Kentucky fans are getting some good news today. Alex Poythress will be returning to school for his junior season.
“Playing in the NBA has always been a dream of mine, but I want to make sure that I’m NBA-ready before I make that jump,” Poythress said. “By coming back, I’ll be so much closer to earning my degree in business and it will give me another year to prepare my game and my body for the next level.”
I know most people are shocked to learn they still have juniors on the team but if they can convince the Harrison twins to come back and add in another solid recruiting class, they will be right back in the mix next year. That front line of Willie Cauley-Stein, Alex Poythress, Marcus Lee, Karl Towns and Trey Lyles next year will be nice.
