Sharpe won't play. Don't delude yourself. And he SHOULD play this season for UK to get some benefit from the money and resources they've spent getting him here. He SHOULD play because he would mean the difference between what we are now, a SS team, and what we could be, a FF team.
But he won't play because his draft status is already secured, and because he doesn't want to risk injury. And because he's already sampled some of that sweet, sweet NIL money, courtesy of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the University of Kentucky's reputation.
And Cal is fine with that, because Cal cares about Draft Night more than he cares about winning.
And don't give me that nonsense about where Sharpe would find minutes. Not until you go back and look at all the players who have played who aren't as good as Sharpe seems to be.
Sharpe is the #1 recruit and now he's a myth. And Cal was riding the crest of the "I LANDED A TOP RECRUIT" wave and now the whole thing is a fraud because Sharpe won't play.
And CALIPARI KNEW that Sharpe was gone next year. He KNEW he was eligible and DELIBERATELY kept that information hidden from the public. HE LIED.
The next time he 'lands' a top recruit, the questions will be, "Is he going to play or not?" And "What did Cal know and when did he know it?"
It's time for Cal to hit the door. I no longer want him here.
