LEXINGTON, Ky. – As the storm raged around him, Kevin Knox found shelter in solitude.

He deleted the social media applications from his cell phone, Twitter and Snapchat, and devoted himself to a small circle of friends and to a smaller circle roughly 30 inches in circumference. After his name surfaced in stories detailing the seamy underside of college basketball, the University of Kentucky freshman found sanctuary in the gym and, he says, untroubled sleep.
