My regards of Cal as a person just hit rock bottom. He blatantly lied straight to every UK fan knowing what was going on. I will never again believe anything that comes out of the man's mouth. Only thing you have in life is your dignity and Cal just lost his.
Sharpe to NBA
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
I think you're dead on. He just picked the highest profile program that would help his draft status. Never intended to play and Calipari/UK fell for it.
But, Calipari and staff should have been smart enough to figure that out.
Most definitely but he also wouldn’t have sat out the year when he could have played .
Tweet by Cal saying "DON'T BE MAD AT THE KID, BE MAD AT ME" in 5...4...3...2...1...
Difference: Oscar actually took the floor for us. He played his heart out for this team. Sharpe didn’t.
We have two options here:
1.) Calipari was in on the scheme. He knew Sharpe's plans all along and chose to go along with it, even sacrificing other recruits to get Sharpe here. If this is the case, Calipari is a slimebag and doesn't deserve anyone's trust again.
2.) Calipari didn't know. This would have required him to be completely ignorant of Sharpe's graduation date (how does this even happen?) and allowed Sharpe to willingly sit on the bench when he refused to check into a game. If this is the case, Calipari is weak and easily manipulated.
Either way, Calipari looks like **** here.
Why, Cal and staff didn't lose anything. You all freaking out over a glorified recruiting miss.
I'm sure you'll be there sniffing as usual
It's #1. Look at the twitter blasts defending Sharpe, right on time. This whole thing is coordinated.
So, you're OK with this happening every year?
Gotcha.
Cal got played. I hope this kid's belongings are sitting outside the residence hall already, GTFO.
At least we could get there this past year early to watch him warm up
Oscar played his heart out for uk and was npoy and the leader of our team. And he ACTUALLY PLAYED. So yea other than that, totally the same
We lost on the opportunity to sign a different player who would actually be on the team next season.
Lot of hot air about what all the smarter people had been trying to tell the dumber people for months now .
That’s the biggest thing to me out of this whole deal…could’ve possibly had Nick smith or another top talent.
Did a simple "I disagree with you" suffice when people were warned about this? No. We were called U6 fans, stupid, idiots, morons, trolls, you name it.
So yeah, a simple 'I told you so' will NOT suffice.
So much for the insiders and the goof balls who take people like Matt Jones seriously . Hes a professional troll . He needs suckers to listen to his every word , then repeat it .. like its factual.
Hope he flames out the way he treated UK.
F Cal for allowing it to play out this way.
F Barney for allowing Cal to treat UK this way.
F Sharpe and his handlers.

Fans are soooo short-sighted. Sure, we lose out on a superstar elite player next year, but just think what this will do for our NBA-farm-team cred on draft day THIS YEAR!
I have tears in my eyes just thinking about the announcement.....
"With the ## pick in the 2022 NBA draft....the X-city, fill-in-the-blanks select Guard Shaedon Sharpe-- from the University of Kentucky!".....followed by thunderous applause.....big hugs and kisses from Cal....and all the scintillating highlights of him sitting on the UK bench while we fought valiantly in an OT loss against a superior 15-seed.
You guys really need to get your priorities straight! The most important day on the UK men's basketball calendar is still before us.
GBB!

He sped off in his brand new whip and multi-million dollar NIL deal as soon as the plane landed after the loss to St. Peters. Never to be seen in Lexington again.
Maybe not. But there may be guys out there that aren’t even in the portal yet. Have patience.
I’m praying there is a signing tour after this. Not because I want people to berate the kid, that’s childish, but because I want to see the huge disconnect that exists between the staff/players and fans
Why would he stay?
did you not see why I saw? A coach with the NPOY and multiple veterans lose to a garbage *** St Peter’s team in the first round? I’d be out too. He’s a high draft pick that will get significantly more cash going in and he can develop better.

Yeah I think that was a big part of it for sure. Got here and we didnt really need him at the time because as hard as it is to remember now . . . we could not have been playing any better or together. Then bout the same time they found out they might have a loophole to the NBA afterall and once that happened his camp was reluctant to let him play after that. Just a confluence of bad timing.
Only thing that would have made it worse is if they wouldnt have found out about their path to early NBA till late in the year when we werent playing so well and needed him.. Can you imagine the scenario where he played a few games and was all we expected and helping THEN they find out he can go early and STOP playing right when we enter tourney time! Wow.
Cal played you. If you don’t realize that by now you aren’t very smart.
