I was set to start working on my player preview for Jarred Vanderbilt recently when I heard the news. Freshman forward Jarred Vanderbilt will be missing around three months with a foot injury. He went down at the end of the Nike Hoop Summit this last spring with another foot injury, and if it’s the same foot, it could be a nagging injury he deals with his whole career.
Anytime a team loses a five-star player to injury, for any amount of time, it’s a huge blow. Kentucky is loaded at the forward positions with Kevin Knox, P.
