Benson quits team

Published by jtipton on November 26, 2007 in players.

Walk-on Kerry Benson has quit the Kentucky team.

The freshman from Pleasure Ridge Park High last practiced on Wednesday. He hasn’t returned to the team.

“He decided he was ready to move on,” Coach Billy Gillispie said. “He did a good job as a walk-on. He helped us.”

Benson will continue to attend UK as a student, Gillispie said.

Not surprising. It was just a matter of time until someone quit. Gillispie is about as demanding as they come and that’s good. It wouldn’t surprise me if someone else leaves the team.
