I didn't think UK players went to classes.

You're thinking of a different university.

Congrats to Alex. Graduating in 3 years is a very good accomplishment. I assume he'll have to enroll in grad school in order to play, and could also be a long way towards a master's by the end of next year. Whatever happens he's got options which is always a good thing.

Congrats to him graduating. I guess this means he won't be available to play next season though.

Uh yeah, he has one more year of eligibility left. He can play as a grad student.

True I forgot about that. My bad, everyone disregard my last comment please.

And, if he applies for a medical hardship and is accepted, he can play the following year. We could potentially see Alex playing 2 more seasons at Rupp.

This is the crowning achievement of our 1 loss season - our junior leader going out early, with a season ending injury, and still making his way to class and finishing his degree work inside of 3 years. Superb achievement, Mr. Poythress. Great admiration. Cap and gown pics please somebody (assuming he's attending ceremony).

 

[RondoBaller21]

One of my favorites of all time. I just hope he can get back his bounce he had before the injury. Congrats to Alex!!

Congratulation to Alex for all the hard work in the class room and on the court.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Bobby Knight will not be in attendance.

 

[Brando Mac]

Congrats to Alex.

Great guy and great representative of our state and UK. You'll never hear any of the usual detractors acknowledge anything about this, though, doesn't mesh with the narrative they want to tell. Really hoping for good things for him on the court this season, he deserves it.

 

[calamitybone]

Class act and we are very fortunate to have him. He will continue to represent UK well.

 

[Bluegrassking]

Way to go Alex!

 

[irishcat1965]

Congrats Alex!!!!

 

[Boozer93]

Great representative of UK. I'm very proud of our kids.

 

[catfaninsc]

Congrats Alex ! Job well done.

 

[FFWhite]

Way to represent your team. Congrats Alex!

 

[minjo]

We are proud of you Alex. Welcome to our group of UK graduates.
Good luck to you coming back to the team. Hope you can show a thing or two to our new players and be a true leader of the team.

 

[GonzoCat90]

It also says a lot that he's accepted every role given to him and is apparently the best friend of every player on the team. Just a great all-around individual.

 

[Orville Boggs]

Congrats to Poy!
