Could it be that Darnell Dodson is enjoying himself a little too much on the beach? Or is it that he has not yet qualified? The situation is still in limbo as according to WKYT, Calipari mentioned that he is not on campus yet, as all the other freshmen are. But he did say that he hopes he is on campus for the last 4-week summer school session. Maybe summer school isn't in his plans, just not everybody is made for it(see Xavier Henry). But according to a source of mine who attends Miami-Dade CC and is a close friend of Memphis recruit Will Coleman, Darnell was spotted on campus along Coleman. He is still playing pick up games from time to time, but as to his academic status, no one knows as of now.
The other freshmen, John Wall, Demarcus Cousins, and Eric Bledsoe, seem to be getting along well as evidenced by the pictures posted of them with fans around campus and at the UK Father/Son Basketball Camp last week. Daniel Orton is in San Francisco for a few weeks along with Patrick Patterson, training with Frank Matrisciano, also known as "Hell's Trainer". He has worked with big names, the most recent being Blake Griffin who was the #1 pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. Jon Hood is the only one left to arrive on campus out of the rest of the freshman even though he has already qualified.
