No, I just want the coach of this program to put the program that is paying him first, not behind his NBA draft boner.
I now firmly believe that Cal could put dog skat between two slices of bread, make you eat it and convince you that you like it.
Who cares how many top guys you sign IF THEY DONT PLAY FOR YOU ??? Damn dude . That's the topic .
That argument falls apart when you realize that even cal isn’t stupid enough to think he will get any type of credit for Sharpe when he gets drafted and out in the league.
Yeah, he might play, but if you're the dealership, are you going to he happy that he only played A few games at the end of this season?.I mean, they paid him over a million bucks didn’t they? If so, I hope that doesn't ruin it for future kids that actually want to play for UK.
Well yeah, but this is a message board and it is big news.
Cal says he’s not ready. Plus, some of those games include Auburn and Kansas. And they would make him look bad.
Jeez welcome to a decade ago...ever heard if NIL money? Everything's changed. The top recruits don't have to play anymore.
Are you willing to provide any actual dialogue or are you just depending on insults and ignorant rhetoric to power your already dead argument? We are having a discussion. If you are not an adult and cannot act as such there isn't any room for you to be apart of said discussion. You aren't plugged into the program...you know as much as any of us. It requires VERY LITTLE brain power to assess the situation and read between the lines. Please come back with actual discussion.
Are you running all the possibilities through your head, or just the ones that fit your agenda?
Your premise assumes facts not in evidence.
Mintz.
I told him the same thing a while ago. He didn't respond. He's an idiot.
Mintz played over 33 MPG following the 5th game of the season. He also registered over 80% of the logged minutes as the primary ball handler. He also initiated nearly every offensive possession of every close game to end the year. He already had too uch on his plate. Due to poor roster construction there wasn't anyone to turn to.
Your acting like the likely scenario is Cal took and recruited sharpe knowing 100% he wouldn’t play which is no where near the middle line of thinking for this. The middle ground would probably be like Cal took him knowing there was like an 80% chance he wouldn’t play, and if you still had that 20% chance, you take it every time if it can possibly reward you with a talent like Sharpe every playing for you.

Argument to the middle is a logical fallacy.
You forgot one: How should Cal be held accountable if Cal knowingly allowed SS to sit the bench after SS refused to play?
I don’t think any of those games would make Sharpe look bad I think he’s the type of player that steps on the court ready. We have 1 of 2 things going on here Cal is either blowing smoke up our a$$es about him not being ready. Or the Sharpe camp don’t want him playing!
One of the important questions you’re neglecting here is:
No one disbelieves this (well, some might), but do we know which game that was? Time? I can check my DVR. It just seems like this would’ve been made apparent in the game thread.
He's a grown man who's making 10M a year and has every ounceof leverage on his side. Outside of fan backlash, which I doubt he cares about or even acknowledges, you can't really punish him or hold him accountable for something that is out of his hands.
No clue. Not sure we would ever know so probably don’t matter. Maybe public flogging?
Wow you didn't even read my post.
It was the Tennessee game. Sharpe gets up to check in. Cal points him back to the bench then gives him a little nudge back to the bench while whispering something to him and they start laughing. It seemed to insinuate that at some point he would play. I don't know the actual time stamp but it was around the last group to check in and it was around 3:00 EST. I'm sure its easy to figure out the actual time frame based on when the game started. Also it was in the game thread. All you have to do is search up "Sharpe check in" in the search bar. A few people posted about it.
Be careful with this, as you’re also acknowledging that Askew was not the necessary PG all year. That’s the argument against Allen getting more run last year. That Allen isn’t a point guard. Well if we acknowledge that Askew primarily played shooting guard, that argument falls apart.
