The NBA released the official early-entry list for the 2022 NBA Draft and Shaedon Sharpe was included, making him eligible for the 2022 draft in June.

Sharpe declared for the NBA Draft last Thursday but maintained his eligibility to return to college if he chooses to do so.

Sharpe attaining eligibility was the one hurdle he needed to clear.

“I’m telling you he may do this,” John Calipari said last week. “If he’s the fifth or sixth pick and it’s a guarantee, what will I tell him to do? Go. Why would you be mad? I did this with Hami(Diallo). He was going to be a second-round pick. What did I tell him? Come back. Not only did I tell him to come back, he says that was the best decision he’s ever made. I went to the workouts with him to make sure no one fooled him. I’ve done this.”
