Pilgrim expects Sharpe to be next UK commit
- Thread starter RunninRichie
- Start date
Pilgrim also seemed certain Kofi was coming here.So I'll wait and see.
Tucker is being awfully suggestive about it too. Wonder if something pops soon. The crystal balls started a week or so ago, so it seems like people are hearing something.
Then add in Dereck Lively, Jaden Bradley & Chris Livingston. That's national championship talent.
I would welcome another Monk clone in a heartbeat.
You know, I suspect that’s what we all will do.
"In attack mode all game long" is what you always see from the very best.
He might have been wrong about Kofi but UK has been working on Sharpe a long time. Would love to see him commit sooner than later.
The difference here, though, is strong mutual interest from both parties. The feeling is that Kofi would’ve came here had Cal made a push for him.
I really like this kid. Not just an athlete, seems to have a lot of skill to his game.
Solid build too, especially for his age.
Usually those super long, crazy athletic kids are built like monk. Or they're built like Poythress and haven't developed their skill set yet.
Rare combo to get it all in one package at age 17. And he's just scratching the surface. I love getting guys who make giant leaps like he has.
Sharpe took his first official visit to Kentucky in June, and, so far, that’s the only such trip he’s taken in his recruitment. He took an unofficial visit to Arizona, where he plays his high school ball, later that month. Even before the Kentucky trip, there was considerable talk in recruiting circles that the Wildcats would be the team to beat for Sharpe’s commitment.

You know what they say about a dude with big hands????? Big gloves.
I think if we put the right pieces around him he can lead us to a FF/title. I really believe he’s THAT good of a talent. He’s Monk on steroids. He’s also a much more consistent shooter and not streaky.
We’ve been in a really good spot with this kid for awhile. I’ve always thought he just feels like a Kentucky guy. Always have thought we are getting him.
The biggest thing with Sharpe that is positive is that Cal took his recruitment personally after the offer. He's been on him that long. Throw in the positives their camp spoke on SGA's development and respect they had for Kentucky ignoring the hype (Quade Green) and moving to play the better player and letting him showcase his talent-SGA is about to become $$$$$$GA with next contract.
The way recruiting is trending, it seems like we're in good shape with a guy like him at virtually every spot.
If the NIL can kill some of that G League momentum and our targets actually play college basketball, plus maybe keep a player or two and add a transfer for experience and depth, we're gonna be a title favorite.
Long way to go, but we're taking the steps to get there.
I would live for UK to get Cason Wallace to go with Sharpe....think those two would be something special
The way he's been playing it's hard to imagine Cal not offering now.
Sure hope so...they are saying Tenn is hie leader, for whatever that is worth. Sure would hate to see him go there
What I like about Sharpe is that he has the skill set to do everything well. Beautiful perimeter shot, score inside the lane, score in transition, play sound defense, rebound a little. Perfect for Calipari's approach to basketball. Would like to see him commit to us.
Our track record with Canadian guards is pretty good under Cal.
This kid may be better than either Murray or SGA. And that’s saying something.

What do Murray's and SGA's careers have to do with Sharpe's? Calipari has a good track record with guards from everywhere.
Just talking about those three being from Canada is all.
Why do you have to attack me every time I post something?
