All eyes (but few updates) on Kentucky basketball’s 7-footers during media day

New York Times  

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Zvonimir Ivisic surveyed the circus inside Kentucky’s Joe Craft Center on Wednesday afternoon and smiled sheepishly. We just gotta get them on the court.” Calipari offered no real update on Bradshaw and Oneynso, who both had offseason foot surgery, other than they’re both “fighting to come back.” He’s walked back the timeline he shared during UK’s pro day on Oct. 11, that both could be out another five to seven weeks, which puts the season opener in question. My guess is he’s a little frustrated with me, but there seems to be a lot of people frustrated with me, so that’s OK. Like I always do, I’m going to look after the kids and try to do what’s best for him and us.” Calipari said Ivisic would do an individual workout Wednesday afternoon but not participate in the full-contact session with his teammates, which makes it unlikely he’ll play in Kentucky’s first exhibition game Friday night against Georgetown College. “I want to play so bad, but I need to get in shape first,” said Ivisic, who is grateful for Calipari’s cautious approach. “He is a five — and wants to be a five — but he’s also a four,” Calipari said.
