Jorts: "The Big White Boy"

During today’s press conference with Coach John Calipari, he discussed Josh Harrellson and expressed some very interesting comments about Josh and his play as of late and some insights from the NBA about Josh.

Here are the two quotes worth review… Look for Coach Caliparis video interview in an upcoming post, when he talks about Knight, Liggins, Miller and the now famous Harrellson quotes.

[QUOTE]Calipari says a friend in the NBA called and told him, “I really like your big white kid.”

That’s Josh Harrellson who Cal says he’s happy for even though Harrellson “still does things you want to punch him in the mouth” for doing.[/QUOTE]Absolutely classic. Great quote from both the NBA and Coach Calipari. Give Josh credit this year, he has stepped up to the plate in a tough situation. He has no real back up and honestly, he was supposed to be the back up, but Josh has come through in several occasions including some big boards and key shots at times.

At 4.40 points and 8.90 rebounds per game, Jorts is 5th in scoring and second in rebounds behind only Mr Double Double himself, Terrence Jones. Give the young man some credit. I know I personally am rooting for Josh. This is it for him, his final shot at Kentucky.

Some Jorts at work…
