TyTy should milk this sprained ankle until the end of the season and never play another minute of college ball.
This is what I’ve learned from the “true” fans that aren’t miserable people living miserable lives.
He shouldn’t risk his future. Just like Sharpe.
This is what it’s all about, going to the nba and we shouldn’t care or be upset about it.
I’ve learned all of this in the last week reading all of the threads on Sharpe.

If Cal doesn’t play him then he is just a horrible human being. He is playing with our lives. Kentucky Basketball is life and death!
Omg!! My life is over. Everything I hold dear in the world will turn to crap if Sharpe doesn’t play!!! Pant pant pant… I need my safe room away from those arrogant coping skills people….

Get real. This late in the season he could be a world beater or could disrupt the team irretrievably. Risk either way. Grow up?

If he doesn’t play against Vandy we’ll never see him in a Kentucky uniform and Cal will never hear the end of it.
My thoughts as well. Think Vandy is the final option. Hopefully the game will be a blowout and, thus, more likelihood he plays. You could MAYBE say we could extend the window to the Florida game at home on 2/12. That's still about a month or so before March Madness but my gut is still the Vandy game will tell the tale on Sharpe.

It doesn't make any sense for him to play now. Nothing at all to gain. If he never does, then this whole dressing out and going through warmups is just smoke and mirrors. If he does play some this season, then great, but I'll be surprised.

At this point, if I was 8th pick, I would not play.
He has a very small margin to go up.
But unlimited to go down (including injury).

he was always going to be a top 10 pick
how does this surprise some of you

he may want to be the #1 pick
Everyone wants to be the number 1 pick but no way he comes back because he may be the #1 pick. too much to lose. If he gets hurt he could drop significantly. The margin to mov up due to the new mocks is 6 picks. He could fall 53 picks. He will take his top 10 money and go to the league as anyone would do.

unless he lost a leg he would still be in the lottery

there is NO WAY Cal would allow him to stay next year if he's a lottery. Cal has NEVER allowed that.
depends on SS and his camp whether he stays or leaves
Cal will not pull his scholarship

guys/gals like you need to read some of what is being said and piece it together

listen more talk less

think on it

i will give you a hint in the form of a question
why did the young man give up 3-4 million to attend UK when he did not need to
Are you sure I'm the one who needs to think about it?

I can assure you the 4M or so he turned down was aggregate offers, not a single contract. I'm sure the G League, Overtime Elite and others reached out to him. Now, to your point, what benefit would he gain by rolling the dice to try to be the #1 pick next year?

I know you're being facetious....but this is the exact same question I can't get an answer from "players first fans" for either basketball or football.

If it's rationale for Sharpe to not risk injury (and let's be fair...ACL, ankles, achilles, etc..are all completely healable in today's medicine) and chance his $5M NBA salary next year....why should TyTy come back and not just opt out as well? What is the big difference?

Why did Quickley need to finish out his last year once he got established as a legit NBA draft guard? Same for Monk, Fox, etc...Why does any player need to play the entire year once they've shown all they needed to NBA teams for next draft season? Sort of like what players in minor leagues do for the MLB team is all that matters and even if you're Triple AAA team is in first place....bang you get called up and who cares how that team finishes. Can I get a legit answer to the "Players first fans"?

absolutely sure you are

you are an intelligent guy start thinking and figuring out why he turned that money down to play at UK
read some of what has been said about NIL deals

I asked basically the same question last week and was told TyTy shouldn’t play. This is from people who are supposed to be fans of this program.
When does it ever become about KY basketball again?

I'm sorry but we are just reading the tea leaves differently. The situation is as clear to me as it is to you. One will be correct, we'll see.
