answer and solution.

I would like to know what the deal is THIS week. If Sharpe isn't playing, then remove him from the team. If he still intends to play, I'd like to see him and his family really come to the table on this.
 
Wow, I left the house at 1:45 for a physical therapy appointment. Got home at 4:30 to this … 15 pages in two and a half hours lol.

My opinion:

Nothing anymore could possibly happen, personnel wise, during the Cal era, that would surprise me. That’s all I’ve got.

Hope the therapy is going well. My mother in law is dealing with it as well.
 
He will now play!
LFG!
Not sure about that. If he plays and isn't very good, he would hurt his draft status. If he's considered top 5 without ever playing, he won't likely improve on that by playing.

I do hope he stays If he doesn't play or stays if he doesn't play or even better, that he plays but still decides to stay. I guess we'll see.

I’m still waiting to see what happens. If we make a Final Four and Sharpe leaves that’s going to highly suck, but we make the Final Four so….

Exactly what I was thinking. Explanations need to happen and if he’s not going to play get him off this team and set the example. No real UK fan could be against that. Not one.

No doubt. They don’t get to pretend this isn’t happening. They don’t get to pretend that this couldn’t potentially destroy this great season for these other kids. If this happens I’m all for cleaning house from Barnhart down.

I don't get these guys saying ''yeah well we don't know if he will leave, he said so and so'' We got Branham asking around and they all come to the consensus that they would be SHOCKED if Sharpe returned and you got Sharpe in top 10 on mock boards. Sharpe would turn down 15 million to come back to UK?????????? Did Wall, Davis, Towns etc take that chance when they had guaranteed money?
 
So wait—some of our fans believe that Cal recruited him with the absolute knowledge that he’s not gonna play a full season here?

Not buying that for a second. Did Cal and all of the rest of us know it was possible? Of course.

So, as others have stated, what exactly was Cal supposed to do here? Not recruit the overall #1 recruit bc it was possible he may not play a full season and go to the draft? I’m genuinely curious what you guys wanted him to do. I didn’t read the full thread maybe I missed it.

It is completely and totally fair to be pissed off about Sharpe not playing. I will be if thats what happens. However, what makes absolutely no sense at all if you ACTUALLY CARE about UK's success is to STILL be pissed off at Cal even he has a successful season. There is no way to spin that argument other than: you care more about your disagreements with Cal's decisions and how he runs the program than you do about the program's success.

Tell him today he’s either playing or going home.

That's what has become so ridiculous about all this. We are looking at the possibility of 3 months and done...
