Jarred Vanderbilt has been sidelined since before the start of the season with a foot injury. The 6’9″, 215 pound freshman has been rehabbing vigorously over the last several months. Coach John Calipari sounded optimistic that Vanderbilt could make his debut very soon. Calipari commented on the freshman’s passing ability via CoachCal.com:
“I’m going to tell what else Jarred is. He’s a willing passer. When he gets it, the other team loves it because that team that’s playing with them know he’s passing. He’s a willing passer, which this team needs. It would be nice, but I’m not challenging him.
