Turkish superstar Kanter ruled ineligible as a college athlete..

The biggest fear of the Big Blue Nation, has come true.. Enes Kanter, the Turkish league phenom, has been ruled permanently ineligible by the NCAA to participate as a college athlete.  In a statement released on the organizations website, Kanter has been ruled "permanently ineligible for receiving benefits above his actual and necessary expenses while playing for a club basketball team in Turkey."  The university will appeal this decision, but all hope is pretty much lost being that these types of things are usually set in stone.  This incident will leave Kentucky short handed in the front-court, having to rely on Josh Harrelson much more than in years past, as well as new-comer Eloy Vargas who's father recently past-away in the Dominican Republic.  Look for Kentucky to play a fast pasted, small line-up much of the year including 4 guards(Brandon Knight, Doron Lamb, Darius Miller and DeAndre Liggins) and forward Terrance Jones at the 5 spot.  That style of play should be a fun one to watch, much like the way Villanova plays.  Coach John Calipari will really have to work his magic in the 2010-2011 basketball season.. no task seems too large for this man though.
