Jodie Meeks has returned to UK to continue to work towards his degree. Why would he return just to go to a few classes?…It’s simple, to make good on a commitment he made to his family ([I]Now if he could have only talked Daniel Orton into doing that). [/I]Meeks has been mandated to play in the NBA’s Summer League, so he’ll only be able to attend four weeks before heading back to the NBA.
Here’s an excerpt from the article on ukathletics.com

“It’s different going to class again,” Meeks said. “In class, as soon as I walked in the teacher was like, ‘Wow, you’re back in school?’ ”
He would later answer with an 86 percent on his first test. [/QUOTE]
Here’s Meeks on his playing time in the NBA. Many of us (including me) would have loved to see Meeks in a UK jersey last year. I can’t imagine us going cold from the three point line at any point in the season if Meeks was on the roster.

“It went pretty well,” Meeks said of his first year. “I obviously wanted to play a lot more but sometimes that doesn’t happen for first-year guys. Overall, I think I learned a lot about myself, especially in Milwaukee. They taught me a lot about defense there. I was glad to get traded to Philly because they wanted me since last year’s draft.”[/QUOTE]
