Last year I wanted Cal gone, I thought his style of basketball doesn’t really work great in modern basketball without the absolute best of the best of players out there to be had.
Then last offseason Cal fired problematic coaches and brought in proven winners, Cal then went after every big fish recruit he could find with a reinvigorated fury that we hadn’t seen in 7-8 years.
I was all the way back on the Cal train, I loved the changes he made, all for the better.
Having a guy use us as a training camp, purposefully keep hidden his draft status and lie and say he plans to play here next year to make sure he gets NIL, and Cal allows it all just to paint this illusion that he “landed” the #1 player. The Cal haters have been saying it for years, this isn’t your ****ing NBA training camp Cal, this team doesn’t exist to coddle your ego or give free rides to guys to pretend to be Kentucky basketball players to boost your status.
I give Sharpe a less than 1% chance at passing on being a top 5ish pick, no one has ever done that under Cal, no one may have ever done that ever in the last 20 years of college basketball at any school.
Now I’m angry at Cal and I’m angry at Sharpe, because the guy knows what his high school credit situation was a year ago, and he knows what day he was born, and he’s known the whole time he was eligible for this draft and he likely lied about it to ensure he received deals for being here, and it’s beyond likely that he lied when he said regardless of draft status his plan is to play a full season at Kentucky next year.
