I believe her too. He‘ll be a 4 year player so he can earn his degree and make her proud.
You do understand that it can be deliberate deception, but the objective doesn’t necessarily have to be “screwing over fans,” right?
To answer your last question, it benefits Cal in his personal quest to “end generational poverty” or whatever. He gets to brag about putting another kid in league. “And hey, this kid didn’t even have to play for me!”
I’m not begrudging him for taking a chance. I’m not begrudging Sharpe for taking this route knowing he’ll never play here. (Both statements made under assumption they didn’t know at the time, which is possible but hard to believe)
However, it sounds like this has been known for a while and not a peep was mentioned until know. *If* that ends up being true, it’s natural to ask why. If the truth is that literally no one—including Cal— knew his draft status until yesterday, then fine. It’s just hard to believe that’s the case.
This isn’t like Enes Kanter where everyone including Cal was waiting on an NCAA ruling. It’ll be a situation where the consensus #1 player practiced and sat on the bench while the coach hemmed and hawed about when he’ll play, yet knew that he likely never would but wouldn’t say it.
lol 32 pages.
People are really sick and tired of this shyt.

Sharpe is a top 10 draft choice. Cal doesn’t need to help him get to the nba and would get little to no credit for doing so.
And again, per Tom Leach on his show this am, the nba eligibility decision is still in question. Sharpe would still have to request a waiver. Has he done that?
LOL, Cal has been taking credit for all the lottety picks and first round picks every year since he got here. Have you been living under a freaking rock?
In Cal's mind, he got Wall and Davis to the NBA. Whether he uses that for recruiting or not, doesn’t matter, he still says it.
99% of the guys that went 1st round out of UK, were going 1st round no matter where they went to school, but Cal acts like he's the one that got them there.
The kids that need his help are the ones that are always glued to the bench cheering on his 5* kids.
Pretty simple, make the fanbase believe all his intentions were good, make that Porsche dealer believe he was staying and make the BBN think we had the #1 pick playing alongside a bunch of other bigtime players.
I hope a bunch of fans didn't re-up their season tickets with the thought that they were going to witness Sharpe play in person.
That Porsche dealer may not want to do NIL deals for actual UK players next time. That’s not good.
You’re taking all of this pretty hard. You may need grief counseling because you’re spinning out again.
You love to say over and over that you don’t want Cal fired. For starters that’s obviously bullshit and you don’t have the balls to admit it. But that’s ok. I gave you advice a while back to follow a different team and I think you should do it. You’re just miserable. You would argue with a fence post.
If you honestly think that people would give their last dollar to watch UK play and go without food and all that then you’re delusional. So I’m gonna assume you meant that hyperbolically.
If you want to give Cal the benefit of the doubt, there could have been enough uncertainty about Sharpe's future plans to take a chance on bringing him to UK halfway through this season. But if if Cal knew all along that Sharpe would be eligible for next year's draft, and it's hard to believe he didn't, it was a risky move to say the least. Cal's ego needing another top recruit had to play a role in his decision making here. Even if Sharpe plays some this season, it was a risk Cal should not have taken. Cal had to know it was a longshot Sharpe would play at most a month or so, and most likely not at all. Why do this to the team you have, and the fans? EGO.
Pushing aside all the melodrama, your point about NIL is what’s really glaring with this whole situation. I suspect that NIL deals come with some sort of legal document or contract. You and I don’t know the language of said contract, but I imagine going forward at least that these deals will be contingent on the athletes participation on the floor.
First things first, sharpe hasn’t burned anyone……yet. But if he bolts without playing here at all it’s the porche dealership that gets burned the most. I suspect he will play at some point this year to try and salvage that business relationship and get his cash without much fuss.
Yeah I'd suspect at some point moving forward they would have to change the NIL rules if they don't explicitly state that the players must play.
The kicker is if he ends up on the court either this year or next, then this has really become 32 pages of absolutely nothing.
I'm honestly shocked people still think he will play next season.To me the only question is will he play this season because IMO that's the only way we see him play for UK.
All in all every D1 team would’ve taken him regardless. You don’t pass up a guy like him. Will be a shame not to see him play in college.
I wonder if anything got accomplished in this thread?
Can’t wait for the real decision to be made.

The ringleader of the 'bread and circuses' crowd. Keep your head in the sand, don't worry be happy. The rest of the adults will discuss the future of the program under Shady Cal.
Ole Low Country gonna have arthritis as much as he’s on a tear. Might be better if you go to Cals house and tell him all this yourself. My lawd 😂😂😂😂😂
If that happens, look for him to slightly 'tweak' his ankle and then sit out the rest of the season and then bolt for the NBA next year "after prayerful consideration and discussing with my family, I've got to do what's best for all of us snif snif but I love BBN bye all (lolz)"
Shady Cal? List out why you think he’s shady. There that should keep you busy enough for me to read other threads in peace without your maniacal ramblings
I agree. If he plays I think it's more likely this season than next.
I think people are just holding onto the fact that Sharpe's camp has always said they were here for next year. I guess there's nothing wrong with trusting them. I don't think it's going to happen but I get it.
Yeah if Cal got snowed, he's clearly not competent on the recruiting trail. He gets paid to get results, not to play games with recruits and give out hugs on draft night.
My gosh, I wonder what the NBA will do. Top ranked recruit, top 10 draft pick virtually guaranteed. Wonder if they'll tell him to go back to school. Hmmmm.....
You can bring them up one million more times. They don’t speak to it or they justify it.
Idk same as you don’t know. Once the kid decides then you can go crazy til then I’m gonna enjoy the season and not worry about this til seasons over. Have fun driving yourself nuts.
Then go away. Start your own thread about something uninteresting.
No...lol Allen would not start on that Richmond or Notre Dame team. He was rumored to be heading to NKU but he wasn't going to be starting for them either.
Boston is a 5 star with massive upside. Allen was never going to get the leash Boston got and that will happen for anything in life for those two as far as basketball goes.
I don’t get it. Because it’s just not rational nor realistic. No one on this board would take any chances if millions of dollars were at stake.
Sure, I'll get right back to you on that. Hold your breath, I live to do busywork for internet badasses like yourself.
Well obviously it is on your mind because why else are you posting in this thread?It's funny when people post in a thread about it saying they don't care.
Did I say I don’t care? I said I’m not gonna worry about til the time comes dipshit. Read before you go make shit up.
This isn't the case. The Porsche dealer also isn't a Kentucky fan.
Also Sharpe wasn't brought in for Cal to be deceptive. That's conspiracy level stuff. He was brought in with the expectation that he could upgrade his body and be ready for next season and possibly contribute at some point if he could catch up with his teammates. Also Sharpe's family is still insisting that he will be back next season.
