TIPTON’S BLOG – UK plans to announce Tuesday morning that three scholarship players will not be back on the team next season.
The three include A.J. Stewart, Donald Williams and Jared Carter, UK said.
An earlier version of this blog incorrectly listed DeAndre Liggins as one of the three.
Stewart played sparingly for two seasons at UK. He’ll have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Williams did not play at all as a freshman.
Carter missed almost all of a season because of shoulder surgery. He could have applied for a medical redshirt season in 2009-10. But that will not happen.
None of these three should come as any surprise to anyone, but the most interesting thing going on this morning is that DeAndre Liggins is the subject of swirling rumors that he will not have a scholarship next year.
It’s well documented that the statuses of Stewart, Liggins, Matt Pilgrim, and Josh Harrellson were up in the air with UK’s signing of 6 players. With Harrellson looking to have a spot and Stewart all but officially gone, the situation is getting closer to being sorted out. If Jodie Meeks is gone and Josh Harrellson does indeed have a spot, either Liggins or Pilgrim will get the last ride.

So it begins. I hope this grease and slime never come off the Kentucky program. This is the first of many black eyes for the Kentucky program with Calipari. Look who he recruited at Memphis… Sean Banks, DeJuan Wagner, Arthur Barclay… and the history of players he had at memphis with other problems, Dozier (Assault, Hunt (attempted sexual assault)… Worldwide and Cal will bring Kentucky to their knees… Sad to see what a ONCE proud program has to turn to in order to get back into the light. Selling your soul will only get you burned. Doubt UNC, Duke or Kansas will ever stoop to this level.
3 people who were promised a scholarship get the boot… you stay classy Cal, Im sure your kids really look up to you
