Jarrod Polson played the final 2:47 of UK’s blowout win against LSU.

As usual, he was peppered with crowd cries to shoot the ball virtually every time he touched it. I asked him if it was getting old, now that he’s played in 11 games.

“Honestly, yeah, a little bit,” Polson said after the LSU game. “It’s just, I don’t know, when you cross half court and they’re telling you to shoot. I’m just trying to do what Coach Cal(ipari) wants, run the offense.”

After all, it’s not like Polson was picked up out of nowhere. He averaged 18.2 points, 6.4 assists and 4.9 rebounds as a senior for West Jessamine High School. He’s scored six points in 21 minutes this year. Calipari called him the most talented walk-on he’s ever coached before the season, before Polson received a scholarship.

While it may be a dream to the fans to see him launch a shot from the opponent’s free-throw line, it’s not a sight coming soon to Rupp Arena.

“I don’t really know what would happen,” Polson said. “I’m sure the crowd would love it, but probably not the people on the bench.”

Especially Calipari? He wouldn’t want to see the “most talented walk-on” he’s ever coached bomb from beyond half court?

Polson laughed.

“No, I don’t think so.”
