Thursday Headlines: Could Shaedon Sharpe play this season? Edition

It’s not likely, but Shaedon Sharpe is prepared to help Kentucky however needed, even if it means getting on the court this season.

Sharpe’s grassroots coach and mentor Dwayne Washington told KSR that Sharpe will enroll in mid-January with plans to get involved in strength and conditioning, nutrition, and practice, but he’s willing to do what is needed.

“His mindset is just to go there and get ready, “If Coach (Cal) says, “I need you to play,” he’s going to play,” Washington told KSR. “He’s not going out there to play, he’s going out there to practice, but that can change at any moment.”

The best-case scenario is one in which Sharpe isn’t needed, in which he can practice with the team and get better while providing stiff competition in practice for the players currently on the roster, while getting prepared for next season.

Having Sharpe on the roster next semester is seemingly beneficial for everyone, and you have to like his mentality of being ready at any time.
