The basic nexus of talent, access and money that apparently is in play at Kansas would seem to be alive and well at the University of Kentucky where basketball coach John Calipari — no stranger to looking the other way — has recruited one Eric Bledsoe, whose horrible grades magically turned around in one year at a new school — enough, in fact, to meet the NCAA minimum standards.
It appears that the point guard not only suddenly turned into a scholar, someone — his prep coach is suspected — conjured up cash to pay rent for the house where Bledsoe and his mom moved for his senior year.
The NCAA is said to be very interested in Bledsoe’s turnaround.
Such killjoys.
If the Bledsoe story has truth to it, Calipari is fortunate that it was discovered now rather than two years down the road when perhaps he would have had to see a third Final Four appearance vacated.
