The room under UK's scholarship limit grew a little bit today, to -1. As widely expected, Donald Williams is moving on, according to True Blue Kentucky. Best wishes from UK fans to Donald, who did not play a single minute last year.
At this point, UK now has 14 players filling 13 scholarships, with the good possibility that it will be 15/13 before very long. If Meeks and Patterson return, then two more players will have to decide to move on, or Calipari will have to pull a rabbit out of his hat. There is a short list now of players who could make the decision to transfer -- Harrellson, A.J. Stewart and DeAndre Liggins. After that, everyone returning is a senior, and transferring as a senior is not really an option. Here is the list:
| # | Player | Class | Position |
| 1 | Cousins, DeMarcus | Freshman | Center/Forward |
| 2 | Dodson, Darnell | Sophomore | Forward |
| 3 | Galloway, Kevin | Senior | Guard/Forward |
| 4 | Harrellson, Josh | Junior | Center/Forward |
| 5 | Harris, Ramon | Senior | Forward |
| 6 | Hood, Jon | Freshman | Guard/Forward |
| 7 | Liggins, DeAndre | Sophomore | Guard |
| 8 | Meeks, Jodie | Senior | Guard |
| 9 | Miller, Darius | Sophomore | Forward |
| 10 | Orton, Daniel | Freshman | Center/Forward |
| 11 | Patterson, Patrick | Junior | Forward |
| 12 | Pilgrim, Matthew | Junior | Forward |
| 13 | Stevenson, Perry | Senior | Forward |
| 14 | Stewart, A.J. | Junior | Forward |
As Matt Jones suggests, it is quite likely that this kind of roster flux will be happening every year from now on. I know I am in the minority, but I have decided just to let things take care of themselves and not worry about it. Every one of these players is good enough to play significant minutes somewhere, if not at UK, and so far, players faced with the decision have decided that it is better to be on the court somewhere else than just on the team in Kentucky. So for those of you sweating the roster, don't worry -- be happy.
And now, for the news.

- Why all the interest in spring football? Most likely the warm weather, according to this article. Except in Alabama, of course -- the Tide would have packed their stadium in the middle of a hurricane.

Darius isn't going to be a senior.
Even so, it shouldn’t change the roster situation. Coach Cal seems to be very high on him.
But he is from Kentucky so he’d only have to pay in-state tuition if he gave up his scholarship.

I think your words above may be prophetic Tru
Meeks and Patterson return, and 3 must go…..Stewart, Harrellson, Harris appear to me to be first…or Liggins and Galloway ( but they seem less likely)….although If I was Cal, I would be looking for a Div II school that needs a guard, or be having some really tough conversations with my team, just in case of this…..
Meeks and Patterson come back….we get Wall OR Bledsoe…..but what if we got both?
Remember, we're having fun now!!!

Well ...
… if Meeks and Patterson return, only two must go or there must be some other accommodation made that opens up two scholarships.
We will not get both Wall and Bledsoe. That’s my prediction. Bledsoe will not want to wait to play. Also, I have a feeling that Bledsoe will not qualify, and have to prep. Then, we could offer him a scholly for next year. That might be the best of all worlds if Wall decides to come.

I just don't agree
With the five reasons Pat should stay. I mean we all want him to stay, but what player doesn’t say he wants to win a title when he signs with a college? What player doesn’t want to get to the league? I don’t really see Calipari having a strong track record of developing post players. Plus he can still get his degree without staying at UK. As for the celebrity argument, I’m sure he’ll have plenty of followers with a pocket full of cash in a city much bigger than lexington. He doesn’t really impress me as the kind of guy who wants all the attention anyways.
I don’t know. If the guy comes back and gets hurt again, he could be well on his way to a late second round pick. Maybe he’s not projected as a top ten pick, but the way he performs, he’ll be a solid pro. Too much stock is put into how high a guy jumps or their size, none of that stuff puts points on the board.
by daniel81 on Apr 28, 2009 3:09 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well... it depends in my book...
We’ve all said that Patterson needs a face-up game for the league because he’s not big enough to play center. If he can thrive in the DDMO, his stock may soar.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."

make no mistake about it
Patterson can move…..has good footwork, and hustles inside…..but in the NBA where you have to be able to do all of that AND be 7’ tall to play center, he’s just not going to cut it, as a true center. He is not YET quick enough to take most guys from the floor as a Power/Small forward. I think youre right chirop, if he makes that DDMO work for him….he can be a top 5 pick next year….and I can honestly say that IF they are all here next year, I think Patrick, Jodie, Wall, and quite possibly Cousins are ALL top 10 talent picks in the Draft.
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
by ALLBLUCAT on Apr 28, 2009 4:57 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'll agree on 3 of the 4
The NBA draft is all about potential… the ceiling on Wall, Cousins, and Patterson is yet to be defined. Jodie doesn’t have a lot of room to grow realistically. I think a good year in the DDMO could bump him up into a solid first rounder, but I just don’t see the likelihood of a top 10.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."

True But Irrelevant
I don’t really see Calipari having a strong track record of developing post players.
Not only is that inapplicable to Patterson it is in fact affirmative. The necessity of Patterson to play the five was an injustice and delayed the requisite development to play at the next level, thus Calipari’s scheme of eschewing the low post is a rather large benefit.
by Wild Weasel on Apr 28, 2009 5:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well, I pretty much agree.
I would feel horrible if something happened to him.
Here are five reasons why he should go:
- Weaker draft this year than next year will likely be;
- He may thrive in the DDMO. He may not.
- He may suffer a bit in comparison to either Orton, Cousins or both. Both are more prototypical NBA power forwards.
- Injury possibilities.
- Anyone projected in the first round should default to staying in.
Some of those reasons are better than others. Your mileage may vary.

I didn't say they would be sent "packing" per se....
just that if we are realistic here, holes will have to open if the dominoes fall in place…I honestly don’t know how on earth Cal makes it work, but I feel like he will find a way….and it might have to be unconventional to do it…..if ALL seniors stay, AND we get ALL recruits we are targeting….“Houston, we have a problem”….now, I think you are right Tru….no way we get both Wall and Bledsoe…but Patterson, Meeks,Wall OR Bledsoe added to the mix right now means we need 4 scholarships…and we only have 1…..so…..you tell me, who goes?….or where is the change made?….something has to give….and yes, I agree that it’s speculation at this point, but that’s why we are discussing it….

UK Had Frequent Roster "Churning" In 1970's And 1980's Under Hall And Sutton
And a fair amount of it (roster turnover) in the Rupp years from the late 1940’s onward.
Less so under Pitino. More so in the latter part of the 2000’s decade under 2 coaches.

Tru, you really amaze me sometimes...
Some of the interesting things you find. I could look for a week, and never find some of these tidbits….You are the best !!
Jasper started a lot of dominoes to slowly fall one by one? That is an interesting take. And I always enjoy listening to Mr. Wildcat. The fact is I could listen to long time KY fans, talk about experiences for hours and hours….
I too, about a week ago decided to not worry, be happy. Let what may be, just be. I think it shows that we think the program is in capable hands….I wouldn’t call getting up every morning wondering if any recruitment decisions have been made, worrying. That is hoping…lol
Still very excited though :-)

Tru's links
Always the best and unusual to UK.
I really like the idea of the Keightley interview links this summer. I think they would provide a lot of interest to UK basketball fans during the off season. I have listened to many in the Library and I love hearing him talking about the program, Coaches, and players through the years.
(hint) Could possibly get a lot of hits during the summer doldrums.

Redshirting
What are the chances Calipari decides to redshirt a player or two? It seems to me that should Harrellson and Stewart stay they would be good candidates to redshirt because I just can’t see either of them seeing the floor especially if PPat and M33ks returns. If Uk adds one of the 2 PG’s and both stars return, UK should be 10 deep without JH and AJ.
Another benefit is that, after 2009 UK will definitely lose several players and it might be good to have those 2 back to add experience and depth. They could learn alot and get better in practice, Not to mention that a reshirt may force them to decide to leave which I know is shady but it could be a by-product of the decision to redshirt them.

I agree, but the redshirt still costs a scholarship, so it doesn't fix that situation.
Stevenson seems like another player that could benefit from a redshirt.

If AJ Redshirted, and worked non-stop on his game
he might be able to be ready for the 2010-2011 season, and be productive, but not a top-flight player, IMHO. Knowing his history, I am not sure he would be willing to do it, or if Coach would be willing to go that route with him….Redshirting Harrellson to me seems to be a no-win scenario. I do not think he will get the speed that AJ can pick up, and I have yet to see Harrellson make a one-on-one drive to the basket that would impress anyone….that DDMO counts on that part of a player’s game.It is an option, but as noted, it doesnt relieve the scholarship situation….I got schooled on that one earlier this month.I do wonder though, does a MEDICAL redshirt get treated any differently?
Remember, we're having fun now!!!

If neither can play in the DDMO now....
then why not redshirt them and see if they can pick it up down the road. What good are they going to do deep deep down on the bench? After 09-10 season, UK will lose at least 5 players if Meeks and PPat play this season. If Cousins is one and done, then it is 6 losses to graduation and the NBA. They could add depth in 2 years and Calipari may be able to get more out of them at that time rather than nothing this season. I wouldn’t just dismiss so quick.

I don't know that anyone is worried about the experience issue in the future
I think we all recognize that Cal is going to put together some monster classes in very short order.
What everyone is concerned about is the scholarship issue, and redshirting does nothing to solve that.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."

I don't really want to completely dismiss it
I just think it might put the players at a real disadvantage as far as their playing is concerned. Harrellson is a guy that I and MOST of the group disagree on here….I just don’t think he fits, and if I am wrong I wil be the first one to admit it. As far as AJ goes, like I said, if he worked non-stop, he could do it. He has shown flashes of what he needs this year….that COULD be attributed to he and BCG butting heads, I don’t know.
The other part of this equation ( actually there are 2 more) is that will these kids want to end up spending 6-7 years in college if it did not work out….if they redshirt a year, dont improve, and then still end up transferring, it really puts them at a disadvantage, and I couldn’t see Coach doing that to them.
The other part is the fact that it doesn’t alleviate the scholarship situation is what everyone else is concerned about…me too.

He will not see the floor much
behind Pat, Orton, and Cousin plus competition in Pilgrim. If he consented to redshirting him wouldnt be a bad idea. If Patt comes back we just wouldnt need him much next season and it would give him a year to work on his ball handling.

I think no Redshirts
My guess is that Coach Cal wants to get as many of his players in as quickly as possible and that means not log-jamming the flow of scholarships with red-shirts. We can speculate on whom will be released should the need arise, but I think we can be certain that coach is keeping his list to himself.
As far as Pat, I truly believe he needs to return. Like others have said, there is so much upside to playing in position in an offense more geared to the pros. I also do not think he ever got 100% of his hops back last year. Next year will be a chance for him to show what he can do when there are 4 other offensive threats playing with him. I for one, am certain he will have his best year ever.
Any one hear any news or rumors on what is up with BCG? Just curious.
Now, I am ready for

Gillispie's first year
Rondo was part of the recruiting class with Morris, Bradley, and Crawford.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."

Rondo and the DDMO
That entire recruiting class was made for the DDMO. Can you imagine Bradley, Crawford, and Rondo on the perimeter with Morris waiting down low for the dump off?
O.O
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."

Oh my chirop
what a thought or imagination of yours. Maybe we are a little crazy…….
Doesn’t hurt to look at scenarios I suppose, right? Or in the case here, Dream Teams…..
So you are saying Rondo would have been a senior last year ?

No... Gillispie's FIRST year
He was part of the same class as Bradley and Crawford who graduated in 2008. They were our “Oh-Fours.” A much more highly touted recruiting class than the “Oh-Fours” at Florida… but their results were slightly better.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
