Alex is one of the most humble guys

I’ve ever played with. Class act on and off the court.

- Nerlens Noel

Wish I could be there with AP on senior day because I

Consider him one of my best friends. One of the nicest

Guys I’ve ever been around but he’d be the first one to

Dunk on you. Will always remember this quote he always

Used to use … courage doesn’t always roar.

Think it describes him perfectly because he didn’t have

To be the most talkative guy on the court because he let

His game do the talking for him. He’s a straight beast.

No matter what happens with this game for the both of us,

I know I’ll have him as a lifetime friend along with all the

Other guys I played with at UK.

- Kyle Wiltjer

AP is a very hardworking and humble. He is one of my very

Best friends, he will always be one of my brothers we’ve

Been through a lot together. We went from literally the

Bottom to the top in the country making history.

Congrats on your senior night.

- Willie Cauley-Stein

Alex wasn’t special because of his athletic ability or

Basketball ability. Alex was special because he was Alex.

One of the greatest teammates I’ve ever had and one of

The best humans I’ve ever met.

He’s a great kid. We’ve had great students here.

Some better than Alex that have played here.

We’ve had players that have left after a year.

We’ve had players leave after two.

We’ve had players stay all four.

Each guy is on his own path.

Some things make that happen.

I’ll give you an example …

You say to Alex, Would you have left after a year if you could?

He would have said, Yeah, I would have left after a year if I could.

These kids are all on different paths.

Proud of Alex. He’s such a great kid.

The injuries and the things that he’s had to overcome,

You just root for a kid like that.

We’ve had three kids graduate in three years, Alex being one of them. 
He was Academic All-American this year so there’s a lot of good stuff that’s happened for him,

But again the injuries and the stuff held him back a little bit.

- Coach John Calipari comments on UK Senior Alex Poythress

If you’re playing against eight, it really doesn’t matter.

You’ve got a swagger like we’re gonna beat all eight of you,

It doesn’t matter.  We’re not quite there.  We started,

We started. We had a couple guys step up and play with 

Confidence.  Now we need a team full of guys to do that.

Coach John Calipari

Sullenness. He will do more in the same time …

He will do it better, he will persevere longer.

One is scarcely sensible of fatigue whilst he

Marches to music.
