Has Cal officially entered the “don’t click on that link, grandpa!” phase of his coaching life?

Yes. Or the "I don't trust that GPS, I know where I'm going!!" phase.
Thank god Huber didnt waste any NIL cash on Sharpe- I dont want to see that MF'er anywhere near a Z400 Kubota
Love to get a comment on this from the "Is that a Harrison" guy

One thing for sure, Cal can’t talk about ‘Players First’ in public anymore… that jibberish is forever radioactive to the fan base.
Boston isn't on that list. He was disappointing but at least he didn't dip on his team. He stuck it out in our worst year ever.
Askew, Boston, and Skal seemed to be good kids and played hard, but were clearly overrated and in over their head. And Boston/Askew get even more of a benefit of the doubt from me because they played during the most bizarre, jacked-up season in history.
There's a difference between being overrated and being a headcase.
For the most part they all seem like good kids. With that being said I can’t control my bias against them
Guys like Sharpe and their 40 money grubbing handlers are all about Sharpe. I don’t blame the player. Just don’t want them anymore.
It’s a different era and we don’t need them. We can build this with a more certain foundation every year if Cal will adjust.

- Obviously it’s great that Oscar is back, but if three of your starters/crunchtime players are Wheeler, Toppin, and Oscar, I don’t think you’re winning anything of note in modern basketball. At least, not with our current playstyle and coaching philosophy.
- This is becoming untenable. Kind of an unreal situation. Using facilities, scholarship and NIL money, and taking up practice time on a kid who willingly never played because he wasn’t ready to play against Vandy and Ole Miss only for him to declare for the NBA 2 months later is a rough, rough look.
- Hagans missing from those lists.
- Fail and bail

TyTy’s agent text yesterday. Get real man. I wouldn’t give him a ride if I saw him with his Porsche out of gas on the Bluegrass Parkway.
I think the best player(s) in the portal have yet to enter the portal. I could see a few more entering after the NBA draft deadline this weekend. They still have until May 1.
Having said that, there are still good options: that Iowa State PG, Reeves, Ramey, Shannon, etc. Get two of those and you're right there.

Borzello just said sharpe was in a post grad year in high school, they’re just making up **** as they go now.
In my day, people knew one way or another if they graduated from high school. There wasn’t all this “eligibility fluidity” being forced on everybody.
ESPN getting in on the Sharpe jabs too. Headline reads “Sharpe, 0 mins at UK, to stay in the draft”.
This could be the case that the NBA sets the baseball rule into effect on. Either go strait out of High School, or stay in college for 2 years.
As NIL gets organized I’d fully expect that to happen sooner than later.

(writing down "diploma reveal parties" in my idea notebook)
I’m not sure why a certain poster whose name rhymes with Raidy Claims is beyond reproach in this Sharpe situation. I feel like a few Kobe Bryant rookie cards could have kept Sharpe here for a couple years.
As much as we're pissed about how the Sharpe situation played out, something tells me that his actual performance on the court might have been just as frustrating.
Something about him and this whole situation doesn't set well and you have to wonder if this is the type of character we'd assume would be the killer we want from our "star".

Whew. Busy morning at the office. Gonna log in to the old cats pause dot com and see what’s going on with my favorite college basketball team. Anything new, Wildcat friends?
Again- Kentucky basketball isnt for Kentucky fans.
We do. not. matter to anyone in the program.

Yaknow who are AMAZING young men, with responsible haircuts? Oscar Tshiewbe and Josh Paschal. Man, what great dudes. I don't have time to care about a dude named Shaeden with a ridiculous haircut. A kid who never even played here.
To be fair to our crack staff, if you can’t trust the powers that be at Dream City Academy then who can you trust.
Cal ain’t winning with transfers from Illinois state the same way he wasn’t winning with transfers from Davidson and creighton. He needs a team full of legit nba dudes to overcome his coaching ability.
Even if Cal was lied to about the graduation date, it still doesn't excuse the BS drama of allowing him on the team in January with no intention of playing him, especially when injuries were taking a toll.
Oh ********.
At worst they still knew he was likely to be eligible for the 2022 draft. The chances of him not being eligible seemed remote and it wasn't even a part of any discussion as to whether Sharpe would play next season. It was all about the Sharpe "Camp" promising UK that he would return next season and also feeding Kyle Tucker nonsense about the dangers of playing him this season.
Cal and UK should have recognized what was happening and avoided it. The risk of Sharpe actually playing next season somewhere else that took him in was miniscule and we lost big time recruiting opportunities in the interim.
I mean for touch sake. All of it. For touch sake about everything going on with this program.
At least a ***** scandal made sense. You could see the attempt at gaining something for the school vis a vis strippers having sex with recruits. This is dumber.

Trying to put even an ounce of this on Sharpe’s shady *** school and handlers actually, incredibly, ridiculously makes Calipari and crew look worse. Which shouldn’t be possible.
What, and not get the Rupp crowd all worked up to arrive early to see him dunk in warmups...fake out like he is entering the game?
I will always cherish those memories as a fan.
Just wait until he’s drafted. It’ll be one of the best nights in UK history.
In addition to the money pro basketball will bring Shaedon, that Dream City Academy Diploma will no doubt prove fruitful in his business pursuits as well.
I still don’t understand why Cal didn’t tell him to either play or GTFO. I guess because of Diallo, but that seemed different.
Dream City Academy sounds like a feeder school to the Cheetah Lounge.
Off topic: Went to my 2nd big time Minor League soccer match last night at Lynn Family Stadium on the scenic banks of the Ohio River. US Open match against St. Louis. Gotta say, it was awesome. Constant action. Not overproduced with berating music and advertising. Natural playing surface. Great venue. Man, was all around very refreshing for this sports ball.
Went to PKs and the Boys in Purple prevailed. Pretty dope, actually.

Since he’s from Canada, I imagine the date reads 05-10-2021 which would mean October 5th in Canadian, but May 10th here.
