White said Hoiberg was very strict and direct with Dejean-Jones about his expectations for the senior transfer from UNLV and in White's words, "...did everything that a coach should have been doing."
White described the behavior of Dejean-Jones and his roommates in detail and explained why he could take it no longer.
"They outright leave their trash out in the hallways and there was one morning I came home and the trash was littered all over the hallway," White said. "There is puke in the hallways and every smell that comes into the hallway in this building has been linked to their unit. [There are] parties at all hours of the night, all days of the week. Last night specifically I think it was just them screaming at each other playing video games at 4 a.m"
Noise, garbage and smells, however, are far from the only concern to White, who lives one door down from Dejean-Jones.
White described a particularly vulgar incident that happened recently.
"I came home one day and I noticed there was a note on their door," White said. "Someone else posted it, it was not me. Someone wrote them a nice handwritten letter that said this is what you guys are doing; we do not appreciate it. We would like it if you guys showed more respect.
"A couple hours later that note was on my door with the words 'suck my d***' written on it because they thought I did it. I shrugged it off, put it back on their door and later that night they came pounding on my door with the letter. They were drunk and fights almost happened that night."
White said he has felt physically threatened before but does not believe that Dejean-Jones or his roommate will pursue physical violence.
"I do not feel like they are going to try and do anything physical towards me, but when my mom and friends come over, nobody likes being here," White said.
A person inside Dejean-Jones' apartment did not open the door and declined to comment.

Sucks. Too bad and it seems there may be some addition through subtraction opportunity going on.

Interesting stat. More interesting because they did not get close to even the lowest total on their against Utah. Utah probably won this game because of their ability to control the tempo and get out to spot up shooters.
 
This Utah team clearly prides itself on defense and has taken the next step with a rim protector inside in Poeltl

Ya utah held the ball till the last seconds on the shot clock (even had the shot clock run out on then a few times) alot.

Turned out to be a good strategy.

Well be interesting to see if other teams do the same thing in byu's future games

Still won't work unless the same thing happens that happened vs Utah.

Nobody other than Haws, Collinsworth, and Winder show up. Literally nobody else did anything of note.

How much will this hurt Kentucky this year?

Pythress ACL Link

It hurts a lot. Poythress is our 2nd best defender (next to WCS). Fortunately we are VERY deep. Unfortunately, we have ZERO SF's and POY was the closest thing.

That sucks. I like watching him play, and I hate it when players get injured. Especially serious ones.

Police had apparently been to his house 5 times throughout the semester for noise complaints and had done everything they could without arresting him, worked with team officials, set up a text alert system for him if he was being too noisy, etc. Finally they had enough and he was arrested this time. This is apparently his 3rd citation for a "nuisance party". Not a humongous deal as far as the crime, but continuing to do it again and again is pretty dumb, and punishment seems warranted, if not necessary, since nothing else seems to work.

So he's in jail. Lol. Will miss the big game at Iowa tomorrow, which makes me sad.

I saw this the other day and wanted to comment on it. I am sure ISU knew what they were getting with him. His troubles are well documented everywhere he has been. The game against SDST when he was chucking and acting a fool on the court and then started brawling with teammates in the locker room cemented in my mind that he is a lost cause. Super talented, but just in general a birdbrained, short sighted and talented fool who hopefully makes some money in Europe so he is not committing crimes in the streets of 'merica

Another kid's life ruined by UNLV.
 
Suspended for one game - and sufficiently embarrassed for the rest of his ISU tenure, I reckon.

On the side of importance to me, dude has been playing extremely well.
 
Suxks about Poythress.

Would be interesting to find out how many Kentucky guys would have to get injured for me to not think they win the title.. I hope for the sake of those kids (no matter how miniscule their brains) that I never find out.

LazyD doesn't wish injury on folks. Only death, sometimes

PKM, did Poy have insurance on himself?

Yes. Around $2MM, iirc.

FWIW, Poythress is a 4.0 student. Has never had anything worse than an "A" in any subject starting from 1st grade. He is a junior and will graduate with a masters in accounting in May.

Thanks for the info. I like the guy even more even though I don't just assume all Kentucky athletes are stupid.

Leave it to the lazy posters to not do their homework.
