Courtside with the Kentucky Wildcats
Kentucky Coach Billy Gillispie did not sound optimistic about Jodie Meeks playing against Arkansas on Saturday.
Meeks, who has played in 11 games this season, had participated in practice on a “very, very limited” basis, Gillispie said after Friday’s practice.
“He’s trying his hardest,” said Gillispie, who added that Meeks was “questionable.” [Hear Gillispie’s Friday news conference.]
Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald- Leader has covered Kentucky basketball since the 1981-82 season. That time includes five coaches, five Final Fours, four athletic directors, two interim athletic directors and many memories. Before coming to Lexington, Tipton worked eight years for the Huntington (W.Va.) Herald-Dispatch. He covered Marshall’s basketball team for two seasons before coming to the Herald-Leader.
Billy Gillispie talks about how Jodie Meeks and all uk players are working there hardest in rehabbing there injuries, and I believe him jodie meeks is a good player with the potential to become great with the proper development. We need Jodie Meeks due to the lack of offensive weapons at this stage and Jodie can have instant offensive and lock down defender in Gillispie’s man to man defensive.
‘questionable’ indeed!
