5-star Bol Bol and his mom want some answers from John Calipari

Posted Oct 5, 2017
When 5-star big man Bol Bol takes his official visit to the University of Kentucky next weekend for Big Blue Madness, it’ll take more than a laser-light show to sway him. Bol wants an explanation from coach John Calipari about why he cut the 7-foot-3 son of Manute Bol from USA Basketball’s under-19 team this summer. Before that surprise move, the Wildcats looked like frontrunners. (SEC Country)
