Jerry Tipton On UK basketball

I mean, not only did UK almost beat their opponent by 100 points Monday, but they also inked another top 20 player Thursday, (Alex Poythress of Clarksville, Tenn.) one who could lead Calipari and Kentucky to an unprecedented fourth consecutive No. 1 ranked recruiting class.Basketball got much needed good news Monday, as Kevin Ware will be academically eligible starting the day after the fall semester ends. He can start practicing December 14th. The Georgia guard signed last June, but did not make the grade. But Ware kept working at it and that work has paid off. The freshman is projected to be a backup to starting point guard Peyton Siva. This news, just a day after The Cards lost reserve guard Mike Marra for the season to a knee injury.
Also Monday, UK reserve guard Stacey Poole Jr. decided to transfer to another program. The sophomore hardly played. Head Coach John Calipari said he expected Poole would eventually break through and play. But his family wants that to happen sooner rather than later. So it will be at another school.
