Sahvir Wheeler

Made you look.

Also, I still think it’s clever humor that the official reason he missed senior night was a medical term for “butthurt.”

I hate the way the fans treated this kid and this post is just another example of that.

Saavhir Wheeler was a decent point guard who had good games and bad games at Kentucky.

The way it ended for him here was unfortunate, but he doesn't deserve the treatment he gets from Kentucky fans.

^ I agree 100%

This guy was never UK material, but he gave it his all. He's a lower-tier SEC team material, I guess. Georgia was his ceiling as far as a team that would have wanted him. We've had a lot worse. His treatment by the fans was unfair.

Lack of leadership and guidance from the head coach should be the target of negativity. Ryan Harrow, Kahului Whitney,Shaedon Sharpe were other other examples.

Don't even get me started on that Shaedon Sharpe thief.

Fun fact about Shaedon Sharpe- he and I have the same career stats for UK basketball.

It’s hard to like the kid when he quit on his team the way he did. The going got a lil tough and he ran from it. Can’t have a winning program with players like that.

To be fair, we really don't know the full rundown of what happened at the end of that year.

The truth, like always, lies somewhere in the middle.

I'm still curious about what happened with Wheeler/that team. There were always rumors of a team Oscar vs team Wheeler clique.

I do think the fans treated him badly, but grown adults personally contacting college athletes is absolute insanity to me so I will never understand the rationale behind it.

Hard to like him is one thing. Treating him badly is another.

Wheeler quit on his team IMO. We needed him to help beat KSU and he was supposedly available for the ncaa tourney and didn't play. Disappointing but it is what it is.

For him to miss senior night and have Calipari's wife come out in his place. That was a disgrace to one of the most precious nights of being a Wildcat. I was at that game and thought how could you not do senior night at a place like UK.

Does anyone have any insight why there was such a rub between the Oscar/Savir? They got a long the previous year what happened on year two?
