Kentucky sent out a news release on Tuesday that said Eric Bledsoe would keep his options open about returning to UK next season.
Saying the update came from Bledsoe, UK said the player had not signed with an agent, would work out for teams and then make a decision about turning pro by the May 8 deadline.

Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald- Leader has covered Kentucky basketball since the 1981-82 season. That time includes five coaches, five Final Fours, four athletic directors, two interim athletic directors and many memories. Before coming to Lexington, Tipton worked eight years for the Huntington (W.Va.) Herald-Dispatch. He covered Marshall’s basketball team for two seasons before coming to the Herald-Leader.

He must be finding that his stock isn’t what he thought.
Hope he doesn’t return.
WOW! Wouldn’t that be an exciting team if he returns along with the new players. I am still not giving up on Daniel Orton.
Sounds like Ruthie must wear a lot of Red…
There isn’t a single True Blue Fan that wouldn’t love to see Eric come back for another year…
If he’s assured of being a high first rounder I don’t blame him for going…
But I would love to see him back at Rupp for another year,,, or as long as he would like to stay!!!
And that goes for Orton Too!!!
We’ll welcome him back with open arms. I would never hold a grudge against a young man for exploring his options, then making what he feels is the best decision for him. Anyone who expresses bitterness at this (Ruthie) is either not a true fan or is just letting their own selfish interests cloud their thinking.
look! with or without bledsoe ky will win the title next 2 years
