I would take Ryan Lemond's sources over anyone at KSR, bar none!
Another Sharpe Thread- per Jones
- Thread starter HagginHall1999
- Start date
It doesn’t really, in the postgame show cal said if he’s guaranteed top 5 then he’s gone, cousins wasn’t just top 10 he was in the top 3 in most mock drafts at the time.
I don't claim any inside info, just basing thoughts on how Cal has handled highly rated draft picks in the past and the Diallo situation a few years ago(yes I know this case is different) but if Diallo had been a top 20 pick he would have been gone without ever playing.
"I agree with you Matt"
Matt also said his source was drunk at the time.
As do the posters on here with sources. It’s going to be a wait and see on Sharpe and to be honest, no one knows what the kid is going to do in the end.
That’s a lot of money but going against grown men will put you in the back of the line if you’re not careful. The second contract is what he would be proving he deserves and that will be tough if he’s not ready.
What is really eating crow? All you've done is been a big pessimistic baby crying about something based on no actual facts. Maybe you're right, maybe you're not, to me you're one big Nancy who thinks like a Nancy.
There absolutely would not be anything inconsistent or contradictory if Cal recommended Sharpe come back and play for a higher draft position. Sharpe's family is comfortable financially whereas most of the young men like Cousins and Bledsoe came from less financially secure backgrounds. Apples vs oranges here folks.
It’s all going to depend of a lot of external factors. He may very well try to test the waters too, which is. It going to be fun for any of us fans waiting to see. Teams may shuffle around picks and trades depending on what happens in said combine as well.
IF Sharpe tests the waters and does really well, and a team makes him an offer, man, I just don’t see how you turn down guaranteed money. Has a guaranteed Top Ten pick ever come back?

I understand that. But the topic of the thread is that a source is guaranteeing his return seemingly irregardless of draft position. Why would a source say that knowing that Cal himself won’t let them return for sure if they’re top 10, and typically if they’re first round?
Because the qualifier is guaranteed top 5 not just top 10 or first round that’s where you’re making your mistake and I’m guessing this source is assuming that he will not get the guarantee top 5 promise
Don't worry, there will be a wall of same thread made and major crow will be eaten! Can't wait!!! I've got a good list already lol.
I like how it says he is sharing their opinion. Even if your close who cares about an opinion? We need facts, we get enough opinions on this site daily.
And that source may assume that indeed. But if he is “top 10” guaranteed, then he’s gone because Cal will not let him stay. At least Cal’s history says he won’t let him stay. Which again, the source should know this, and it’s on draft boards everywhere that he’s top 10, so why would the source say he’s coming back 100%?
This is a pretty deep draft and I think for sharpe to break into the top 5 he’s gonna have to be the best player in the combine. Even that may not break him into top 5
Show me one. I haven’t seen anybody say he’s definitely coming back.
He didn’t say he did. Just said that he was in top three in “mock drafts”. Which he was. But yes, he was drafted 5th overall
Can we stop posting about people who are not really a member of our beloved Cats? Cal has a history of pushing kids out to the NBA who weren't projected to be drafted nearly as high as Sharpe. So, there is no need to keep posting about someone who hasn't nor never will play for UK. This is just another scam Cal is executing on UK fans. He is just another player soon to be in the NBA who Cal can claim came through the Wildcats' program.

They are saying that they hope he comes back. Can you find someone that is actually saying he is definitely coming back? Because there are people saying he is definitely leaving. And definitely no one knows anything.
You can choose not to open the post, I know that much.
I thought people would be interested to read what Jones said....simple as that.
Since there are 64 responses and 2k views I guess people did want to see it.
Continue on with your "Cal scam" rant...
LOL.That guy just said it's happening and he can't wait for the I told you so threads.
We need more @SacramentoKat betting threads! It’s makes all games so much fun.
Yes that’s common sense that’s why cal is talking about guarantees from GMs and not where someone is in a mock draft. The only ppl talking about mocks are the posters here that use them as proof positive that sharpe will never play for us
I’ll believe it when I see it. Archie Goodwin said anyone on his team who thought going pro was a fool. Declared for the draft first.
Hami swore up and down he wouldn’t leave when he arrived. Went to the combine and only came back because he didn’t like the news.
I know there’s definitely more like those but those stood out. Not to mention all the re classes in recruiting that swear up and down they aren’t re classing until they do.
I haven’t called SS anything mean and I haven’t seen too many posters do so. Really only 1 comes to mind. But taking athletes at their word just isn’t a smart bet. I tend to believe what has happened in the history of the sport with athletes in his position. And I have not seen a top 10 pick ever return to UK. And I cannot remember a top 10 pick returning for another school in the last decade.

Jones no longer has any basketball sources at all. If it's football news, he's money. But this nothing more than guesses or third hand info
I really wonder if some of you all can read sometimes.
These are the facts, I hope he changes this mindset and does it. If he gets huge NIL and goes number 1 I could see some more top 5 guys try this.
