Cal Quote

He has to get acclimated to our offense and defense. This game is not the end all. That comes in March and April. Or did you forget?
What? I’m not saying he sucks, I’m saying rankings and draft projections do not directly correlate to how much a player can contribute to a college team especially given barely any amount of prep time. Don’t be dishonest dude we’re having a good discussion
These are the things that get fans upset.
I just don't think this quote helps things at all.
Makes things worse imo. If Sharpe playing helps you win, why wouldn't you play. Makes zero sense.

We go from one and done to none and done boy this will sit really well with this fan base!
Sharpe was the best NBA prospect at the 2022 EYBL the deepest EYBL in decades. And this came from NBA scouts in the building. He was also lauded as the best shot creator at the event. Something we needed when TyTy went down. This quote is telling. Cal does not care about winning basketball games at kentucky.
How many of you took the time to actually watch the post game press conference?
At 10:30, Calipari says:
“It just wouldn’t be fair to the kid. I just wish we had a bunch of practice times where I had two weeks with him where I could run three or four things and have him defensively play because he’s a terrific player.”
Now in the midst of the sunshine sucking ***** fest taking place here, you all are missing a key piece of information... and that is between the lines Sharpe will likely play this season and likely in another week or two.
See for yourself

Haha
We don’t run “offense” and players know how to play competent man D by middle school.Hopkins isn’t ready either. But he’s in there.
Y’all really think he’s playing for UK 
ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Holy **** how naive are some of you

Insane cal won't even use him to help our guards improve in scrimmages.
The guy isn't playing. It is what it is. We have no margin for error if a guy gets dinged up
So what is taking place here is a quote taken out of context but at this point it’s too late and many of you are already locked in on your takes, which quite frankly are misinformed
The 3 man weave on offense heck that’s real easy to pick up.Haha
What difference does that make? Calipari is paid to win games, and his quote directly contradicts that.
Well whose fuhking fault is that?
Alright so why is he not ready? He’s been at uk for a couple weeks. Why has he not practiced with the team.
no let's wait and see him play next season in the NBA.
We now care about fairness in basketball. His handlers say if he can help the team by playing that's fine. LMAO "Hey Sharpe go in for TyTy" "Nah coach thats not fair"
Bates is contributing 11 pts and about 4 boards a game, not the greatest, not the worst. You alluded to him being a bust. I'd gladly take 11 and 4.
lol because that’s how reality works I guess. You think the coaching staff doesn’t want him ready? Lol. It’s ridiculous
Yea not worth time honestly, I’m walking my cute *** puppy
Exactly right. I'm sure Cal meant he wasn't throwing Sharpe in a game to try to win (words aimed at the complainers in this thread) when the kid clearly isn't ready to compete at this level. Our other guys have worked together for months yet some on here want a kid who was in high school a few weeks ago to come in as a team savior against what will be the #1 team in the country in a hostile environment. Yeah, that sounds real probable to me. We have a lot of great coaches on this board. I agree Cal's wording wasn't very good but I think many on here are taking him out of context on this quote.
Most of those stats are from the cupcake OOC schedule Memphis has played which sharpe does not have the luxury of because we are in conference play, but against Memphis’ toughest competition bates has sucked he went 1-6 and only played 15 minutes against Alabama, at ole miss he was 1-10 against WKU he went 2-10 and against v tech he went 2-10 this guy was ranked number one over sharpe before he reclassed, so what do u realistically think sharpe would’ve done on the road at number 2 team in the country?
W/e bro, you or the pumpers can’t give a good answer to why Sharpe hasn’t practiced with the team.
Barnhart is like Jurich. He will sink and except failure before he fires Calipari. Conclusion if we need to get rid of Cal, Barnhart will go with him. JMO
LOL, Leonard Hamilton is NOT a good coach . There is a reason he hasn’t been hired away from Florida State .
Well, we were still in the game heading into the final one+ minute so the guys were hanging tough. I think you sell our guys and how hard they play under duress a little too short. And, yes, I wanted this win big-time but I'm still proud of them under the circumstances.
