Kentucky now down to the scholarship limit

Kevin Galloway and Matt Pilgrim will not return to Kentucky next season, a source close to the program confirmed for CBSSports.com on Thursday morning. Consequently, the Wildcats are now down to 12 scholarship players set to be on the team assuming all the recruits qualify, 13 scholarship players if all the recruits qualify and Jodie Meeks withdraws from the NBA Draft.

The NCAA limit is 13 scholarship players.

The following is UK's roster of scholarship players (if Meeks withdraws from the draft):

Jodie Meeks
Patrick Patterson
Perry Stevenson
Ramon Harris
Darius Miller
DeAndre Liggins
Josh Harrellson
John Wall
DeMarcus Cousins
Daniel Orton
Darnell Dodson
Jon Hood
Eric Bledsoe

On that roster is the likely No. 1 pick in the 2010 NBA Draft (Wall), two other probable lottery picks (Cousins and Patterson) and a totally separate player who is expected to be a consensus first-team All-American (Meeks). Combine that with what should arguably be the best bench in the country, and you can see why Kentucky should be the nation's preseason No. 1 team.

The roster looks good, however, they must be able to play together as a team. Coach C will have his hands full trying to keep all the super stars happy. Best of luck to the Wildcats with all the great players on the team. " Go Big Blue" [ Reply to Comment ]
travis34uk Since: May 18, 2009	Posted on: June 11, 2009 10:57 am Kentucky now down to the scholarship limit I'm pretty sure that Kentucky and Kansas could beat about 10 NBA teams next season. [ Reply to Comment ]

canuck23 Since: Sep 12, 2006	Posted on: June 11, 2009 10:44 am Kentucky now down to the scholarship limit Gary - with all the talk of Mayo, Stephenson, Rose and Sidney recently, I'm just wondering out of curiousity if there any rumblings about similar issues potentially arising with John Wall? I'm not trying to stir the pot Kentucky fans (seriously), I'm actually just curious. [ Reply to Comment ]

What's wrong with this picture? [ Reply to Comment ]

Gary,
The bottom line up front! Big Blue fans want to win the big dance. The roster looks good, however, they must be able to play together as a team. Coach C will have his hands full trying to keep all the super stars happy. Best of luck to the Wildcats with all the great players on the team. " Go Big Blue"
