Kentucky freshman Kahlil Whitney, who was a five-star prospect, announced Friday that he is leaving the program.

"At this time, after several conversations with my family and coaching staff, I regret to announce that I will be leaving the University of Kentucky," Whitney wrote in a statement on Twitter.

"Like so many others, playing at UK had always been a dream of mine. I truly believed Coach [John] Calipari and his program, was the best fit to assist in preparing me for that next step in my basketball career. Unfortunately, my time at Kentucky has not gone as I had hoped, and I therefore need to make a difficult decision quickly to put myself back in to the best position possible as I continue to develop and work towards my ultimate goal."

Whitney started the first seven games of the season, but his role had steadily diminished. He had scored just three points in SEC play and played just four minutes total over Kentucky's past two games. He will end his freshman season averaging 3.3 points and 1.7 rebounds per game.

He's like my wife, she just forgets things in her old age.

Especially when you will notice him mentioned in the Kyle Wiltjer article. I guess I have to assume Whitney plays in the G-league too!
