When Willie Cauley-Stein arrived on the University of Kentucky’s campus his name was Willie Cauley, then shortly after arriving on campus he added the “Stein” to his name in honor of his mother. For Willie’s 3 years at Kentucky we have seen many things change with him, his head band to the undershirt to no undershirt to bleaching his hair blonde, but one thing hadn’t changed for quite sometime, his name.
Well, as Willie Cauley-Stien leaves us for the NBA, he’ll also leave us under a different name. As of yesterday Willie changed his name to Willie Trill Cauley-Stein.
