Thoughts?

Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie faces his first defection just six games into his tenure.

 

Wildcats freshman shooting guard Alex Legion has decided to transfer, said sources close to the situation.

 

According to one source, the move primarily concerned Gillispie — and wasn't about playing time.

 

"He was told he'd get his release later this week," the source said. "It wasn't about his playing time at all."

I think it is safe to say Alex Legion's mother is no soothsayer.

Wouldn't this be a Joe Crawford type situation in that he would lose a year of eligibility?

Well, that sucks.

I hate when kids make a stupid decision because they don't have what it takes to work.

It was good while it lasted. Alex Legion that is.

This team might not even make the NIT at this point.

Legion is not bound by a LOI at UK...

Wow....

Explain...he's on scholarship.

 

Yes.... But he didn't sign a LOI at UK... He signed one at Michigan.

Interesting. I had high hopes for him, but oh well.

 

The Cats will be alright, it just may not be this year.

Anybody know the true circumstances behind this?

I don't think there is one positive that can come from this.
