I saw a blurb in the paper today that Pitino announced that Caracter is academically ineligible for the fall semester, and basically that Ricky feels his time at Louisville is over, and he needs to find a different place to play. Might this be the first instance of a coach pulling strings to make a player INeligible? (tongue planted only partially in cheek)

He did declare for the draft, but then decided he wanted to come back, at which point Pitino more or less said that Caracter made a mistake by declaring for the draft, but he also didn't want him back at Louisville, and that it was his problem. Now comes this:

"The preseason poll is, for lack of a better way to put it, it's a popularity contest," Georgetown Coach John Thompson III said. "Once the ball goes up in the air in a couple of weeks, and once we start playing each other, we'll be able to sift through and see where we really stand."

I'm not convinced he is definitely gone as Pitino goes back on his words with the media very often.
