Vanderbilt NOT attending NBA combine
- Thread starter JFCats22
- Start date
Good. Seemed odd he would attend with an injury. Getting surgery and healing seems a lot more important.
We may get him back for surgery and a long convalescence followed by an abbreviated season on the court next season.
I would rather him go than go through that crap.
Too bad your opinion means less than nothing.

Yeah it’d be so much for you to go through. Having a player go through months of rehab and work to get back and play for free is almost too much on a fan, I agree.
If he does leave, I'm sure you'll find something else to whine about.
Please stop letting him hijack every thread. There's a reason he's had countless screen names and won't tell us who he used to be.
I hope he comes back and stays healthy the full season.
I wish I could have played for tuition room and board when I was in school and maybe I could have not have had to work 20 hours per week and bypassed those student loans.
Vanderbilt isn’t and never was going anywhere except back to UK.
Vanderbilt coming back would definitely be huge. I hope he can stay healthy . That has to be pretty frustrating at this point
Your making too much since for all of the NBA fans on here.
I’ll also add that players receive a stipend, the best coaching, great workout facilities, great medical care and trainers, and the exposure to show off their talents.
He has been promised a 1st or early 2nd round pick and hes gone for sure, or NBA teams have told him they arent drafting him until they see him have a healthy season and is back. I think its truly 50/50 with this news.
lol. And your whining about him whining while I am now whining about you whining. Apparently, we are all a bunch of whiners.
Remember you are dealing with “big joe”. You don’t want to mess with “big joe”.
I only know of 1 Big Joe, and that was my Grandfather who lived until a month before his 100th birthday. This fake Big Joe will never be that high quality of a man.
KU fan here. Always Identify so not labeled a troll.
I sincerely hope the young man has a full recovery and comes back to UK. Anyone who wishes I’ll for a kid is not a fan, they are an a##hole.
It’s shitty luck for a guy with his upside to be hampered by injuries.
IMHO he should do what the doctors ask, then return to UK, play as much as the medical staff allow, THEN make a decision.
Who even KNOWS how good this guy could be were he injury free?
I wish him the best. He, like most UK kids, seems like a good fella.

Yeah it’s nice, but the entitlement of people because they happen to root for a college sports team is nauseating and an embarrassing mark on our fan base for those who aren’t selfish a-holes.
that's just what we get if he wanted to play next season he would have already had his surgery not getting my hopes up
If the injury is so bad that he can't go through some drills, when is he getting the surgery? When will he be ready?
Call me crazy, but if I were a GM of a basketball organization anywhere in the world, I would never cut a check for a player coming in fresh off another injury.
I really want to see what JV can do injury free. Not only physically healthy but mentally as well. All these injuries have had to change his mind set when he finally makes it on to the court.
It’s a shame for the guy that he hasn’t been able to display all the talent that he possesses. I know this is a bold statement, but: I truly believe that if he does get healthy and plays long enough to free his mind of any limitations, Vanderbilt would be in the upper echelon of players we have had at UK during the Cal era. I’m talking AD, Wall, Boogie level.
Fingers crossed we get to see that. Seems like a great guy. Wish the best for him.

Just goes to show you Cal only recruits players that only want to go pro. Not for the program.
If UK is going to be a big time program again like 3 years ago he must get kids like Miller/Jones/MKG/Towns guys that really like the college game.
We wonder why we have no more sell outs at Rupp.
Two of which went pro after one year. They didn't love the college game that much.
I was thinking similar which he's been given a guarantee for first round which isn't happening or he's coming back to earn the first round in a weak draft next year. He will get a ton of pt. Like weynen, he can play the 3,4, and 5. Ej 4,5 Richards 4,5, and Washington 4,5. Keldon may see some time at 4 as well
Well Cal kinda forgot how to recruit oneNdone he isn't getting those kind of players now they go to KU or Duke. JV and PJ are not one then pro players. NOBODY last year was sayin they were and they had bad years.
He hasn't forgotten anything. You are really clueless.
