Clearly has fallen out of favor with Calipari. Anybody with some details? If he keeps riding the bench you'd expect a transfer sooner rather than later.

No PT in the first two games? Is he hurt? Hard to believe he isn't playing, at all.

He is not hurt. Something has happened for which neither Calipari nor Liggins, nor the team will address. Calipari actually was very high on Liggins until a couple of months ago. He said he has to do things to prove he is part of the team and he openly said he will not address it. The players obviously have no permission to talk about it either.

Liggins was in warmups and sitting at the bench last night with 2-3 coaches and staff between him and the rest of the players. Sad.

Can someone give a brief recap about this Liggins dude? I know he's been discussed at length on here but can't remember the whole backdrop....Chicago kid, no?

Sounds like things have gotten pretty bad for DeAndre in Kentucky. I'm sure a transfer will be in order if he doesn't start getting some playing time soon. Wonder where he'd go...

It seems there were problems with DeAndre before Calipari showed up. And with the freshman showing up, Cal doesn't really need to deal with any BS. DeAndre should just move on - he could do much more at another institution. Maybe a Mid Major would be best for him, or one of the A10 schools.
