SIAP: Aaron Bradshaw fractures foot

This injury which I would give anything for not to happen but This will make our final roster better. Our final 3 scholarships will go differently now. This mind job of Bradshaw playing and controlling the minutes at the 4 are out the door. His season has changed. If he wants to play, hes going to have to earn it now because we have a scorer at the 4. Next man up. Meet Jordan Burks.
Get Jordan Brown.
Get Antonio Reeves
Get Somto.

We are Kentucky!
You seem to be somewhat naive.
 
Just speaking to those who would still want Cal gone even if he somehow went to a final four this year. Some actually hate Cal that much. I’d much rather Cal turn things around, but things aren’t trending in the right direction.
If cal did that I would give him credit, but man this program is so far from a final four right now. This team right now doesn’t even make the tourney

That’s the best case scenario, I would be on the phone this afternoon with reeves and brown getting them back as we speak but who knows with cal

Exactly, Cal could be mind jobbing all the media, Matt Jones, Ky Fans. He could be orchestrating this whole thing. Why fly out to see Chris and Klutch early summer. How do we keep Bradshaw from going to USC? Ill tell you why. Cal and Klutch is not what it seems. Cal is not stupid. You dont bring conflict to a future business partner. The surgery was preplanned months ago. The time frame picked. They were probably agreeing on it when he flew to LA earlier in Summer.
You dont think Cal wants to bring home the Hardware this year. He has this year circled for 20 years. Hes got things up his sleeve.

Cal isn’t orchestrating anything, I like you optimism, but cal f*ucked this whole offseason and we are way past panic mode now, it’s full blown meltdown now. I know he won’t contact brown and he will drag his feet with reeves because he is to stubborn to do anything.

We will see
 
I mean I think it was already time but if Bradshaw doesn't play and we don't even get a roster to double digits, sits at 7 again with injury then it's time to pick up our pitch forks and get Cow. Tar and feather and run him out on a rail.

I don't think there's a more injured team, in any sport, since 2010.

It's almost funny at this point how badly UK has been bitten by injuries.

I'd honestly at this point just push him to not play (he's likely not gonna anyways, and IF he does, he's gonna be limited)..

And use this as an opening to whoever is left in the portal, etc. Let's get ahead of this now and not play this "will they/won't they" game. Go find his replacement, help him condition and what not, but get someone else in here for him.

Look in rhe bright side

1. This is going to be a disaster season. IMO it was always destined to not live up expectations when we basically had 7 players snd now we’re trying to fill it out…but now it’s a near guaranteed disaster
2. Surely this is last year of Cal and we can all move on which is better then stringing thjs out
 
Am I the only one that thinks this could lead to a Grant Nelson last minute (maybe even secret) visit and commit to UK.
I mean it's been said for over a week he was going to Bama, but no commitment yet.
Now there is La Familia $, AND more minutes at the 4 (even if Bradshaw does return, it will take some time to work his way up in minutes and he will be behind).
 
Perhaps I've grown overly cynical due to this repetitious drama every year. But why do I have this sneaking suspicion we are being played yet again? Not calling this young man Sharpe, but the precedent has been made by Calipari and Barhart's silence that Kentucky is the place to go if you want to use the program. There is NOTHING or NO ONE in a leadership position at Kentucky making sure that it will not happen again,

No. I like the optimism, Kentucky has no plan. The only option left is jordan brown and begging reeves to come back

That's the only way to play this. Put a flyer put that basically says unlimited minutes at the 4.
 
Why in the hell would you want Cal fired because a player gets injured? I think that is really stupid. He won't be fired over a player's injury in my opinion. I also see no proof that Klutch is dictating anything to Cal or any coach.
Because he has not constructed a team that would be acceptable for any school from its coach.. Neglecting his responsibility is cause for termination under any contract.
 
Got to get Brown and Cyril for sure now.

We are down to two guys over 6’8.

Right now, it looks like Thiero will start at the 4 and Onyenso will start at the 5. Burks backs them up. And Canada is going to have to see some minutes.
 
UK will also pay for his surgery and medical bills while getting him paid six figures to rehab.
Unless UK changed their policy sometime in the last 2-3 years, then UK pays nothing for any surgery or medical bills.

UK athletes are required to carry their own medical insurance (often they’re on their parents’ plan) to cover any medical bills.

UK only pays the premiums for secondary insurance for athletes. The secondary insurance kicks in to cover any balance left after an athlete’s primary insurance has paid. And in Bradshaw’s case, his injury is also pre-existing which means the school’s plan wouldn’t cover it. It’s all on Bradshaw or his family.

At least that’s how it was up until 2019. I’m assuming that’s still the case, but could be wrong.
 
If Cal somehow pulls this off and can get some decent depth at the 4 and 5 I won’t question him again. But there isn’t many options left, Somto is likely to commit but that’s honestly the only option. Unless Cal is secretly recruiting Nelson or Brown
