LEXINGTON -- Despite his rare public statement criticizing a player, Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari said Monday evening there is still a path back to the team for suspended freshman forward Cam'Ron Fletcher.
"My hope is he’s going to be out, away from us a little bit and he rejoins us," Calipari said on his weekly radio show Monday. "But, it will be not on his terms. His mom and I talked again tonight -- great lady -- and she knows he has to do this right. I think Cam will."
Earlier Monday Calipari tweeted that Fletcher had been asked to "take some time and step away from the team" in order to "reflect and do some soul searching to get his priorities in order.
