The Shaedon Sharpe announcement was the right call at the right time

The biggest remaining question surrounding this year’s Kentucky team was officially answered on Monday morning with John Calipari’s announcement that Shaedon Sharpe will not be playing for Kentucky this season. All things considered, getting this decision out in the open and, more importantly, out of the way, will benefit everyone involved.

From the very start, there were so many moving parts that went into a scenario such as Sharpe’s. Is he physically ready and conditioned enough yet to play college minutes? Should his debut be at home or on the road? Is he more likely to help or hurt the balance of this team?
