Yeah all of the white players graduate this time

Unless Willis has done some kind of speedy school, he's only a sophomore this year!

Poythress and Willie are the only 2 Juniors on this squad!

Posted by boomdaddy (Member # 2644) on 02-25-2015, 10:03 AM:

I am guessing that Poythress will petition for an extra year of eligibility. I think he will stay next season and go pro, with one year left that he could use. I believe he is graduating in three years. He will be working towards his masters, if he stays next season.

Will Willie stay or go? I say he goes. But who knows?

Posted by Old Norm (Member # 1482) on 02-25-2015, 10:30 AM:

I'm pretty sure Poythress already has another year of eligibility. In fact, I know he has. He's only a junior. I'm pretty sure that if he petitioned, he'd have TWO more years, after sitting out this year.

Posted by boomdaddy (Member # 2644) on 02-25-2015, 10:49 AM:

That is correct. He must petition at the end of this season, to have two years.

I am wondering if he will stay another tow years. We, the fans, would love to see him stay. I would think that if he comes back healthy, he will go after next season.

Since Poy played in less than 30 percent of the team’s games this season, he is eligible for a medical redshirt. He is on track to receive his undergraduate degree from Kentucky in May. That would give him 2 more years of eligibility and could work on his Masters.

Poy is the one that all the players still look up to for advice and did last season too. He is a special Cat.

Alex is a classy young man, I just hope he can recover through rehab and eventually get a chance at an NBA team.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-25-2015, 01:44 PM:

I'm hoping he has an opportunity to play pro ball too

There must be a cpl of walk ons who are seniors. They are part of the team btw

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-25-2015, 03:23 PM:

Ed, there are 3 Seniors: Brian Long, Todd Lanter and Sam Malone.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-25-2015, 03:28 PM:

Todd Lanter played in 11 games and 15 minutes for the Cats. He is 1-3 on his 3 point shots.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-25-2015, 03:34 PM:

Brian Long played in 23 games for the Cats.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-25-2015, 03:40 PM:

Sam Malone played in 15 games and scored 7 points for the Cats.

Tks for the info Bruce - so we will have a senior night in any event!

POYTHRESS CANT PETITION FOR A REDSHIRT YEAR, OR MEDICAL UNTILL HE USES UP HIS 4 YEARS ELIGIBILITY.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-25-2015, 06:15 PM:

I think you are right, GB

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-25-2015, 06:39 PM:

Poy could have his Masters by the time he left if he stayed for his full eligibility.

Posted by rlt4uk (Member # 3194) on 02-26-2015, 01:59 AM:

Like I said the 3 white guys at the end of the bench.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-26-2015, 06:17 AM:

The walk ons, but they still play a roll on the team. I'd bet if you ask them, they are happy to be here too!
They put in as much time as the 2 platoons as well!

It's great that Cal does try to even up the unbalanced Caucasian-African American players on the team.
