Because he needs the “likes” from the other low IQ portion of the fanbase to feed his low self esteem.

Why should the Sharpe camp be ashamed? Hell no they should be proud. They got everything they wanted and used UK like they knew what they were doing.
Cal is the one that should be ashamed, he's the one that orchestrated this and lied to us.
LOL, what? There is no NBA franchise in Kentucky, so the odds of SS buying a car from Porsche of Louisville, is very slim.
If he gets drafted by LA, do you think he's buying cars from a dealer in Louisville?
Also, didn't he get paid a million bucks too? Where did that money come from? I thought the Porsche dealer paid that out. If so, this isn't just about a leased car. Hopefully there wasn’t an understanding that SS would play in 22/23.
Were you living under a rock for the last 6 years?
You can't be this dense.
I'm sure its been mentioned but does anyone find it hilarious that they're tagline is "built on performance" when Sharpe's entire career at UK is based on him not "performing"?
Irrelevant. The compensation can not be tied to play or performance.
That's exactly what I noticed first when I saw that ad/poster.
Thing most need to keep in mind is we don't know the terms of the deal. Do we know if it was given to him (ownership) simply in exchange for the ad? Or was it loaned to him to drive while he is at UK? There are a million different options the lawyers could have negotiated with Sharpe's team. They might not have any reason to be pissed off, you know?
Either way, I will always be convinced Sharpe's "team" simply wanted to capitalize on the opportunity to get some cash, a car, publicity from UK, whatever else instead of sitting in high school for another semester. Never intended to play once the knew he was draft eligible. I doubt they care how he will be perceived by UK fans once he leaves Lexington.
I would be SHOCKED if he were given the car. I would assume it was leased to him on a short term basis. Theres no way I think Washington or Sharpe were just given these cars to keep.
I wondered about that as well. Like, does that dealer not care that he's not playing for UK? Why would you sign someone to a NIL deal and them bolt for the NBA and leave you with no exposure etc? Just seems odd.
Same. That's my point. Lots are just assuming he was handed the title and keys.
Thats my understanding at least. Louisville's doing similar stuff. I know Sydnee Curry has an NIL deal and has a loaded Dodge Charger and Malik Cunningam's NIL deal got him a loaded out Chevy Tahoe and I'm pretty sure they're all just leases for them to use while in school.
That's actually a good point Grom. Hopefully I don't get struck by lightning for agreeing with you LoL
Watch out! I come out on top every now and then. My mom always told me a dog ***** up to twice a day..
Buy here,
I still don't think it's a big deal that he didn't play this year, but only because Cal wouldn't know what to do with him. Bringing him here for Cal's benefit only, is a big deal. It's a sleazeball move.
I don't expect the Sharpe's to not take advantage of the opportunity Cal provided to them. I don't know them. I don't know why they'd commit such a fraud as if they had no moral compass or guide, but families with star sports prospects do all kinds of screwed up and illegal things to try to "get theirs."
What I don't get is
1. UK allowing him to enroll without some agreement with athletics as to him attending classes and playing next year.
2. After all of the sht they give football prospects about eligibility and class credits transferring in, how many we've lost over the years, they let this guy walk through the door with a red carpet welcome because he's a basketball star.
3. How did Barnhart allow it, unless he stayed out of it because he knew the whole farce would give him leverage on Cal contractually?
4. Where does this fit into our expectations as a university system relative to Cal being an "embassador"? Is this part of the image they want to project?
The dealer did not give Sharpe $1 million. The dealer actually never gave the car to Sharpe. The car was "given" to his handler Dwayne Washington, and then lent to Sharpe to use. The dealer pays the lease and insurance on the Porsche for the short time that the players are in college. It costs the dealer about $10K.
The NBA guys do not come to Louisville to buy cars. They have their agent or rep put in the order with the exact specs the player wants and the dealer finds it and sells it to them. The car is delivered to them. Most of the cars are customized and tricked out. The dealer makes a fortune on these players.
He has some who are out of the playoffs to Derby, but has all their agents to the Derby. As I said, the dealer hates UK sports and is a huge UL donor and supporter. But to him, UK basketball is what makes his wallet fatter.
Oh yeah. I lol'ed at that. I'm sure Sharpe does every time he sees it, too.
And it worked, he already has a net worth of half a million.
People on here questioning the ownership status of cars when it's easy to find with a license plate.
Definitely disagree that it’s no big deal he didn’t play. That in and of itself has put UK in a very bad position both PR and program wise.
Your points 1-4 are valid and questions need to be answered. The thing is Calipari had to know and he lied, that to me is dereliction of duty and above all, he needs to be told he’s not allowed to bring players in, allow them to sit, without contribution.
Seems clear to me that UK’s side leaked that meeting to send a message that they’re still in charge and “you’re under contract” for UK, not as agent of your players. Calipari has blurred the line between some sort of elite agent and college coach, but he’s only paid to do one of those things.
I wasn't speaking about the PR or anything. Just the results of the season..
Cal doesn't play mid year transfers very often, if ever, and I don't think he's mentally capable of plugging someone in who isn't beaten down and built back up(ish) by him for at least 4 more months. Ffs the guy couldn't bring Hopkins into the rotation after seeing what he was capable of doing. How would his adhd addled brain know what to do with Sharpe?
Might have melted down and curled up into the fetal position during an actual game
? Answered your own question. Nice
I have not been shocked at Cal's lack of ashamedness since the first year he came here. Seeing the way he treated people in that first year firsthand, made sure I would never be shocked again.

I think we all wish we had answers to those questions, and I don't blame Sharpe for doing what essentially any other OAD would have wanted to do.
This is entirely on Cal, and I've said this before. I think he wanted the "mojo" back of getting a star recruit so much that he was willing to accept anything, and probably hoped he'd be able to pressure Sharpe either in playing or returning, and when he realized that all was going to blow up on him, he wasn't about to kick him off the team and word get out that he isn't players first or kill any chance of future #1's coming to Kentucky (which isn't happening to date)
Now some would see that as what Cal had to do, but its not putting the program first, its putting his agenda first at the expense of the program. I still say no coach in America with Shaedon Sharpe on the bench in uniform, practicing and warming up with the team would keep him out of a game, especially when we were playing hurt players and losing games

Registering and posting on a message board pretty much devoted to discussing the decisions of teenagers is what then?
You’re not interested in continuing this, but you're the one that started the whole back-and-forth with Catfight.
That's a ***** move.
I said she should be banned and seems to be a troll. I stand by that, but I’m not interested in a back and forth keyboard fight. Call me a *****, I don’t care…I have better things to do.
But SS did get a million dollar NIL deal, where did that come from? I was under the impression it was the same Porsche dealer.
But you're the one that started the fight, shall we go back and look?
You started throwing insults at Catfight, then, when he slapped back, you bitched out. Which is fitting, he was calling you "Karen" and from where I stand, he is right.
After 9-16, the very last thing you do, is lie to the most passionate fanbase in this sport and Cal did just that.
Yep. ...cause after 14 years and over 30k posts, you suddenly became a troll... not likely
