QUOTE

UK Coach John Calipari on how Poole fits in to his system:

"Stacey Poole is in the line of players that we've signed in the past who have a skill set and the work ethic to play in our system. He's a slasher who can play multiple positions and a defender that is capable of shutting down people. Stacey really wanted to play for us and we're glad to have him as a part of the UK family."
