LEXINGTON — The Shaedon Sharpe saga is finally finished for Kentucky basketball.
The former No. 1-ranked recruit in the class of 2022, who enrolled at UK in January but only practiced with the Wildcats, announced Tuesday he will remain in the NBA draft, ending his college career without ever playing a game. Sharpe's camp and Kentucky coach John Calipari initially promised he was practicing last season in order to better prepare for a starring role for Kentucky next season, but he signaled that plan had possibly changed when he declared for the draft in April.
