Quaintance Pre Draft workout

He was always able to, at UK. Dude is a fraud.
When there was a change of status right at the end of the season to "maybe we'll get him back, the knee is feeling much better all of a sudden," I immediately thought that was them setting him up to go full on in pre-draft workouts. Never once did I consider he might play for UK again.
This look may end up worse than That other guy who screwed UK.
I couldn’t give two ***** about this loser, he quit his teammates and left the program hanging. He and his dad weren’t happy with how MP was employing him and that he was underperforming so he outright chose to sat out. Never care to hear about him again, good riddance.
He used Pope like a receptacle…

Plenty of recovery time since we haven't had a game in over a month.
Yeah Dude. When he is in the NBA and they list his college it needs to say Arizona State
Yes its amazing that he is good to go to
I'd have a tremendous amount of respect for Pope if he made a public comment along the lines of congratulating and supporting those who don't quit their teams.
Should be one of the most hated Wildcats of all time - Hopkins did the same thing to PC. Took the NIL and milked the injury. Really on Pope to bring him in the first place.
This is sickening. And if the rumors can be believed, any attempts to add wording to a contract to protect against this kind of thing won't get you far. I don't know what can be done unless all schools agree to stand together.
Looks like the swelling is down! Funny he’s completely fine a month after March Madness. 
Spoiler Alert: He was never injured while at UK
That’s a silly thing to say. He had ACL surgery in February 2025. He signed with us two months later.
He was definitely injured when he got here. It’s debatable how injured he was when he left.
Bunch of bennys didn't predict this. He's worse than shedeon sharpe situation by far Imo. He just gets a pass because it happened under our good ol can't do wrong Pope.
Quit bullying Pope quit calling him bad names. He's a good dude even if he embarrasses us nationally damn near every day

We all know he could have played but we all know why he didn’t. His play would do nothing but show it will not translate to the NBA. Let’s just start calling pope the fiddle. He’s so easily played.
JQ is bum. Really hate losers like that especially in sports. That’s why love and Admire boxers such as Ali, Frazier, Marvin Hagler, Alexis Arguello, Tommy Hearns, Rocky Marciano. Brought the heat every time and didn’t quit.
Amazing how the swelling issues are all gone now that it’s time to audition for NBA teams. It’s miraculous!
So Mike Miller is the jerk who convinced him not to play ?
I’ll say it and won’t feel a bit bad for it… when he eventually blows out another knee I’ll laugh.
Oral Roberts is alive and well. This is why he should have never been signed because it a take a a year to heal from ACL surgery. Pope is absolutely incapable of handling a program the magnitude of UK. He is literally worse than BCG.
My son had the same injury and they had to make a new ACL out of one of his other ligaments. He was practicing no contact 4 months after surgery and given clear no restrictions 6 months to the day of the surgery. Now I know some have said “Your son plays football, it’s different, blah, blah, blah “. That’s true, but he never came off the field, he played offense, defense, and special teams. But you know what? He was getting tackled, tackling people and getting blocked, all of which JQ didn’t face. My son is a linebacker, he may not weigh as much as JQ, but he’s much more compact, probably weighs more per square inch or however you want to compare. My son had swelling too but he never sat out. Swelling is going to happen for the rest of his life. Also, 7 months after surgery he was playing summer basketball and going to football practice both. Some would say that JQ had too much to risk financially, but my son did it for free. I say my son had more to risk because JQ still got $2mill , which is more than my son will ever make. I just don’t have much sympathy for him I guess.
Yeah. I actually respect Shandon Sharpe more than Q. We got took. We got punked. Don't want to see his name associated with Kentucky.
As much of a ***** as JQ is, Sharpe is much worse. He was never even hurt. He was just scared of hurting his draft stock. Shaedon and his little trainer Dwayne Washington are both massive bitches.
Looking *exactly like a man who very very recently had to spend three months immobilized for medical reasons.
He was also recruited by Auburn, Kansas. Ohio State, and SoCal. It was a gamble. But we weren't the only team willing to take the risk.
Or "Nowhere State", since he pretty much didn't do much at either college.
This is what I was waiting for. Knee swelling my ***! Kid is a joke. He quit because he got exposed.
I know you love to attack Pope, but you're fooling no one. JQ wasn't healing all this time, and now he's all better. The fuc-ker only wanted to play just enough to convince scouts that he was draftable, and no more. Pope's fault in this is that he didn't publicly call the kid out and tell him to piss or get off the pot. It likely would have resulted in JQ leaving the team and removing the uncetainty that other players were having with him, but by doing so Pope would have made an enormous statement to the game of basketball that you cheaters and quitters aren't welcome. Other than that, Pope has nothing to do with JQ's shenanigans.
Just like every other recruit to come thru here. I’m convinced the guys on that first team were just good people. Most of the other ones have been here only for money and to use him. It’s sad honestly.
