October 15, 200619 yr :lol: you don't have to forfeit games if you practice an inelligible player. That is NOT why he sat, IMO. I believe there is more to it than that.
October 15, 200619 yr Anyone else think the family "friend" may be Eddie Lau?If it were Eddie Lau, Caracter would have gotten more than 3 games. JMO.
October 16, 200619 yr So why has this ruling came and all of a sudden Caracter starts practicing right away rather than sit out a few days?

October 16, 200619 yr So why has this ruling came and all of a sudden Caracter starts practicing right away rather than sit out a few days? Cats got there tongues. I was wondering the same thing. I do not believe Pitino held out Nazi from practice when he needed to lose weight.
October 16, 200619 yr Gosh, you guys are just foaming at the mouth hoping something fishy is going on, aren't you? :lol: :lol: So sad...
October 16, 200619 yr Gosh, you guys are just foaming at the mouth hoping something fishy is going on, aren't you? :lol: :lol: So sad... Hey Im just wondering what is going on. Also, I like Rick Pitino and have nothing against UL. I usually pull for UL except for when they play a select few teams. But something just doesnt seem right here, thats all.
October 17, 200619 yr Caracter is practicing because they need the warm bodies at this point. The Caracter deal isn't even close to the big issue in U of L practices right now, injuries are starting to be an even bigger deal than they were last season.
October 17, 200619 yr Injuries were already piled up when the announced that Caracter would not practice because of conditioning.
October 17, 200619 yr Author I hear Padgett may be out until the beginning of the year. Had a part of his knee scraped...similar to that of Brian Johnson.
October 17, 200619 yr Injuries were already piled up when the announced that Caracter would not practice because of conditioning.It's actually worse now.
October 17, 200619 yr LMB- I guess you think there's some cloak and dagger reason that Pitino doesn't plan on letting Caracter play in the exhibition games, either. I'm telling you, this was about his weight. Caracter said he wanted discipline, and Rick plans on dishing it. Last but by no means least, Derek Caracter is probably the furthest along of everybody because of his conditioning. He was supposed to come in at 285, but was way past that goal. He is now at 283 with 13% body fat, it’s been a struggle trying to get him under the 10% body fat. He was suspended as we all know for three games by the NCAA . He will not play in our exhibition game unless we can get him to 10% body fat and 275 pounds. We expect him to be 265 to 268 by the beginning of the season or he will be sitting out more games than the NCAA has mandated. Derek is a project, he has ten years of bad habits to break on and off of the court but if he ever gets it and breaks those bad habits he will be one of the most exciting freshmen in the country, but that is a big if.
