Coach Cal broke the news last night to fans that Darnell Dodson would not be playing for the Wildcats this year. If you haven’t read the news you can do so [URL=”http://www.nationofblue.com/darnell-dodson-will-not-play-uk-2010-11-2112/”]here[/URL]. To briefly recap, Dodson is eligible academically but is not up to UK “standards”. If he decides to return and can improve and get up to the standards, he may be able to practice with the team this year. For now, that is all we have.

This puts Kentucky with one less scholarship player and absent a shooter. Although his time was limited last year, Dodson did provide 6 points per game in 14.5 minutes making him the most productive man off the bench. That relief was also much welcomed. Lastly, although his shooting was streaky, he did hit nearly 35% from behind the 3 point line and that is shooting that the team needs.
So with the news about Dodson not playing next year, we are interested in hearing your thoughts on the impact this will have. Leave a comment below to let us know your thoughts.
