Damn, tough luck for that kid. I hope he bounces back from it.

Really sucks for the kid. I wonder if this leads Cal to abandoning the platoon system.

Not sure. Also sorry RTR, didn't see you had a thread posted about it.

Damn hopefully he'll recover fully

We posted them at the same time. I saw one of the NBA guys I follow on twitter tweet about and saw no one had posted it yet. Posted on 12/11/14 at 11:51 pm to RTR America

I truly hate this. He is one of my favorite players of recent past. His effort and tenacity is unparalleled

I feel terrible for the kid. Hopefully he comes back strong in the future. And I know UK needs to play better than yesterday, but I wonder if Cal will feel any heat for this making them practice the day after the game (even though I think that happens a fair amount).

Damn. Hate to hear that.. If it makes y'all feel any better Auburn still wont have a chance...

That sucks to hear. EVen though I'm not a Kentucky fan, I don't wish injury to anyone who puts their body on the line.

With 8 games played, Alex Poythress falls under the NCAA cutoff of 30 percent of UK’s scheduled games. Could apply for medical redshirt.

I would hope not.
And this just sucks.

Lyles to the blue platoon, Willis to the white.
I truly hate this for Alex.

Really, too bad. People around the program say Poythress is a heck of a person and the best student on the team. He has something like a 3.8 GPA taking classes for some science/engineering major. I just read, however, that he can still redshirt. With all of the players going to the draft this year, he should get an opportunity to really shine next year.
