Can’t believe no one has mentioned Rashad Carruth….. That dude was a head case loser. Can’t argue with most of the other guys that got multiple mentions in this thread.

The funny thing is, Pitino's first team at UK went 14-14 (10-8 in SEC play) with far less talent than Cal's 9-16 team, lol!

There are a ton from the final tubby years and BCG fiasco. All good players but not Kentucky starting 5 material. Way more from the first 8 years of this decade than there are from the previous 14.
Among players with at least 1 start outside of Senior Day.

I agree here. I don't understand the fascination with running down UK players. But, there will be multiple "UK Fans" place their opinion for "worst player to start at UK".I'll pass on running down any kid who came to the University of Kentucky to play basketball and at a minimum worked harder in conditioning and practices than the average person ever does.
Oops. Thanks for clarifying. Kid was definitely a cancer on the roster.Carruth never started.
The last 6 on that team I have never heard of..Pitino is the coach of my youth and I get where you are going but it isn't apples to apples.
Either way that 9-16 was not acceptable

Switch him out and put Mike Scott, I was down to those 2 for center. I had put Carter because he was eligible for a medical redshirt and had another year of eligibility for Cal's first year but did not return.Carter's only start was on senior day. I didn't realize Hogan got 2 starts his sophomore year. That's really shocking with the talent Tubby had in 98/99
I agree 100% In no way did I start the thread to trash any players. Just remembering some who managed to start over the years.It has absolutely nothing to do with trashing players for me but enjoyed a trip down memory lane thinking about the different players over the years that were actually starters at some point in their UK careers. I like pondering different lineup combinations. Always participate in the threads that are for our best players too.
Pretty bad lineup. Id say they would rival UL last season..LOLBrandon Stockton
Dwight Perry, still started even though it was intended to be Bobby.

I don't believe Simmons started at UK, did at Florida State though.Oliver Simmons
You are correct, never started and I don’t think LeRoy started any but senior nightI don't believe Simmons started at UK, did at Florida State though.
Reached way back into the Wayback machine for Mike Scott. I was going to mention him myself. Every time I watched him play I thought how in the hell did this kid get a scholly from UK?Switch him out and put Mike Scott, I was down to those 2 for center. I had put Carter because he was eligible for a medical redshirt and had another year of eligibility for Cal's first year but did not return.

Get over yourself. Some people look to be offended over anything and everything these days. Even when it has nothing to do with them.A thread about ‘worst (WORST!!) UK starting five’ isn’t about trashing players?!?! 😂
Words just do not mean anything to some people these days.
