Why?
What, exactly, has it cost you or anybody you know? Has it hurt the team in any way?

I don't get it. So he rides the bench and never plays. Who cares. So some company gives him money to do nothing. So what. You're mad about literally nothing happening.
Because deceiving a company to get their money is wrong? Also, it effects the next time that company considers giving UK players a NIL deal

c’mon man, think
 
Get over yourself. Kentucky has a great tram this year. Enjoy it. Who cares if Shaedon goes to the draft. Kentucky will still be good next year. Quit being an entitled little b*tch
Small minded people make small minded comments. Think bigger. What precedent does this set for future recruits if he leaves? ''Hey, I can come to UK and not play and get some NIL cash and a new car then peace out for the draft.''
 
You DON'T recruit a player when you KNOW he has no intention of ever suiting up and playing ball. Who the hell would do that?
But how is Cal supposed to know that while recruiting him?? You think Sharpe is sitting there on his visits telling Cal he has no intention of ever playing for us??

come on, be realistic, take off the blue shades

If your employer brought someone aboard & paid him, but he never came in, never did any work & made mor $ than you, would you have the same feelings......I highly doubt it
This is a slap in the other players face, especially Oscar

Kinda don't care. Company can pay whoever they want to do whatever they want. They pay me what I ask to do the things I do. Long as they do that, I don't care what else they do with their payroll.

It's nothing to Oscar. He can't make money because of his visa, so it has zero effect on him.
 
Yep, we are all miserable and just cant stand being alive. You cracked the code. Totally not mad at whats been going on with our program since 2016.
Hated last year but we have had mostl sold to good years since 2016. But the point is we are having a great year right now and some of you freak out based on conjecture of what might happen.
 
I’m sure you all are absolutely thrilled with Sharpe being eligible for the draft. Time to bash Cal and this program in your miserable eyes. You all have been painfully quiet of late due to the team trending in the right direction. Enjoy your negative bullsh@t today and then shut the hell up as UK is gonna beat auburn on Saturday and you all will have to crawl back under your miserable rock. Get your Sharpe and Cal bashing out of the system and let the rest of us enjoy this team.
 
I am to the point that 1 and done players must go. We don't want them in college basketball. This kid has found a way to be 1/2 and done. I would much rather watch 4 year players play in college basketball than watch selfish kids play for 1 year and then go pro. They can have the NBA that league sucks. I don't like the style of play in the NBA and do not like the majority of players in the NBA. I want kids that play for the name on the front of the shirt and not players that play for the name on the back.
 
How will it make UK a laughing stock? UK didn't give Sharpe a dime. He just sits at the end of of the bench.
Seriously? All the hoopla about signing the # 1 player and knowing all along he wasn’t going to play (IF the info is correct). Yeah, that’s a laughing stock. That’s like bragging about having the highest I.Q. in a room full of Louisville fans. And yes, it did cost UK something. Ever heard of a scholarship? Tuition, books, room, board, training, recruiting expenses?

Nobody is saying anything about this year. We are POTENTIALLY losing the top prospect in the deepest HS class in the last 25 years to add to next years team. This could be a title missing piece. You get what im saying? Thats why im so mad.

cal has adjusted,look at the roster this year
 
I love this team. I love the players. I love the program. But John Vincent Calipari is one shady, slimy piece of shit. I said what I said.

I hope I do look like a numb skull!

If he doesn‘t play and bolts for the draft what will some of you look like?

Oh, I know. Poor pitiful Cal was mislead. It’s not Cal’s fault 🙄
Cal didn’t know just like Pitino didn’t know about the hookers.
Something isn’t quite right up top for you my boy
 
But how is Cal supposed to know that while recruiting him?? You think Sharpe is sitting there on his visits telling Cal he has no intention of ever playing for us??
Uh, YEP. And Cal went along with it because he would get some PR capital by 'landing a top recruit.' Cal wasn't intending on this info going public JUST YET.
 
1. Sharpe may or may not play at Kentucky next year. But the logic that if he doesn't it is somehow Calipari's fault, and that Kentucky should never have gotten involved in his recruitment is baffling and mostly just another way for people who don't like Cal to vent.

2. This time last year not one person on this board could identify Grady, Wheeler, TyTy., or Cj Fredrick (before he was hurt) as a likely Kentucky player for the 21-22 season. Oscar had just gotten on the radar. The idea that if Sharpe doesn't play Kentucky is totally sunk is ludicrous. There is much more fluidity in putting together a team than even a couple years ago, and Cal and staff have proven very adroit at it.

Hell yeah brother you cracked the code. We hate UK and Cal so much we spent hours typing out messages about why we are angry. Genius stuff here!
 
If Sharpe doesn’t play for UK at all, it will be very hard to support Cal going forward. That will be completely inexcusable as the team we would then be left with next year is likely fringe top 25. Unacceptable at UK.
Thats why I think he doesnt play this yr and comes back. An unwritten NIL agreement if you will.

You said it potentially… so why get mad until you know what happens??

I’m gonna enjoy this really fun, good team (with or without Sharpe) we have this year and not stress about the things I have no control over. Enjoy the ride and don’t stress so much OP. It’s better for your health.
 
I was wrong about that but it’s still the people who are jumping off the bridge because he is eligible for the draft. So people like you.
I’m not jumping off any bridge. IF he plays this year and contributes good. If he doesn’t and leaves Cal signed him because no one else was willing to play this game and knew what was up.
I’m just ready to get back to the name on the front of the jersey being first and foremost. Not the name on the back, the nba, or the coach.

This may be the dumbest post ever. You do realize this is a board that is supposed to consist of KY basketball fans? If your take is correct, why is he even here? Why practice? Why did Cal allow him to come?This isn’t the soup kitchen/YMCA for people waiting to hangout and train.
Anyone with this take is not a fan of this school you’ve been brainwashed.
Before he got here, players could go straight into the NBA from high school. So the top of the elite talent didn’t have to spend their time playing overseas or playing at college like they do now. Now they have no other choice.
Like I said, it’s not a Diallo situation where they have to prove themselves and fight for draft stock. Sharpe already has incredibly high draft stock. Players on the current team are fighting to up theirs and to grow as players. We don’t have a guaranteed top 10 pick on the team currently playing, let alone a guaranteed lottery pick.

Name one company upset by this.

You're getting mad about someone else's hypothetical money.
I’m not mad at all. I don’t know many of the companies giving those guys money. Porsche or KSR? Couldn’t tell ya

I just don’t like him collecting if he’s not gonna pay it back by playing. And I don’t like the fact that Cal and UK hid it. But I’m not mad, I’m gonna eat dinner, jerk off, go to bed, and wake up tomorrow just like I would if Sharpe leads us to the title.
 
How many people are wrong about this, my God it might be most the site. I knew it all along he would find a way to go pro next year.

I don’t see how any of this is Calipari’s fault, you recruit the best players simple as that. Don’t like it? Moreheads that a way
No CowboyGumBoots, you did not know it all along. No one, including draft expert Givoney, knew it all along.
You have just been waiting so long to feel validated that now is your moment and everyone should’ve seen what your insecure little self was worried MIGHT happen.

Most employees don’t have such a big difference in talent. Especially in an area where talent matters more than anything.
