I think it would be different if this game was played when school was still in session.  Schools out, Sheppard is no longer a high school athlete.  He's now a college athlete with an obligation to the University of Kentucky.  His team will be playing in Canada in just over a month.  Yes it's unfortunate he's not playing, but I completely understand his decision.

All of that was on the table when he committed to play.

Yes, but if your new coaches ask you not to play and to focus on your new team......

Sorry, but a commitment is a commitment and it tells me Cal could give a hoot about HS basketball in the Commonwealth.

Today is the day we begin to finally see roster movement for Kentucky.

Oscar is said to announce  if he is staying in draft or coming back to college at 5pm today.

And for the record, in the latest mock I saw, the only UK player shown being drafted is Cason Wallace. He is projected to be a fringe lottery selection.

Bleacher Report is reporting Oscar will stay in the draft.

Gives an opportunity for someone else to play that wants to.

Why do we have to make issues out of every little thing that doesn't remotely matter?

Wishing Oscar the best. Shame they didn't make a run with him.

Yes, It's breaking on the internet that Oscar is expected to turn pro ahead of the official news from Oscar himself.
