Well that is as far from a conspiracy as anything you will read about the situation. I think he found a way to just go play pro and get Kentucky to say he was a student there.
He practiced with the team and trained with their staff at the facilities...said he got bigger and healthier and they offered him a spot if he didn't want to enter the draft...his agent I'm sure didn't want to waste time for a partial season where he'd ride the pine ...he knew he was a lottery pick and his agent wants that commision
The part I find weird about it is, why were they so tight lipped? If indeed he graduated early and joined Kentucky mid-season, why not just say so all along? Seems like it was only in the past week that that became general knowledge, after all the articles said he didn't want to answer questions about why he didn't play at UK. When was that explanation first made public? It's either a really bad PR job, or a cover story for whatever was going on at the time. It doesn't feel like a conspiracy situation, so I'm leaning toward the former.
Do you have any evidence at all that he doesn't like school or what his grades were in school or is this complete speculation?
No. Like the post said. I got nothin. Just all speculation but this very scenario has happened many times. That's why i am not buying into the Conspiracy Theories that are saying there are other reasons he didn't play at Kentucky. The kid wanted to play pro out of High School. It's pretty much the most simple answer. Today's rules prohibit that.
Some people go to college to learn. Some people go to college to get drunk and party. Some people go to college to meet chicks. Some people go to college so they can become millionaire athletes.
All he had to do was wait one year after graduating high school and apply for the draft. There was no need to join ANY college team.
So you think he knew he was never going to play for Kentucky? He just wanted to practice with them? That is belied by statements from Calipari, who said publicly that he was looking forward to Sharpe playing for Kentucky this coming season.
If he just waited and did nothing you think his draft stock would be as high as joining Kentucky? Also gave him the option to return to Kentucky next year if he decided to wait on the draft. What's the advantage for him to not join any college team as you propose?
He likely planned to go pro but his fall back option was going back to Kentucky next year if his draft stock slid or he got injured, etc. Calipari of course would say that for the chance he returns to their program the following year. He's probably happy to have #1 prospects practicing at his program.
