    Man hard to believe Askew played all the minutes he wanted

    Bingo. This is more-than-likely the case. I’ve laughed for years at posters on this board saying “Cal doesn’t promise anything to anyone”. He absolutely does. That’s part of the player’s first/I can’t hide you here mantra. The promise is that the kid will play, no matter what. So if they...

    Man hard to believe Askew played all the minutes he wanted

    True, and that would make total sense if Cal came out and said “well he doesn’t know the plays just yet so he’s still a couple of weeks away”. But Cal indicated he wouldn’t be ready THIS SEASON. There’s 3 months of basketball left. Take it from someone has coached basketball, it wouldn’t take...

    Man hard to believe Askew played all the minutes he wanted

    I’m with you almost. I got Mintz at the 1 and Allen at shooting guard. Can’t do that though right? I mean Allen doesn’t have NBA “potential/aspirations”. As far as Beard goes, I saw his comments, but Askew barely gets 13 min a game for him while Cal gave him 29. So did Chris really get...

    Derek Anderson is right

    Which is what he did with Askew. We agree on this. Putting development over winning games is a terrific and accurate way to put it. I believe he’s done this with multiple players over the years and he’s done it even when to the detriment of the team. Briscoe constantly getting the nod over...

    Man hard to believe Askew played all the minutes he wanted

    For the record, I don’t think this team necessarily needs Sharpe. But I don’t understand the argument that Askew was “all we had” last season. Last season’s team featured 5 guards; Askew, Boston, Clarke, Mintz, and Allen. Is it even worth asking who “could” play PG out of that 5? Askew...

    Man hard to believe Askew played all the minutes he wanted

    I was just saying in another thread; Sharpe has basically reclassified to come to UK early. He’s the number 1 player in his class, yet Cal says he's likely not going to be ready this season. Askew reclassified and started in 20 games and averaged 29mpg. So I guess he was more ready than...

    Cal on Sharpe (insert eye roll gif)

    So Sharpe as the number 1 player in his class isn’t ready, but Askew after re-classifying was ready to start in 20+ games and avg 29min per game? Makes sense
