This is a Twitter report, but it is from a very reliable source that Jon Hood has torn his ACL. That is bad news for Kentucky's depth. Even though Hood did not contribute a lot last year and would need some major improvement this year to play much, it is always bad when a player blows out an ACL.
We'll have the reports as soon as they are available online. The really screwy thing is I was just working on Jon's player page for the 2011-12 version of Wildcat Tipoff. Talk about your weird and unpleasant coincidences. I just hope the damage is limited to his ACL and he doesn't have much cartilage or other knee damage.
I'm sure we'll be getting the word soon, and I think Tom Leach is subbing in for Lachlan McLain tonight on WHAS, so this may have already hit the airwaves. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to tune in right now, but if someone can confirm this story in the comments, I'd appreciate it.
UPDATE: Jeff Chao beat me to the punch with a fanshot. It's confirmed.
UPDATE: Alan Cutler has a story up. So does Kentucky Sports Radio.
