Jeff we have no idea what is happening here. At least that’s my point. Now if he leaves at the end of year, I will be the first to say what a total abortion him coming here was. Right before I delete my account if dude accepts my bet. Hahaha
Shaedon Sharpe eligible for the 2022 NBA draft

Look if the Canada and Payne kid are getting clock while Sharpe sat, they’re not playing him. Not sure why people can’t see that. Don’t give me the but he didn’t know the offense or wasn’t in game shape yet bs.
Nothings happening here except us winning. The rest is a bunch of drama once again started with some pea brain haters of the program flapping their gums. Nothing is set in stone on any of it, it’s just a chance for those to sink their teeth in like the snakes they are
No way in hell Sharpe plays this year. He won't risk injury.
This ENTIRE saga has been a big FRAUD.
How come Cal couldn't convince him to play or stay? Lots of other coaches are successful in that area. Cal doesn't seem to be able to land the big fish anymore.
But he is good at lying to and talking down to the fans.
You're calling others 'pea brain', but you're the one that isn't seeing what's right in front of your face.
No question he lied & it was premeditated. Do some ppl seriously believe that Cal doesn’t know whether or not a recruit is draft eligible? 😂 Every coach in the country knows EVERYTHING about every kid they recruit. And, at this level draft eligibility is kind of important. And, it’s just as bad of a look if he really didn’t know. But, he did.
It’s easy to connect the dots unless you just don’t want to. If he knew Sharpe was eligible, which he did, then he also knew that Sharpe wasn’t coming back next season. He wouldn’t let him even if Sharpe wanted to. And, they all said the plan was to practice only this season. So, how is it even a question? He obviously agreed to allow Sharpe to use UK as an NBA training camp & devote time to coaching him that should be spent on our actual players. Again, if nothing shady was happening then Sharpe’s eligibility would’ve been public knowledge & not kept a secret, instead.
He's a total jackass moron. He doesn't see that we're being fed incrementally. Every step of the way there's just enough carrot to carry us to the next step. And so on and so forth.
1. Sharpe hits campus
2. He gets a uniform
3. Leaked practice videos
4. Big announcement (probably not what they wanted) BUT DON'T WORRY HE'LL PLAY NEXT YEAR!
5. YOU ARE HERE
6. Sharpe won't play this year. It'll be some fake injury or just "not ready" from Cal or TEAM CHEMISTRY! or a 'no' vote from the team or some other bullsht
7. Next year Sharpe 'tests the waters' and after much prayer and deliberation decides he owes it to his family to take
8. Cal celebrates with big hugs on draft night and says "THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT LOL"
It's so EASY to see this stuff. It's shocking that so many fans in this thread are so dense.
When has Cal ever LET a lottery pick come back—without the threat of a lockout? Cal has said that he doesn’t think high picks should come back and risk injury.
Evidently Cal knew Sharpe was 2022 draft eligible.
Has any sportswriter given any indication of who was Givony’s original source?
Really curious to know what they’re basing this on. In the past, the NBA has refused to issue a official determination on eligibility until after someone has officially declared as an early entry player (see Thon Maker as an example). So is the draft eligibility truly a done deal, or is Givony’s source simply very confident of getting an exception based on Sharpe’s transcript?
Would really love to know what they’re basing this on, and also what was their motivation for mentioning it to Givony in the first place.
Lol. I will make the same bet with you. If he leaves after this year, I delete my account on here. If he comes back next, you delete your account. You game?
These guys work so damn hard to make excuses for the shit Cal keeps botching. At some point, they have to stop acting like Louisville fans. We all laughed at those guys for the excuses they used to put a dress on those Pitino and Jurich turds, but these idiots are just as bad.
lol. Touched a nerve?
See posts above. You guys could when any name calling, red herringand straw man competition. Oh up to 28 pages. Good work.
oh I’ve probably read more of the thread than you:
Golly, Beav, I didn't realize Sharpe ran UK basketball. Does Cal get to make ANY decisions without his permission?
Cal isn't helping Sharpe at all. Sharpe could get all the practice he wants by signing with an agent and paying somebody.
Cal is about CAL first. He uses the players to make himself look good. Didn't work too well last year so he took a flyer on Sharpe but he had a plan. Midseason hopefully we're 15-3 and he can weather the storm when the truth comes out. Exactly as he planned it. As long as we finish Sweet Sixteen Cal can claim he's BACK, BABY. Worry about next year later!
If you pay attention, and I have, you’ll notice most who don’t seem to comprehend this spend well more than half of their time in threads simply defending every single thing the guy does. It’s a psychological effect brought about by Calipari’s salesman ability. It’s not really questionable either, as some who are long, long time UK fans have said they don’t even care is he LOSES. They will support him even still. If this was a court of law there’s zero chance they would be allowed as jurors. So I fully question their ability to critically think. If you spend half of your time defending him, even when it’s not necessary, you have no credibility. Situations such as this will be impossible for you to understand.
I’ve said from day one, If someone believes Calipari is the best guy for the job given everything on the table I have zero problem with that. There are plenty of days I believe it too, and maybe he is. But that doesn’t mean he should be allowed free reign to use the UK brand any way he sees fit even when it’s totally unpopular with people that support UK. He’s the COACH of UK, he doesn’t need to be given the keys to Gods staff. This is the states team it’s not an AAU / minor league organization for Calipari to use in order to promote himself, his NBA gatekeeper vision, and 10 month players who are here to leave. That’s my real issue - what has gotten into some of the UK fan base? If Calipari was doing this anywhere else we’d by throwing the book at him and their NBA training team. And every single person here knows it regardless of what they say. Imagine Indiana doing what we’ve done with Calipari while we remained traditional? Please.
We are allowing ourselves to be too invested in a man instead of all eyes on deck of the USS Kentucky. If he’s going to be Gene Hackman, we at least need a Denzel Washington. To me, that’s going to come from fans and social media.
Hopefully that’s what happens and it balances itself out. What I want and what I think 94% of this board (fans too) want, is for UK to maintain our position. I’m just afraid we’re losing it because we’re too invested in an individual instead of the program.
Of he doesn’t play and leaves for the draft, Calipari needs to be told that if it happens again we’re firing him for cause.
Maybe the best post in this thread. Good thoughts, sir.
I thought my Hunt for Red October analogy was the best comment though? 🤷🏿
edit: meant Crimson Tide analogy

So the NBA gets to rule on getting a star player.Gee I wonder how that will go,lol.
Just one problem with that: it's actually Crimson Tide that stars Washington and Hackman.
Both great films, though!

I appreciate the correction. I have no idea why I said HFRO.
I’m just wondering why any of these long time posters who are certain he is leaving aren’t willing to bet their accounts on here on it. Strange.The Shaedonshank Redemption. This is us if Sharpe plays this season:
Who's "certain" he is leaving?
If you're referring to me, please be clear.
What the he'll do you know you thought Trump was going to win lol two years ago. Plus your homer ish is old
