Sharpe on campus

Yeah and most of them would readily admit that they made a huge mistake by leaving too soon.
I get on Calipari a lot for his methods, but his system works. However, these kids have their own paths, they aren't all ready to go after 1 or two years, most take longer than that and if they just stayed the course, they would have better options at the end.
I see SGA a lot in his movement. Not lightening fast, but incredibly fluid. He’s more athletic though. He can score from anywhere. I’ve seen quite a few Zach Lavine comparisons for him.
Yep. But that’s the problem. Every kid thinks he’s unique. Those other guys didn’t have the drive and desire and work ethic that I have!
No doubt. I think most of them can't take the extreme workouts for more than a couple years. From what I hear, those practices and conditioning drills are pretty extreme. They have to be in order for these kids to transform their bodies the way they have been.
I was wondering about comparisons. Zach Lavine is incredibly athletic, is Sharpe that level of athletic ability?
I’ve seen him described as far & away the most athletic player in the class. I can’t speak to the others but Sharpe is absolutely off the charts.
just found a video of his dunks in fact. I know most highlight videos are just dunks anyway, but at least this one knows what it is

Only thing is I believe he said that before NIl became official. Depending on the kinda season he has he may make more money in college than out now
More than likely "it" will show itself if that happens.
I'm not above posting it.Mods, don't taze me bros.
Hopefully 2022 turns us back in to the "IT" school. These players just don't know that winning at Kentucky is different than winning anywhere else. We should be selling that to go along with the NIL.
Oh Lawd I want to be optimistic. You guys are making it hard on an elderly type dude.
Beat u to it.

In regards to Wheeler, you guys are trying to apply logic to the situation when logic rarely applies with 19-21 year olds.
Just because it makes sense to all of us that he returns, doesn’t mean that is what he will do.

It wouldn’t be “logic” to return if he wants to be done with college basketball and start trying to pursue a pro career. I don’t think he will ever play in the NBA but he may overseas or go pro in something other then sports.

Asking this sincerely: athleticism is great but is he a basketball player? Can he shoot at an above average clip? What kind of quicks dies he have?
He absolutely has skills to match his athleticism. He’s a legit 3-level scorer. According to this article he shot 45% from 3 in his HS season (25 PPG) and 46% in the Peach Jam (28 PPG)
He’s not John Wall fast but he moves incredibly smoothly and he seems to have a pretty good handle. He reminds me of Shai the way he kinda glides except he can put his head on the rim.
