I am not joking about it. If you don't think some fans have been major pains in his backside, you must not be reading some of the recent posts.Not funny. The tailbone can be really painful. Its true and I knew as soon as I typed it, that someone would make a joke about it.
I am certain he is still covered by his parents' medical insurance, so he isn't destitute.I think had something routine and needed done , while still under a UK athletics medical plan before he doesn’t have it any longer
Jack givens said his low back a week or so ago on post game and that he was getting around better post-opI read In some news report, that he had surgery on his tailbone.
No joke, are you Wheelers dad, family etc? Because he’s been treated no differently from other players over the years that have underperformed etc.Maybe some of you Wheeler haters can post your apologies to Wheeler for calling him a quitter since the real issue is that he is recovering from surgery.
Look at Texas both Carr and hunter were in the portal and the used car salesman chose Wheeler over bothHe’s done. Should not been allowed back. Not talented enough to play here, never was. Not being critical just being honest
That's the truth and there will be some now say that it didn't happen and it was just a few bad commentsI’d have quit too after all the crap you all say. You don’t deal with that at your work and he shouldn’t either. He was a serviceable piece and the fans shit on him.
I don't care if he quit or just "opted out" of playing the rest of the season. But, he shouldn't have been on this team. I said from Day 1 he wasn't good enough to play at this level. We all have our limits.
No, but I hoped for improvement. Wheeler is the exact same player he was when he first got here. That's not good enough.
Yes!! And most knew it at the end of last year.This entire year was screwed by Cal using Wheeler as his starting PG for over the first 50% of the games . Not really SW's fault , he never shoulda been out there .
That’s great, Kentucky has a great cheerleader on scholarship. Good times.Wheeler does cheer on the team so stop lying. He was cheering them on during the Arkansas game.
He’s talking about Sharpe. He was listing players but couldn’t remember his name. Vanderbilt, Sharpe, & Wheeler.What?? There was no player by that name playing here last year.
And a yeast infection....Maybe some of you Wheeler haters can post your apologies to Wheeler for calling him a quitter since the real issue is that he is recovering from surgery.
Man....you need to button your trap.Maybe some of you Wheeler haters can post your apologies to Wheeler for calling him a quitter since the real issue is that he is recovering from surgery.
+1Man....you need to button your trap.
1. You have no idea what is going on with Wheeler....and if you're going to believe a Cal injury report for your insight.....you're level of wisdom is pretty much out of touch.
2. Putting on fans treatment of Wheeler as an excuse to quit.....your buying Cal manipulation at it's highest. Fans boo at the Kansas game for few minutes of game action as it was past time for the Bennie lineup. Wheeler went on to play multiple games with no fans booing. And then Wheeler has a mysterious injury as he transitioned to bench role vs. starting role. THe fans are booing Cal and his nonsense rotations.....but put this all at feet of fans and never place at feet of Mr manipulation.....John Calipari.
3. Then the week of Sr night....Wheeler has a "minor procedure" and can't show up for senior night.....baloney pure a simple. A big middle finger to fans and program by Cal and Wheeler. Finish what you started. Plenty of football players get drop on depth chart (Smoke at RB, Chauncey Magwood WR, etc....) and they play out the year and transfer out. And that is because we have a coach that respects the program and the fanbase whereas the basketball program is run by a guy that personifies Kyrie Irving dedication levels.
Bottome line...thsi is what 3rd year in a row we have mysterious injuries, roster management fiasco, lying to media, etc...and fans are fed up with the garbage. Fans have every right to expect players to take serious playing 1 season at Ky for a scholarship....even if the coach does not. I don't feel much sorrow for Wheeler.....I have more respect for a poor PG in Devin Askew who wasn't big time PG talent but played out his year and transferred out in a rationale manner. Instead Wheeler appears to have sulked like a child after getting benched and then quit on the team.
Quit talking out of your ass. Wheeler cheers the team on.Wheeler isn’t injured. He sits at the end of the bench and doesn’t cheer the team he is just there: it’s time to start forgets by about the most maligned player in uk history. I don’t care if he quit or not honestly. We have exactly zero q1 wins with him on the floor and a loss to a 15 seed.
He had minor surgery as well a few weeks ago. The kid never quits and we need his speed and assists.Please no comments about whether he would have helped us or not. All I know is he had an ankle injury and hasn't played since. Others with similar described injury are not out this long. Now I do read some saying he simply quit. Is that what most here think? I seem to recall a few weeks ago that Matt Jones said (and of course there are some here who don't like him and thus don't credit his inside knowledge)Wheeler might not play again for Kentucky. The inference was it wasn't about injury. Thoughts and will we see him in the NCAA tourney?
Are you saying internet criticisms aren't legitimate?JFC stop with that nonsense. Are you saying Wheeler is so thin skinned that he can’t handle internet criticisms? LOL
You can spot the bullshit when the conspiracy theories start the chat.Quit talking out of your ass. Wheeler cheers the team on.
Ha! Where are the multiple threads attacking Fredrick? Not that I want anyone to rip him to shreds too, but there has not been a player since at least Saul Smith who has been treated as badly by BBN as Wheeler. Anyone not completely obtuse or intellectually dishonest could see it. Wheeler deserves better. People here still attacking him, though he's not played in a month, are only illustrating exactly what I'm saying. The problem for many is, though they know they've gone way overboard in their attacks on Wheeler, they can't admit it's wrong and they should be apologizing and admit he deserves better. There's some truth for someone. I really don’t care what kind of jerk response I get, he should have thicker skin, he should ignore it, he shouldn't pay attention to the boos, you people know who you are. Those are the comments of bullies and abusers. He deserves better, if for nothing else, because he gave his all every time he stepped on the court. He could have gone almost anywhere but he came to UK. He deserves better than we've given him and we should be ashamed. If you didn't attack him, I'm not speaking about you.No joke, are you Wheelers dad, family etc? Because he’s been treated no differently from other players over the years that have underperformed etc.
CJ is currently taking major heat probably more than Wheeler did.
I’m not apologizing for anything. We were on the road to nit with wheeler. If not for the vocal wheeler critics he probably continues to play and we are nit bound. That’s what actual game results tell us. Wheeler is like you say about Saul. He is the most maligned player since Saul. I think more so given how polarizing cal is as a coach. Our job as fans is to have extremely high expectations if we want a successful program. Those things Cal says about not being able to hide guys or UK isn’t for everyone. Wheeler is the type of guy he’s talking about. If you can’t perform under a microscope UK isn’t for you.Ha! Where are the multiple threads attacking Fredrick?

If the shoe fits.Bullies and abusers?
Typical "beta male" response.....
My shoes fit....do your sandals?If the shoe fits.
I used to have this general outlook, and yes Wheeler played hard and gave full effort while wearing the Kentucky jersey. but personally i think how senior night played out changed my perspective. I just can’t believe that after being out for a month he suddenly needed surgery such that the only game he isn’t on the bench is a home game for senior night. If that were the case i think it is fair to say that any other player in that situation would have either talked to the press themselves, or posted something on their own social media talking about their time. We only heard this from Cal and haven’t heard from Wheeler at all since he stopped playing which is weird, if people are all speculating bull shit why not just Wheeler say something himself and get rid of the doubt. I sympathize with the fact that I’m sure it is extremely taxing mentally to lose your starting job and be relegated to a role player in the middle of your junior year, but i can also think that someone not playing and bringing that mindset around the team probably isn’t the best thing for team cohesion.Ha!

Unfortunately there was a thread blasting Cj. Title of thread was “24 percent”. The OP originally blamed CJ for 3-4 losses this season and then edited it to 3 losses last I seen.Ha!

Wait…..We have exactly zero q1 wins with him on the floor and a loss to a 15 seed.
Yeah the Wheeler thing is not elective surgery otherwise he’d have just had it in April and still had the insurance.I used to have this general outlook, and yes Wheeler played hard and gave full effort while wearing the Kentucky jersey. but personally i think how senior night played out changed my perspective. I just can’t believe that after being out for a month he suddenly needed surgery such that the only game he isn’t on the bench is a home game for senior night.

Also CJ has been playing with a cracked rib. It’s clear peoples problem with Wheeler is not effort, it is the fact that Cal played him to much and the circumstantial evidence points to the fact that he quit on the team when he got a lesser role.
I’m claiming this season we have zero quad1 wins with him and we ended last season with him leading us to a loss against a 15. You didn’t just discover plutonium as giddy as your post is. Who cares about a KU game a season and a half ago? Idc about his stats quit spouting them off. He’s a stat stuffer on assists and is a liability to the team. That has been proven. I don’t even know why you’re wasting your time trying to break apart my argument there’s no questioning it unless you’re a gen z fan and don’t care about winning.Wait…..
A) Our 80–62 victory over #5 Kansas last year wasn’t Q1?
OR
B) Wheeler’s 8 assists to 3 turnovers in that game don’t count because it was last year even though our loss to St Peter’s does count even though it was last year?
Which are you claiming?
