Billy Gillispie is at it again, this time taking a backup in
the MEAC.
That's right. The Kentucky coach,
better-known for taking kids just out of grammar school, will likely accept a
commitment from Hampton transfer
Matt Pilgrim on Wednesday.
``I haven't committed yet, but it's going to be done tomorrow (Wednesday)
afternoon," the 6-foot-8 sophomore forward told FOXSports.com.
Pilgrim is currently in Lexington on
a visit. He is a talent, but was suspended this past season and one source
close to the situation said Pilgrim is a "cancer"
Pilgrim started less than half of the 26 games he played and saw his numbers
fall to 7.7 points and 5.2 rebounds.
``He was the most talented player in the league," one source said. "But he's a
giant head case. I'm shocked Kentucky
would take him."
