I don't give a flying rats *** who they cut. If they aren't UK material or help the team in any way, then they need to be released. We have been mired in mediocrity since 1998 and now we're going to gripe because a couple of useless people were let go? Listen to yourselves and you will realize exactly why no one wants to coach the University of Kentucky. We want to win yet we want terrible players taking up practice time. "But we just can't let them go because they have heart and would die for this team", well you know what? So would I, but that doesn't mean I belong as a walkon at the University of Kentucky. Back in the Pitino era, we had walkons that contributed to our success. Cameron Mills was a walkon and he played solid minutes and hit one of the biggest shots in Kentucky history against Duke in the 1998 tournament. People like Dwight Perry don't belong walking on at Morehead let alone UK. Let them go and give us some real players to compete with.

Are being serious? That's stupid. If a player MADE THE TEAM, then how is that player terrible. Again, a very shortsighted view of what every college Baseball, Football, and Basketball team in the Nation does. Your comment has no understanding that UK had walk-ons during every era of college basketball at the university. Oh, so now we change our history? One that obviously has not MIRED the program in the past!

These kids made the team through work and dedication. Your comment about Perry is completely unfounded, completely. If you wnated to be a walk-on, you would have had to prove you deserved to be a walk-on. Walk-ons on just just GIVEN a spot, they have to beat out several players who have been given the opportunity to PROVE they belong. It's not a Freebie! It's not a Charity Case. It's not a RIGHT, it's EARNED, more EARNED than any other player on the roster! That's bull about the practice session. Been there, these guys are the one's that are running harder than any other player on the court because the HAVE TO! They were not given a spot, so they work 10 times harder than any of the scholarship athletes that were GIVEN a spot. This is not about who gets minutes. The Walk-on's at dUKe, UNC, Kansas, they don't play any more than the ones at UK, but they got there the EXACT same way. They Deserved it because the earned it!
