It sounds like ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla is jumping on the UK haters bandwagon. This type of comment, coming from an “industry professional” who will certainly have to cover UK sports and eat crow during broadcasts, is really irritating. On top of that, it adds fuel to the already rampant speculation about UK and Coach Calipari.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
With that said, I am not even sure how to read the comment he made via twitter last week.
[quote=franfraschilla]Technically, Enes Kanter won’t count as a Euro in next year’s draft but he is, basically, being rented by UK for a year.[/quote]
The comment could be construed as a harmless statement that Kentucky was lucky enough to get Enes next year as he increased his draft stock. It could also be perceived as an attack that the only reason he is attending and playing for Kentucky next year is because of payment or being incentively induced.
Either way, it’s a #$%^&* statement.
