“What’s up, BBN?” Sharpe said. “It’s Shaedon Sharpe here in Lexington. Super pumped to get it started. Let’s go ‘Cats.”

Sharpe signed with Kentucky in November and announced he’d enroll at Kentucky this month. He’s the No. 1 overall recruit from the Class of 2022, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. While he’s not expected to play this year, he could be a big part of the future for John Calipari’s group.

Shaedon Sharpe starts practicing with Kentucky

After Kentucky’s blowout victory over High Point last week, Calipari said Sharpe wasn’t on campus yet. However, now that he’s in Lexington, the plan is to get him in shape before making a final decision on whether or not he’ll play this year.

For now, it doesn’t sound likely that he’ll see the court.

“We haven’t talked about (him playing), the family hasn’t talked about it,” Calipari said. “My guess would be, he’s fine. Let’s get him in shape and go from there. There was never a plan to play him. I left that out there so everybody would panic, but there has never been a plan to play him. But, let’s get him here and work him out, see how things are, and see how our team is.”

However, if Sharpe does play, his mentor and coach Dwayne Washington told Kentucky Sports Radio he’ll be ready.

“His mindset is just to go there and get ready,” Washington said. “If Coach (Cal) says, ‘I need you to play,’ he’s going to play. He’s not going out there to play, he’s going out there to practice, but that can change at any moment.”
