What happened to him? Is he still a possible walkon?

[crazzedcats22]

I read where he just dropped out of high school. I highly doubt he is going to get his GED, qualify for college, and be accepted on any basketball team. I don't know if it's true or not though.

What a shame.............

[katfantoo]

did he ever clear the coke charges ?

[Catligula]

I think his court date is pretty soon. I wouldn't put too much stock into any rumors about him right now.

MM says that he is going to get his GED and go to JUCO.

Seems like the most plausible idea and/or possibility....

Lets just hope he turns things around and keeps his interest in the Cats

Exactly, two years down the road this could be the deal of the century for us.Lets just hope he turns things around and keeps his interest in the Cats

For his sake I hope he does turn it around but I am not sure that the University of Kentucky would want someone with this "baggage". It is not like he was caught after curfew or trying a beer. If he has dropped out of school and has had problems with coke then I don't think that he is worth the risk. I don't care how good a "baller" he is we should not become UNLV.

agreed, and I doubt in two years BCG will still be trolling around the JUCO ranks, most of those guys have some sort of baggage anyway, whether it be academics or character issues. This year I think coach got in late on most of the good high schoolers, and had to go this route. I don't think it happens after this year, but there could be a scattered exception.

I want 2 win as much as anyone, but can we do it without becoming Memphis?! I wish Mackey well, just not at UK.

[dwarfdorin]

I agree we don't need this kid no matter how good he might be, too much baggage.

:widcat::widcat: Go CATS!!!
