Come on, man. You can't honestly believe the Wheeler situation is just untimely injuries. There's no way the mystery "minor procedure" just had to be done on when it was and that it kept him from walking out on Senior Night. No way, sir. You believe what you want, but I'm a realist and not buying that. Not after years of Cal. I'm all in on throwing the BS flag on this Wheeler situation.
This is correct! Here’s the Wheeler situation for the non-gullible…
Calipari spent WAY too much time trying to turn Savir into something he was never going to be, even losing several games because of it, and only made the obvious switch when the pressure got to great.
Wheeler obviously didn’t think his new role was justified, so after playing sparingly in his new role for a couple of games, he decided he was finished. To keep up the appearance, Calipari played the injury card to calm any suspicions.
Then came Senior Night, and it would look disingenuous of Cal/ Wheeler to go through the ceremonies, only to transfer at the season’s end, so they came up with the ridiculously timed story of the “procedure” that wasn’t serious, but had to be done, causing Wheeler to miss Senior Night.
Wheeler quit, plain and simple, but will go through the motions, to keep from distracting from the team.
Calipari has already shown, via the Sharpe circus, he’s willing to lie to cover for a player, so doing this for Wheeler is his way of controlling public opinion. Wheeler won’t play another second at UK, I can guarantee you that much!
