Looks like a Calipari recruit at Memphis has already graduated from Memphis and is wanting to play elsewhere. This from GoTigersGo.com

After two seasons of wearing the Blue and Gray, [URL=”http://www.gotigersgo.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/sallie_roburt00.html”][COLOR=#000099]Roburt Sallie[/COLOR][/URL] made a tough decision Wednesday when he announced his plans to explore other playing opportunities after he earns his bachelor’s degree from the University of Memphis in August.
Sallie plans include exploring professional basketball overseas or completing his collegiate eligibility possibly closer to his Sacramento, Calif., home. If he chooses to play a final year of college basketball, Sallie would be eligible to play immediately provided he graduated this summer.
Upon graduation, Sallie will be the fourth Tiger in 2010 to earn his bachelor’s degree.

“This was a very difficult decision for me because of my love for Memphis – the city and university,” said Sallie. “But, I am moving into a different stage of my life with graduation in August, and I feel it’s time to move forward. “I am grateful for my two years in Memphis, and no matter where I go on from here, Memphis and Tiger basketball fans will hold a special place in my heart.”

With Sallie being eligible as quickly as he transfers, could this make him the other player that Cal is talking about? He did recruit him at Memphis, but one item in the article makes me question if Sallie would come to Kentucky. Sallie is from Sacramento, California and could possibly want to move closer to home. Of course in the same sentence the article speculates he could also go over seas to play pro. I just wouldn’t put anything out of the realm of possibility for Coach Cal and his staff on getting any player. Man, if Washington hates us, Memphis will hate us times 2 after this!!! I love it!! Go Big Blue!!
