Josh Harrellson confirms a couple of the Billy Gillispie coaching stories
Josh Harrellson was just one of the players last year for UK that no one could really understand the way he was handled by Billy Gillispie. Darius Miller, Kevin Galloway, and DeAndre Liggins, among others, joined the crowd as well. Stories about those players’ interactions with Billy Gillispie are pretty much common knowledge at this [...]
Kentucky officially finalizes roster
It’s been a long time coming, but today Kentucky has officially released its roster for the 2009-2010 basketball season. None of this is really new information, other than confirmation that guys like DeAndre Liggins and Josh Harrellson are on it. Last week, John Calipari made a comment that most of his rosters have “11 or [...]
Recapping a busy week for UK: Part 4-The roster situation
OK, we’re finally to the last issue that’s on mind surrounding Kentucky Basketball as we enter June (here are Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3). Without further ado: The roster situation – We did get some news on the roster front this week, as it was officially announced that Jared Carter, Donald Williams, and [...]
Tipton: UK to announce three off team
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 [...]
Busy Memorial Day weekend for UK
Any illusions that this weekend would be a quiet one for UK news were gone pretty quickly on Friday afternoon. Jodie Meeks continued his workouts with NBA teams, rumors about AJ Stewart’s departure came to a fever pitch, and a mysterious press conference was called for Saturday morning. Let’s take a look at how the [...]
Andy Katz: UK on verge of roster cuts
ESPN – Kentucky coach John Calipari said late Thursday that he has already talked to three players who will not be returning in order to get the Wildcats down to the NCAA maximum of 13 scholarships. UK went over the maximum with the high-profile signings of John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe — coupled [...]
John Calipari’s busy Derby weekend
John Calipari has been a VERY busy man during his month and day he’s been the coach at UK, and he’s certainly keeping it up this weekend. Here’s a rundown of what Calipari’s first Derby in the Bluegrass has been like which we are largely able to keep up with thanks to Twitter: -First, Calipari [...]
From Josh Harrellson’s Facebook
Josh says in his status this morning: “I will be staying at UK next year! No question!” Unless Josh is misinformed about his standing with John Calipari, it looks like the scholarship situation will have to be resolved elsewhere. With the recent signing of DeMarcus Cousins and Darnell Dodson, I thought that Josh was headed [...]
Post UK-Appalachian State Thoughts
I said during UK’s 93-69 victory that I don’t remember a scoring performance on par with Jodie’s 46 point effort against the Appalachian State Davy Joneses (doesn’t their mascot look like Davy Jones from Pirates of the Carribbean?). The first thing I did when I sat down to collect my thoughts on the game was [...]
Post UK-IU Thoughts
I wish I would have quit watching when it was 32-6. The Cats got off to their best start of the season, but after the first twelve minutes, the Indiana Hoosiers outscored UK 48-40, and the game ended with a final of 72-54. “This is a lot harder without Dwyane Wade!!!” Even though IU is [...]
