Not shocking, hope he gets back soon
JQ OUT vs OU

I wish Pope would just have the guts to say that JQ's overbearing dad is shutting it down for the season. This charade is an insult to the collective intelligence of BBN.
Plus, every game that Pope does this, it makes him look like a cuck just like it did for Calipari when Sharpe sat out.

He is never playing another game for UK.
He's not coming off the bench again this yr!
I hope they stop posting or “tweeting” this before every game, it’s embarrassing and pretty pointless.
Every parent on this board would be the same way with their kid. To say otherwise you're lying. He's obviously hurt.
Every parent would come out and say their son is not being used correctly?
Why haven’t they then?
He has swelling in his knee which is common in his recovery from acl surgery. That isn’t the same as being hurt.
Where are the idiots telling us to eat crow? Again, I ask
Because some parents have bigger balls then others? Or some parents don't want to put there 'Big a.ss kid' in an awkward place, with the bulls.hit.

Man, I just thought he would have the sack to try and play. What NBA team is going to take him as a lottery pick?
It's almost counterproductive to the team to try and work him back into the rotation.
For UK to be it's best in March, guys like Garrison and Jelavic need more minutes not less.
Coming back for any particular game wouldn't mean JQ is back for the rest of the season.
Since you can't trust his availability, its probably best that he just stays on the bench.

Yeah I know 2 games after he played i knew he was done then pope come out talking BS 2 games after IU.
Mr. Fake It Until You Make It is out again? Oh no, the big tall dude that sucks at BB is out again, what will UK do without his 2 pts 5 rbs and 1.5 blks?
Dude’s entire college highlight reel consists of 2 put back dunks, 3 blocks, and a desperation brick off the glass that happened to go in, that’s looped 3-4x to extend it out to a minute of footage

Nope instead we'll just give him state of the art medical care and medical attention, along with nice nil, and get nothing in return.
What a deal!
Wouldn't it be best to assume he is not going to be playing and just announce that he is playing.
He will have swelling after any physical activity for the rest of his life. My son had the same injury/surgery but you know what? He has kept right on playing through the pain and swelling. He just ices it and takes ibuprofen. And my son doesn’t get NIL either (except from me
)That's honestly the only reason I have thought he would try to play again...to prove he isn't damaged goods.
I enjoy these threads every week though. It's pretty funny seeing the same comments every single time.

I get that it's frustrating that he hasn't turned out to be what all Cats fans were hoping.
However, ignoring his freshman season with numerous highlights demonstrating his crazy strength/athleticism doesn't really help your argument...it just makes it look like someone venting irrationally.
He doesn’t want to get further embarrassed by their legit front line by coming back after a long layoff in that game. They will eat him up IMHO.
He is making the most NIL money per production than any other big in the nation.
He may not be that same player anymore. He can’t even stay in the floor. He may be worse shooting the ball now than he was a year ago.
Latest NBA draft projected 13th. If he isn’t close to 100% (and he certainly wasn’t the last we saw him play) — it’s in his best interest and Pope’s to shut it down.
I agree that is certainly possible. I was just stating those weren't his only college highlights...
Maybe his point was more like yours, but that isn't what he said, and from that particular poster, his view is so negatively skewed, I was just assuming he was intentionally leaving out the details of JQ's freshman season to try to make his point.
Again, if JQ has lost some explosiveness, it certainly didn't look like it against St. Johns. So again, I am surprised he doesn't want to PROVE that to NBA scouts by playing b/c he could be costing himself a TON of money.
We need to make a series of post copying the OP and then just edit each one with the next opponent and cover all our bases and just move on. Done, problem fixed.
I just hope the kid has direct deposit so he doesn't have to walk on all the snow an dice going to the bank.
