If the team was unhappy with Cockburn coming months ago, how the hell would they be okay with Sharpe coming 2 weeks "allegedly" before the season starts?? Just doesnt add up.
Cats adding the #1 Freshman in 2 weeks?
- Thread starter ScottGreene22
- Start date
Hope he enrolls and plays now. Championships are hard to come by. I’m impatient and greedy.
right. makes that whole “cal didn’t take kofi for the sake of oscar” narrative a little awkward.
I was waiting on you! But it was on the 2nd page, quickly headed to a 9 pager. I had to take it. Sorry man
AFAIK, there have only been two players that joined the team and never played a game. Kanter who was not allowed to, and some kid whose name I can't even remember that was signed by Gillispie and he never got in a single minute.
Midterms at UK are in 3 days, it would be impossible to enroll this semester for him?
This was a week ago. I dont think anything has changed.
“He wants to be challenged, he wants to get better,” a source told KSR’s Jack Pilgrim. “The truth is, he’s definitely playing in 2022-23 (at Kentucky). It has nothing to do with the NBA, it has everything to do with his individual development.”
That same source added that Sharpe “is not eligible” for the 2022 draft because he won’t be a full year removed from graduating.

Cal could definitely play 4 guard lineups and platoon. Evidently Jones said Sharpe called CAL and said his handlers have learned he can enroll now and go in the draft next year. What is CAL suppose to say nah don’t want you. He has to take him or lose him to another school or G league etc. If CAL wasn’t in a drought he probably lets him walk but he has to have a good season because the Natives are restless.
Bagley took a whole senior year in like 9 hours so it's possible
I don’t know what you guys are sweating we prob get Wagner to reclass if Sharpe leaves, it’s the world we live in these days.
Duren looks overrated to me.
i think hes overrated as a pro prospect. but he looks like a kid that could be a beast as a college freshman. it’s just…is he gonna play to his strengths and be a beast? or is he gonna try to float on the perimeter to impress the scouts?
I just don't think he's elite at anything.
Maybe. They tend to give those type of big guys a lot of slack and still take them. He will dominate that little conference too, so he will look all world probably.
If he was to play this season then go in the 2022 draft if he's a top 3 pick it can only help Cal in recruiting. That's not bad plus we have him this season.
The bad we lose out on winning it next year and he's only playing on a sweet 16 team this season. If he plays maybe a final 4. But you don't win 9 games and come back and win championships.

2013: UK loses in the first round of the NIT
2014:UK NCAA runner up
We have a completely different team. It's not like we went 9-16 and brought back all the kids that weren't producing.
We have talent and experience. Sharpe would give us that ELITE talent we're lacking. I think we're good enough to make a run without him. We're the favorites with him.
There are some that have.
I remember John wall being talked about as being eligible for draft out of highschool. Glad he didn't do that

If he does come in two weeks play him. You're adding a stud to this really good roster. It makes us one of the favorites. Win nine this year. Worry about next year when it gets here.
I mean he either is and we should be estatic he gets to play this year, or he isn’t and we get him for two years. Worst case would be come early and never play. So I’m down to see him play at least one year. He a talent that could take us to the top this year too.
As of now I’d rather have him this year.
Things could change but as of right now it looks like we’ll be stronger in the post this year than next year. So put your best possible guard package with your best possible post package and swing for the fences.

Of course you can, especially with this much roster turnover. It's not the norm because elite programs don't have many losing seasons, but last years record is irrelevant.
Exactly... We always look to the next season. Titles are so hard to win and if he helps get one this season you take it.
Who knows what will happen before next season
Fine with this. I think it knocks Allen out of PT and CJs minutes down tho. Win #9 and then worry about #10 next year 
Cal loves it. Sharpe will get to work out with the team, learn the system before playing next year. Just like Oscar did this year.
After the dust settles, Wheeler, Washington, Sharpe, Hopkins and Oscar, assuming Hopkins is as good right now as advertised. Grady will play a lot of back-up at the 2 and 3 spots and Brooks will do the same at the 4 and 5, assuming he doesn't beat out Hopkins for the entire season as the 4 starter. This, of course, is contingent on the assumption that Sharpe plays this entire season. Just my gut feeling.

Yep, tomorrow is never promised. I say let's give us as great a chance to win a title this year as possible. Come on down Sharpe!

If that's what happens then of course he would like it. If the kid plays one semester and bolts then I'm sure he does not. That comment was based on that scenario since it was being discussed.
If this does happen, Allen likely loses his minutes. Who else?
Is Sharpe a PG or SG? Or both? Could he play the 3?

I think this might set a dangerous precedent. TWO daffys for the same player.
Let's get him warming up in the bullpen just in case.....

Many guys would lose minutes, he's too damn good to ride the bench...hopefully it doesn't come to fruition and ruin team chemistry.
