The roster that Kentucky has suits coach John Calipari fine — unless he gets someone hurt. If that happens, then the coach worries he might be caught shorthanded at practice.

To help ease his worries, Calipari added UK baseball pitcher Ben Jordan to the roster last weekend to give the team another big to go with Nate Sestina, Nick Richards and EJ Montgomery.

“Zan (Payne) and Dontaie (Allen) are both out right now, and so we said, why don’t we add Michael Jordan to our team. So we couldn’t get him so we took Ben Jordan. And he’s 6-9 and he’s got a great way about him, a great disposition, and obviously I keep telling EJ (Montgomery), as soon as he gets in a little better shape he’s going to be dunking on you,” Calipari said after the Blue-White Game.

“

But he’s big, 6-9, long-armed, pretty good basketball savvy, feel. He’s the leading rebounder and shot-blocker in his (high) school’s history, like eighth-leading scorer in his school’s history, basketball. Obviously really good baseball player.
”

Calipari didn’t even have Jordan work out before adding him to the roster. All the coach needed to know was that Jordan was 6-9 and a former high school basketball player who was already on campus pitching for the Wildcats.
