UK officially announced that Doron Lamb will return for his sophomore season at Kentucky. The Yahoo! Sports National Sixth Man of the Year will bring his 12 points per game back to Lexington for another push at the Final Four. This is what he had to say about his return:
[INDENT]âLast season was an unbelievable run for me and my teammates, winning the SEC Tournament and advancing to the Final Four,â Lamb said. âLosing the last game against UConn was tough and I donât want to end my college career with that feeling. With the guys we have coming in next year, I know we have the talent to make another run at a national title. I want to help bring a national championship back to the Big Blue Nation because I know theyâve been waiting too long. Iâve enjoyed my time at Kentucky, playing for Coach Cal and his staff and Iâm not ready for it to end.â
[/INDENT]And Coach Cal was happy too:
[INDENT]âDoron has the opportunity to improve greatly with an additional year in college,â UK menâs basketball coach John Calipari said. âA lot of players have opted to return to school which made it a tougher decision for him. Not only does he gain another year of maturity and school work, but he now has the chance to put in the extra work to elevate his game. Iâm excited to have him back.â
