Well we lost another one

[Born and Raised Big Blue]

Dillon Pulliam leaving the program to go get his masters. Good luck to him.

 

[o_Ricky]

Got recruited over for Brad! It's Saul 2.0, losing talent because of the coach's son.

Kidding of course. Kid is going to a masters program at Carnegie Mellon

 

[docholiday51]

Dammit,I was looking forward to having Dillon and Hagans on the same team in case we got into a shootout:gun:

 

[ThwKentuckyKid]

The hits just keep coming.

 

[83Cat_rivals79182]

How does that effect our team GPA?

 

[JLK83]

Kid is going to a masters program at Cargenie Mellon

Must be a good student...hard to get into.

 

[GonzoCat90]

That's huge news for him. Talk about making the most of your youth. Walk-on basketball player at a major program, then your masters at Carnegie Mellon.

There's not a better school in the country for someone with his major. Apparently even our walk-ons get drafted high.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

This is ********. Cal needs to try harder to keep these kids.

Does sound like a GPA hit. Cal needs to 'cruit some nerds if he wants to keep making it to the finals of the APR tournament or whatever it is.

 

[TheBlueDisciple]

Man, would’ve been nice to actually have a senior night again for once.

 

[Shaudylo]

This is the **** that Cal must stop . This happens nowhere else but here

 

[jedwar]

I'm so sick of the 3 and dones.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

Man, would’ve been nice to actually have a senior night again for once.

Really lol? Are you aware of his major and the school he has been accepted to? This is excellent news for this young guy.

 

[Nubb16]

He scared

 

[FrankUnderwood]

He scared

[roll]

 

[Forever11]

How is this a GPA hit?
He is graduating, it helps us. Right?

 

[blubo]

Why would a junior transfer and have to sit out a year?:flushed:

Just a bad joke. He sounds like the perfect walk-on, a kid that prob hasn't gotten a B since 3rd grade. Cal likes to brag about UK's APR score.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Not sure if serious? Lol.

 

[ZZBlueComet]

Could’ve been the next Polson or Ravi Moss: damn Cal!!

 

[BLUEHILLS]

The program needs to do some serious soul searching when you start losing players to Carnegie Mellon.

Nothing against CM but come on!

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

There was never any PT for him here. Heard CM offered him a starting spot

 

[TankedCat]

He probably got tired of all those college girls wanting to smash a UK player cutting into his study time.

Carnegie Melon it is!

Best of luck to the guy, he will be able to look back on college with great memories

 

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

Non-scholarship players don't count towards the APR in full-scholarship sports, I believe.

 

[Anon1658882690]

Man, would’ve been nice to actually have a senior night again for once.

Um.. We will have a Sr.. Johnny David.. Sr type leadership..

 

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

Why would a junior transfer and have to sit out a year?:flushed:

You don't have to sit out a year when transferring to a lower division. That only applies if it's D1 to D1 or going up a division (so like D2 to D1).

 

[Kewlcats]

Carnegie Melon, it that like "Back to School" Thorton Melon? aka Rodney Dangerfield

 

[TortElvisII]

 

[TheBlueDisciple]

Um.. We will have a Sr.. Johnny David.. Sr type leadership..

I mean...does he count? Pretty sure you have to at least take one shot or dribble the basketball for two consecutive seconds in order for it to count. Assumed the NCAA would actually grant him his year of eligibility back.

In all honestly I actually forgot about Johnny. Something about having two first names makes him untrustworthy...

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Congratulations, Dillon. Impressive.

 

[bthaunert]

I'm a huge fan of always giving walk-on spots to Kentucky boys like Pulliam.

 

[HoldMyBeer]

Honest question, would ya rather have one year of John Wall or 4 years of Johnny David. Before all these threads on senior leadership/experience trumping all, I could've sworn the answer was Wall. Not so sure anymore tho.

WINNER, LOL.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

How do you get to Carnegie Mellon?

 

[Susan2361]

I know it probably shouldn't matter, but one of the few times in my life where I get goosebumps is on Senior night when they play My Old Kentucky Home and EVERYBODY is singing along. I have never seen so many tears in one place. It is almost magical. It is even better when that senior is a Kentucky boy, walk on or not.

Congrats to Dillon:

 

[new era cat]

We have less graduates than transfers.
How many programs can say that and still be at the top? Yes!

 

[Dr. H Lecter]

He can play his final year for the Carnegie Fighting Mellons. Would likely start for them.

 

[Chuckinden]

What will we do now!!!!!!!!!
