Former Florida point guard Jai Lucas cautioned not to put great importance on his including Kentucky on a list of possible transfer destinations.
“Just me releasing my (transcript) to the schools who called,” he said on Thursday. “Nothing too serious with anybody right now.”
Lucas said he asked Florida officials to release his transcript to Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, Stanford, Rice and Maryland as well as UK.
But he emphasized that it’s too early in the process to draw conclusions.
Lucas put Kentucky on the list after UK assistant Glynn Cyprien called to ask about his transfer plans. Cyprien had a relationship with the Lucas family that goes back to being an assistant coach at Oklahoma State when older brother John Lucas played for the Cowboys.
Jai Lucas remains convinced that his best option should be to concentrate on finishing the fall semester, and then seriously weighing his transfer options.
Lucas decided to transfer when Florida opted to make Nick Calathes its point guard.

Why is UK pretending to be interested in this guy?? He isn’t big enough to play. Thats why he left Florida.
Hey Jerry, it has come quite obvious to me… Patterson was lacking discipline and a desire to win against VMI. After his “IT’S ME” who is playing, boy all that has been written about him has gone to his head! That’s not a Fro doo on his head, it’s the expansion of his head that has bloated itself. Last year he had all the right mental thoughts it seemed and attitude to be a great player. I like him, someone just needs to deflate his ego! After the first half, I expected Patterson to realize his mental change and come out with that Fro Doo shaved off! If someone doesn’t inform him he is hurting himself, but most of all, THE TEAM!!! WE ARE DOOMED!!!
VMI kept its composure, we didn’t. Patterson at the end of the game with his shirt tail pulled out, to me that is the first sign of a disipline problem. Billy G better squash it now!
Thanks for letting me sound off.
I hope the cats pass up on this kid. He had his chance to be in blue and white and he “blue” it. If he can’t get it done at Florida, he sure as heck won’t get it done at the University of Kentucky. Just my personal opinion.
