I sure wish I still had my '83 Citation with the hole in the floor boards still sitting around. CJ would look just about right in that.
CJ Fredrick hasn't practiced, leg issues

Don't belittle the Chevy Citation like that....I had a 81 X-11 dark blue with gold trim and it was one of my favorite cars. Shame on you.
Being from Covington Catholic, we can only hope none of his school officials found out about this, for a number of reasons. Poor, tortured soul.
Brother, there is nothing more satisfying than 0-60 in 13 minutes! Near death experiences are also fun in such a sturdy, solid vehicle. I was living in Austin, MN temporarily for a few months right after college closing up a retail store. Didn't realize it until it was too late, but apparently I had been leaking brake fluid and was driving in a snow storm. Fortunately, the off-ramp I took was on an incline and the light at the top of it was green. I slowed down enough to be able to make the right turn and coasted into a gas station. Good times indeed!
Any reasonable sane person would have taken a vehicle with apparent mechanical issues to a reliable mechanic, apparently your college education was all for not....glad to see you accidently made it this far!
I don’t begrudge CJ leaving. Players have the right to do what they feel is in their best interest. There is, however, a right and a wrong way to transfer and CJ chose the wrong way.
And the mike drops...awesome post.
I agree completely, Hooper. If anyone knows how all of this works, it's you. Your opinion means a lot on the subject.
Christian Williams transferred out, opening the door for CJ to get the scholarship. And hope CJ’s uncle chokes on a meatball if you know what I mean.
The post was almost exactly right. However, CJ didn't play right away, he redshirted, but they did basically tell Moss he was going to sit behind CJ the next year, causing Moss to transfer to KU. Also not to be lost in this, is that CJ waited until after the first wave of transfers limiting who Iowa could go after to fill his position. I liked CJ's game and he did have the right to transfer but as another poster said, there is an adult way to do this.
CJ snuck away from Iowa in a very cowardly fashion. He acted guilty then claimed innocence. I don't feel sorry for anything that happens to him.
CJ looked Fran in the eye on a Friday and told Fran he had no intention of leaving. On the following Monday he was gone.Very chicken s—- on CJs part. I am among those who wish him no bodily harm but hope he sees very little significant action.
Who fing cares at this point in time! It's a new season and redacted is playing for an SEC team. Time to move on to this season and not dwell on the past. I'm sure as he!! don't believe the coaching staff and players are making a point of bringing this subject up every day, Why in god's name is this subject so relevant that it has to be brought up on a daily basis. He was a good player that averaged 1.5 three point goals a game during last years season and was physically unreliable to play from game to game.
I for one believe that if he didn't want to be here, it's better that he left when he did, instead of playing at a school he was not happy being at and disrupting team chemistry and looking at Kentucky's roster, it probably won't be long until he or his uncle will also be just as unhappy there.

I wish Jack well. I do not care about CJ.
I hope he never plays again and gets into some kind of scandal that jeopardizes his NIL chances. No loyalty and how things played out with the way CJ left, he and Uncle Joe are both feces in my book.
Nunge with 7 points and 4 rebounds so far. Also leads team in turnovers. Did not start. 7 minutes left.
Because, I was correcting someone stupid enough to say he did not have offers out of high school
Sounds like CJ is available tonight for UK. Doubt he’ll see many minutes with how little he’s practiced though
CJ ought to retire---he can't stay heathy. If he gets passed up by 1 and done Freshmen, that will be fitting.
CJ or maybe just his Uncle were pretty sleazy in how they used Fran as placeholder. If they were unhappy
with the number of shots per game CJ took at Iowa, that was all on CJ for passing up shots and his own body for keeping him off the court
I guess if Fredrick's dream is to play for Kentucky, I don't begrudge the transfer, just the way his was handled
Looking at Iowa Freshman Sandfort---he looks like an upgrade over Fredrick because he can play both 2/3 position with better size and he's looks to have same shooting skills/ability to finish as Fredrick.

Why do you post about things you clearly don’t know anything about? It was well-publicized that Fredrick told Fran he was coming back.
That's exactly what I said. I don't really know anything about what happened. Neither do you. No one knows everything that went down and what was said leading up to the moment he left. All that was reported was that Fran was surprised. BFD. A 21 year old kid changed his mind. Maybe he wasn't clear about his intentions. WTF knows who was in his ear or what they were telling him. You ever talk to a 20 year old kid and wonder if you're getting a straight answer? There are exceptions to every rule but they aren't exactly known for being great communicators or good at having difficult conversations. Breaking up is hard to do. Even for fully formed adults. You sound like a jilted lover yourself. Get over it.
Our high school had Chevy Citations for drivers ed. Had to floor it to go 25 mph uphill. Top speed was 62 mph down a mine shaft with a tail wind .
The X-11 had a V-6, 4 speed manual transmission and did 0 to 60 under 12 seconds and had a top speed of 99 mph. It was a poor mans sports car but it seemed faster because it was lower to the ground.
I remember when I was a kid I saw approximately 4000 of those every day. And chevettes. And then one day they all vanished never to be seen again. Seriously when was the last time any of you have seen any of them?
This is a VERY good question and something I have not thought about. I see the occasional old Caprice Classic around, but never a Citation or Chevette. My guess is they have all disintegrated considering the condition my '83 was in roundabout '91.
Most were probably totaled by HS kids in the 80s and 90s. Guilty on the Caprice
My niece totaled their Chevette coming out of a summer camp where she was working. Was my parents' car, I drove it a few time and noticed that the steering wheel was not centered to the driver's seat. Very weird car overall, no acceleration at all.
Hmmm ... I wonder if I know your niece. Can you ballpark the year of the accident?My niece totaled their Chevette coming out of a summer camp where she was working.
