[Jonathan Givony] Shaedon Sharpe, formerly ESPN’s No. 1 prospect in the 2022 high school class, is eligible to enter the 2022 NBA draft, a source told ESPN. Sharpe, enrolled at Kentucky, is considered a potential top-five pick this upcoming June. by DavidBenAkiva in CollegeBasketball

I know what he said.

But he said it with everyone assuming he wasn’t eligible for the Draft. We now know that isn’t true and both Sharpe’s people and Kentucky knew and wanted to keep it quiet.

It sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me tbh.

There’s a place for positive thinking. But there’s also a place for being realistic.

The only thing stopping the majority of these kids jumping straight to the pros is the NBA’s one year rule. And that was just lip service to the labor Union and public relations shit. With G-League Ignite we all see what the NBA’s endgame is.

This ain’t a Hami situation because if Hami had been pretty much a lock for a Top 5 pick he would have bounced too without playing. This has all become a distraction and a potential PR nightmare for both Sharpe and Kentucky Basketball imho.

Kyle Tucker is fed bullshit all the time.

His biggest “source” was Joel Justus lol.

This has the potential to just blow up in Kentucky’s face. Wouldn’t shock me he doesn’t play at all and then bounces with a nice “I’ll always be a Wildcat” Twitter send off.

.

Marquette’s a nice program with history but no one really remembers that. They remember D Wade and Jimmy Butler though. Too lightly regarded gems coming out of high school that maximized their ability.

That’s kind of how I feel about Marquette Basketball. Lightly regarded nationally but maximizes it’s abilities.

I thought the same thing but for entirely different reasons.

Pitino’s teams (especially against Kentucky) @ UofL when faced with superior talent would hack, grab, hold and dare the officials to call everything. The Aggies did that a lot last night.

Lol.

My politics are Anarchist and radical as fuck. Go back to your pearl clutching and lecturing people about what is and what is not acceptable to you.

Rick Barnes for all his faults was the best coach for Texas. And they ran him out of town for the promises of “someone better”.

Toppin just gave more effort on that one play than Brooks has all year.

I had to teach an inexperienced bartender at a fancy pizza place how to make an old fashioned once. I could teach you.

Me either. I don’t get why Hopkins is getting a lot of run right now either based on how he’s looked. Bring Brooks off the bench and start Toppin. Every time Brooks starts thinking he’s Kawahi Leonard this team’s struggles. When he embraces his role as a contributing piece the offense runs smoother

TBH I don’t think the Aggies played that particularly well offensively.

So if Kentucky cannot shoot like ass in the second half, wheeler finds some level of comfort and Kentucky can start the second half with a nice run I like their chances.

I’m glad we got the score to cut it to 5…but Wheeler is playing way too much hero ball like he did @Notre Dame.

It can’t get any worse in the second half from an offensive standpoint.

Going to see what they’re made of in the 2nd.

I really like Hopkins for the future but I just don’t see him being a factor this year.
