Five UK Players To Skip Class, Go Straight to Academic Probation

John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins promised their coach when they signed with Kentucky that they would put all they can into the basketball program. Now the two freshmen phenoms, along with 3 teammates are among five Kentucky players named to Academic Probation. Wall and Cousins are expected to be one of the first few players drafted, and haven't been to class since November.

The five players have promised Coach Calipari that they won't be on academic probation for long, most likely because they are all going to the NBA Draft early.

South Carolina Takes Down the John Wall

21 years after the Berlin Wall was taken down, another wall has been destroyed. The South Carolina Gamecocks have taken down the John Wall, after months of it being considered indestructible. The historic event was mentioned on espn.com, newscasts in Lexington, Kentucky and on Zaiger's Sports of Sorts. The historic event shows the world that a group of lousy students can come together for a common cause, tackle new challenges, and make a lot of people rich in Las Vegas and on Sportsbook.com.

The John Wall has been taken down for now but there are rumors that it will be rebuilt better than ever from this shocking event. In the postgame news conference, Kentucky said that the John Wall will only become stronger after this disappointment.
