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.

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).

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.

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.

Huge loss for UK IMO. He played great in all 3 games with LSU last season. Hope for a speedy recovery for the young man.
