By transferring to Kentucky? He played 9 minutes today. 0 points . He did have a few good games early in the year against bad opponents, but not much sense. He would’ve been a major contributor here.
Did CJ Fredrick Ruin His Career?
- Thread starter Legs94
- Start date
Had to be an ego thing. You can’t help but think about this team with Fredrick and Nunge. It would have been fun.
Nunge maybe, but Fredrick would have been injured, taking up someone else's schollie. Glad he's gone.
We could sure have benefited from Nunge staying, though. He'd fit right in with this team.
I guess, but ruin his career how. He probably always wanted to be a Kentucky Wildcat, and now he is. He did just enough at Iowa, (when he wasn't injured), to make that possible. As for his career, he's not athletic enough to make an NBA roster, so his career is what it is......
If he had stayed he would have sat last year with injury while Tony established himself in the starting lineup.
So CJ might have come off the bench at Iowa. Fran would have stuck by him...you know that.
We could use his shooting,no doubt. His choice.

At least Fredrick is a little more consistent now, playing shitty basketball against bad teams, too. Coming into the game, Fredrick had played in 8 games this season.
Fredrick vs Howard, Duquesne, South Carolina St, North Florida and Bellarmine: 12.8ppg on 53% shooting
Fredrick vs Michigan State, Gonzaga and Michigan: 4ppg on 21% shooting

It would be great if Calipari invited Fredrick to come back for another season and then pulled his scholarship next summer.
Well, at least he's living in the lap of luxury that is the basketball dorm at Kentucky. Seems as though Calipari didn't get the bang for his buck on this deal recruiting Frederick away from Iowa as he did (with the help of C.J.'s uncle and McCaffery's ex-friend). I hope he misses every shot he takes.
It will be interesting to see if he sticks around or transfers again. I’m guessing Calipari will tell him to move on. The arc of the universe is long . . .
He messed up his feet wearing bad shoes and hasn't been the same since. But it was also no surprise that he wouldn't get as many minutes at Kentucky. Not sure how they sold him on that idea.
Yes (laughter) he did. Shitty people get shitty outcomes.
Let me add, we found a good replacement. I'll take Perkins for $1000 please.

I don't wish ill on the kid but his cowardice put the hawks in a tough spot.
He also doesn't like running around to get open the way JBo did. And I don't think a bunch of a 6ft7 nba prospects are going to be passing him the rock. Most offensive possessions involve him just standing in the corner in case they get a rebound.
He was OK, not great, when he wasn't out with injury. As he was made of glass and frequently unable to go, hard to see it as a big loss.
Iowa could use tougher guards. Having him on the roster would not help that.

Nunge is one of the best forwards in the country today. I don't know that Rebraca would be here today if he'd stayed though.
In actuality, to even get CJ to come to Iowa was semi amazing. Cincinnati is full of multi-generational families that are born and raised and never left. He comes from one of these. It doesn't make them bad people, but if you've even lived there, you'd understand that their worlds are small and is comprised of OSU to the north and Kentucky to the south. In fact, if you really want to sum up Cincinnati, you could walk in a local establishment at any time and 70 year old men are arguing about the Greater Catholic League and if Elder, St. X or Moeller is better in football that season! Just remember that Mark Twain said "when I die, I want to be in Cincinnati because everything happens there 10 years later." It's a good place to live but very insulated.
Rebracca could play his natural 4 position. Nunge a stretch 5.
lol
Well… sure…it’s not the sophisticated, jet set, cosmopolitan, life-of-the-mind existence someone from Muscatine or Dubuque is accustomed to… but they’re probably still decent folks.
smh…
Had to spend a lot of time back in the late 80s/early 90s in Cinncy. Nice place. Older city but a lot of good places to eat and drink.
He described every community in the US
No offense but at this point, CJ was a significantly better scorer and shooter than Payton and it's not even close. We would have been better had he stayed with the team.
Possibly. Or he would have kept taking minutes from Perkins and maybe he would have transferred. I’ll take Perkins any day.
