JQ

So when will we see him suit up and play ?

[Pobilly]

My guess will be sometime in 2026. Not sure in early January. Or by the time we would get to see him, it will not be worth it for him to play as UK is so far out of a change at anything that he just waits till the draft.

Don't know about you but I can't handle another Shannon sharp episode. That was a bunch of BS then and if allowed to let happen again , someone should be fired!

My prediction is he may get some minutes against Bellarmine on December 23.

What about this situation is similar to Shaedon Sharpe?

Just referencing what pobilly was stating about him waiting for the draft if this team doesn't jell .Not saying that JQ won't play this year. I think he will but the situation between him and SS are similar up to this point

[Catsrock]

I am hearing/reading he may be ready for game 1 of the season, has been practicing and dunking in flip flops and cannot wait to hit the floor.

[TrueblueCATfan]

IMO he doesnt play at all

Not going to risk his NBA status

[westerncat]

I think he will play soon, don't think he will be like Sharp.

[dencat]

If this kid doesn't play then he should repay all NIL money and reimburse UK for his scholarship and any rehab costs.

At this point, I doubt we see him

So practice reports is he has been stellar if true.

If he can practice, he can play now. He could easily get hurt in practice the same as a game ,it's time to play..

Jayden Quaintance Update:
"Yesterday was a really significant special day because we actually had a half-court segment and it was semi-controlled contact.
For the first time ever, including the summer, we had all of our guys on the practice floor. It was the first time ever.
We had some possessions yesterday where guys were racing in trying to make a play at the rim, and JQ came out of nowhere and kind of sent it. There are still marks on the wall from him blocking shots.”

Not the same, you know he's practicing with a red shirt on. Not the same contact he will see in a real game. Although he is built like a Mack Truck it's not the same until he gets in a real game.

JQ will help....but just a reminder, Arizona State was 13-20 last year, 4-16 in the Big 12. So we're not talking about a true game changer... just a nice little piece that should be able to help.
