Harrison Barnes cuts list, UK a casualty
I have always thought that Harrison Barnes was a longshot for UK to land, even with John Calipari at the helm. Today’s news bumps UK’s chances to land the consensus top 2 player in the class of 2010. Barnes has cut his list to 6 and excluded Kentucky. He will now choose from Kansas, Duke, [...]

A few quick notes for a Monday morning

Gary Parrish: Elliot Williams, Matt Pilgrim appear headed to Memphis
Yesterday I wrote about how Duke transfer Elliot Williams and Matt Pilgrim were both possibilities for UK’s 13th scholarship.

AJ Stewart to land at Central Florida?
AJ Stewart was made aware that his scholarship would not be renewed at UK before Matt Pilgrim and Kevin Galloway, so he’s had a little bit more time to figure out his basketball future. According to the Lexington Herald Leader’s UK hoops notebook from this morning, Stewart appears to be headed back to his home [...]
Addressing the Jodie Meeks, Kevin Galloway, and Matt Pilgrim rumors

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.

Wrapping up the weekend in UK news
Since Patrick Patterson’s announcement on Friday afternoon that he will return to Kentucky for his junior year, it’s been a pretty quiet weekend in terms of UK basketball news.
