I wasn’t sure since the first semester is over now. i believe if he transfers now the school he is going to has to have a scholarship available now or else fletcher has to agree to be a walkon until one becomes available. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's coach speak for saying a suspension - "take some time and step away from the team" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I was afraid of. That would make things tricky for SLU then since they don’t have any unused scholarships at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality Is Job 1 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) So then Cal suspends him and puts him on blast in social media! https://twitter.com/UKCoachCalipari/status/1341059803590832128 Edited December 21, 2020 by Quality Is Job 1 Embed failure.

Seem like the apology was not accepted by Cal and there is much more going on behind the scenes than what we know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettFlight5 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I think both sides were out of line to an extent. Calipari probably shouldn't go on Twitter saying that he told a freshman to step away (on top of Fletcher's behavior).

billiken_roy Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 scum cal is likely already having remorse and trying to get fletcher to run away and open up the spot asap. TJHawk likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 This doesn't sound like a suspension. Those are done in house. Fletcher got booted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlarry Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 This is crazy stuff. I’d be willing to bet Fletcher feels like he was lied to. I imagine Coach Cal told him “you will be a starter, I will make you a lottery pick.” Then he rides the pine after 3 games. I know Fletcher won’t want to burn any bridges but if that’s is actually what happened I would love for him to go public. Let future recruits know what kind of guy Coach Cal really is.

RUBillsFan Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 As you can imagine this isn't going to sit well with the bosses over at Vashon: Assuming Cam ends up leaving UK, it is hard to imagine Cal getting another Vashon player.

Nesbitt might be the best college basketball on the Memphis roster when he arrives. I think Penny realizes what he has in Nesbitt. I think he would have been better showcased at SLU and it would have been the better choice for him, but I don’t think think he is looking at a Fletcher or McKinney situation. Out of all the locals that got away in recent years, he is the one I wanted the most. Even more than Love. Not sure how you can say that when half the team was ranked about the same as him or better coming out of high school. Plus, a few articles from the beginning of the season pointed out that Penny promised the starting point guard roll to sophomore that was a four start in high school. If that guy has a good year at the point, do you think that Penny is going to take that roll away and give it to a lower ranked freshman?

Slowry Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Noticed in his apology it was directed to BBN. Wonder if Cal didn’t like that it didn’t name Kentucky? I know it said coaches and teammates. But that’s now naming Kentucky teammates fans and coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got really, really upset on the sidelines late in the game vs. UNC. He was seeing crying on the bench and a trainer put a towel over his head. Fletcher said he was not happy with his playing time.

3star_recruit Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 BBN is in such disarray that they're breaking down the last few minutes of the Kentucky/UNC game like the Zapruder film: https://kentuckysportsradio.com/basketball-2/timeline-the-late-game-downrama-with-calipari-fletcher-and-clarke/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
