"I said a year ago that Jarrod was the most talented walk-on I had ever coached and I still believe that, so much so that he earned a scholarship both seasons. Jarrod is a great teammate, he possesses quickness and he's a hard worker. I feel comfortable putting him in games, and we'll need him this year to shore up our depth."
-- Head coach John Calipari
