JQ out for Tennessee Game
- Thread starter TheResistance
- Start date
Nobody I mean absolutely nobody predicted any of this.
If I said I were surprised I would be lying
oh well yeah i just assumed he was
Wasn’t sure whether he would play the rest of the year so not shocked.
I expected more from Pope regarding this nonsense.
Roll with MM, AJ.
When defense, depth, and blows are needed, go with BG and Mo
JQ is beginning to be a distraction
Hope he heals, but this becomes well……

A real sports reporter would ask JQ and Pope straight up if JQ was shutting it down for the season or not...
This is the 21st century. Player do not play with minor injuries.
Toughness is a thing of the past.

why doesn't Alan Cutler do something like that? he has "no filter", right? where you at CutMan?
If you don't play, you shouldn't get NIL. Injury or not.
Kentucky sports media is filled with a bunch of company men.
I actually miss Jerry Tipton. At least he had balls.
Who cares. He cant make a free throw or be in there at the end.
He's getting cucked just like Calipari did with Slim Shady Sharpe.
Both moves make the coaches look weak, not that Mickey Mouse Club Mark Pope needed much help with that.
Yes! Good point! Who would want his top five shot blocking defensive efficiency rating from last year?
Good call, nitro!
Jerry gets a bad rap
He always said most other sports reporters were more interested in being "boosters" than in being "journalists". And he was 100% correct.
Swollen knees suck. There is nearly zero mobility.
What is hurt? Leg or pride? He had some pretty vocal critics after his last game.
Signing players that are injured already and paying them NIL money at the level we are hearing is equivalent to takin that money and going to the nearest crap table at a casino and hoping you hit it big.
Risk vs reward? I support the young man knowing what this surgery can do to a player and having swollen knees months after being cleared, but his NIL should have been constructed to number of games played or something to that effect.

how do you think we got him to come here?
We need JQ to have any legit march chance. At the same time it seems like he is gonna watch until he determines whether we are going to be competitive or not. Saturday is a mammoth game. We win and we will probably get to 5-2 in sec. Lose and I think the ole miss (who is better than Missouri) and Texas become very difficult home games, that’s how the mentality of the team works.
Paying 3.2 million for an injured player to play 1/3 of the season…so f’n stupid! That’s the only way Pope can get talent. Entire men’s basketball program needs a flush and redo
He hasn’t played a third of the season and won’t. He’s played three games am I right?
That is my point. Why would you just hand out NIL money to a player that is already injured without some sort of protection in just his case?
Like I said, it is like going to a crap table hoping you get something in return.
Is this method of recruiting worth the risk versus reward?
I assumed so as well. Geesus what a cluster. I mean, I get it, don't ruin his health even trying to get on the floor to perform if you're injured. It's like Sir Charles said, your're either injured or you're HURT.
He's hurting with swelling, I get it. We're out Lowe PERMANENTLY and Q will be a game to game decision. Probably less of for awhile longer until hopefully he can play a full game. IF we even get that this entire season.
This happening TWO seasons in a row, and things not looking better for a potential year three ?!?!?!
This is not what was advertised and promised and it has backfired in the total OPPOSITE direction of where it should be going.
It's unacceptable. People should be falling on their swords at the University. Barney first and foremost. PLEASE.
this is unacceptable to allow to ever have happened in the first place.
- runt's mini rant #12,598 over ....
This season needs to be salvaged however possible. Play your best ball of the season and goto Knoxville and win.
Just win, however possible. Whatever it takes.
That is all.
Go Big Blue Dammit

He's SS2.0, he only played because he wanted to prove to NBA that the ACL wasn't an issue, but then he got exposed as not being a very good player and that's why he's not playing. He played very cautiously when he was in there, in such a way to minimize exposure.
I'm fine with him not playing at this point. Less seems to be more with this group.
He looked explosive against St. John’s. Games following not so much. I don’t think he decided to dog it. I think the swelling is bothering him.
Maybe a new strength & conditioning coach could help with our injury history. We may have the best and just being unlucky but it could be looked into. Just hoping for a better outcome next year.
If he’s truly injured he should not play.
If he’s not then the questions are justified.
