LEXINGTON - Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari is not counting on star recruit Shaedon Sharpe to help in the second half of the 2021-22 season.
A native of Ontario, Sharpe was set to play his senior season at Dream City Christian in Arizona before he decide to graduate early and enroll at UK for the spring semester.
Sharpe's mentor, Dwayne Washington, first said there was no chance Sharpe would play this season when reports of the plan first surfaced but in more recent interviews has signaled Sharpe would be willing to play if Kentucky needs him.
