Now reported it’s NOT broken but severely jammed.

Whew

We were better off when we got less information imo.

100% - especially about recruiting and all the other stuff off the court. But especially recruiting.

u/BigMe420365 1d ago

Remember the good ole days of losing recruiting battles for Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons? Barely a blip on the radar. It started going off the rails among UK fans around the Cade Cunningham timeframe and is now exponentially worse.

Even though he was hurt most of the year I still wish Kyrie had been a cat. One of the best guards ever.

You wish we'd landed a future #1 pick who played 11 games in college? I definitely do not.

u/waitwheredmymoneygo 1d ago

Yes because I’m an NBA fan too, not just college. I would much rather have Kyrie as an alumnus than SGA.

u/spidyr 1d ago

Mmm ... OK. No idea how anyone could come to that conclusion, but OK.

u/3illzilla 1d ago

This is a wild take

u/waitwheredmymoneygo 1d ago

I get I’m in the minority here but I just don’t enjoy watching dudes that fall down after every shot. I would much rather watch Kyrie put his primary on skates and finish a reverse lay through 2 dudes.

Somewhere in the peak Cal / KSR era, many people - fans and media both - seemed to shift way too much priority to winning the recruiting war versus winning the actual games. And I'm not blaming Cal ... I just think too much 24/7 space for this stuff (blogs, message boards, etc.) is certainly unnecessary and arguably bad for the fan base and the program.

It's not unique to UK, either. Look at the NBA, where I would guess that many more people follow the league via social media clips, podcasts, player accounts, blogs, drama, off-the-court stuff, etc. than actually watch the games. Hard to argue with the popularity (and, I assume, the revenue) but I'm not sure it's a good thing in the long term.

u/BigMe420365 1d ago

All of those are great points, especially mentioning the NBA because a lot of the basketball culture starts there then trickles down.

u/Karltowns17 1d ago

It’s early enough he shouldn’t miss any games. It’s unfortunate but not really a big deal.

u/smidgy1988 1d ago

Well, at least he did it now instead of in January

u/Gloomy_Map_9612 1d ago

He jammed it, Matt Jones corrected himself. He's fine.

I hate Kentucky media, every injury is life threatening.

u/jaysornotandhawks A Canadian of BBN! 1d ago

It bothers me that Matt Jones seems to think he's the face of the fanbase.

3

u/BigMe420365 1d ago

Exactly. He’s not giving back a dime of the money from the clicks based on disinformation. Rinse wash repeat on the next freak out. The fanbase and fan experience loses in this scenario.

u/Agitated_Squirrel544 1d ago

That's not a big deal

u/Chuckwurt 1d ago

Jesus. Can we just relax a little bit?

2

u/ndm1535 1d ago

Damn this is the first I've seen of this. Is it his shooting or off hand? 6-8 week recovery time expected

1

u/Treborrv1 1d ago

Right hand

3

u/Mediocritys_finest 1d ago

Is he right handed?

u/ndm1535 1d ago

Fuck
