And with all the spirit he has, at least Perry should be made honorary cheerleader.

Someone will have to explain the thought process on this to me…

said when he arrived at UK. He said he didnt keep many walk-ons. I really believe that after seeing everything about his offense, that he likes to keep the players that are playing, practicing together as groups…( i.e. have a group of starters, a group of backups, but he only practices the players that will see playing time) I dont necessarily see this as bad, because it gives the coaches less guys to keep up with, and makes the substitution patterns easier to formulate. Sometimes I think that maybe BCG had TOO many players, and it gave him so many options that guys could not get used to playing with each other. This way the guys know they will play, but they will still have to work together to get time.

The guy has been around the program seemingly forever… I don’t see any harm in letting him stick around for his senior year.

Here and there since knowing about this latest with the walk-ons. Coach Cal put up a weekend message on his website trying to explain his decision. It does make sense to me but I hate to see Perry off the team.

bothers me a lot bit. Im pretty pissed off about Cal letting him go. Matt and Adam were only around last season but Dwight has given three years to UK and been a great teamate and recruit host. He deserved to have a senior night with the rest of the senior class. I am extremely unhappy with Cal about this.

It is sad for those let go, but I agree with ABC. It’s about having guys that can play well and play well together. I get the feeling that Coach Cal’s standards for being a Wildcat are so high (as they should be) that you even our walk-ons would start on any other college basketball team. I am still disappointed that, Landon Sloan and Dwight Perry were let go. They both had huge hearts and gave a spark off the bench quite a few times. Mark Krebs must be practicing well. I think it would be great to see another walk-on that could really play. UK has had a few of those. Then the hometown hero might get some actual playing time as opposed to being a motivational sub or the victory cigar. Just my two cents.

It’s in the blog part with a link on the front page.

These guys were allowed to practice, travel and be involved in games in a way that just about every other kid in this state would kill for. So it only lasted one year for some or more for others. Jeez, complaining about not being allowed to continue on is like being told that you have been given an unlimited supply of New York strip for life and complaining that it is not prime rib. Being given one year is more than anyone I personally know has ever been allowed to have. What does it say about us when we complain that guys who were given an opportunity to be a part of something that they did not have the talent to be involved with in the first place are owed more.
