Good Luck Ryan Harrow

First of all, I want to wish Ryan Harrow the greatest of luck at Georgia State. He will be a great player for them and will do good things, maybe even help them to the NCAA tournament. Calipari has known he was transferring since the day Harrow “had a bad sickness” and was away from the team for a few games. The truth is I knew about this all along and even shared it with some of our members. As you know if you have been on Twitter, Ryan’s dad is in bad health right now and so the NCAA will grant him a waiver to not have to sit out a year. I was always told Ryan will graduate in May anyways so regardless he will be able to transfer there and play right away. So now I will share with you what happened.

Ryan has a lot of pressure to be very successful because his family needs him to be and this put a lot of pressure on him to become the next guard at UK to go to the NBA to get that pay day. Unfortunately with the stress from his family and our fan-base expecting him to do well as our guard, he started to get depressed. This led to him quitting the team and going home, because he couldn’t take the pressure. John Calipari knowing his family situation and the stress of being the UK guard set up a meeting with him to go over his options. Calipari told him to take his time of coming back, but he needed to come back and finish the season. He told him if he did this he would promise to get him into the best situation at another team if he wanted to transfer to be closer to his family.

They agreed and he came back to finish the year as a Wildcat, and behind the scenes Kentucky started working with the NCAA explaining his situation and made them aware of him wanting to be closer to home. It is really a great thing to have a coach reach out and help a troubled man that was just reacting in the moment, and helping him get closer to his family and play right away.

I truly respect Ryan Harrow and wish him nothing but the best. I will follow his career and will always cheer him on.

Good luck Ryan Harrow… and GO CATS
