Following weeks of speculation, John Calipari attempted to put an end to it Monday morning.
Star basketball recruit Shaedon Sharpe will not play basketball for the Kentucky Wildcats this season, the UK coach announced on social media, clearly hoping to bring a halt to the will-he-or-won’t-he fervor surrounding the 18-year-old’s presence on the team.
“After talking with Shaedon and his parents, we want to end all of the speculation by again saying that he will not play for us this season,” Calipari said on Twitter. “He is committed to bettering himself and our team in practice this year and being better prepared to lead us next season.”
