It's not a joke..it's a serious test for Caracter. If he can pay for his school and stay in shape own his own he deserves to be back on the team. We'll see what happens.

Look im a UK fan but im also someone who loves to see kids succeed. This kid though has spit on each and every chance he has gotten. He has a million dollar talent but a 10 cent head. I hope the best for him but i sincerly doubt he will do what he needs to do to get back...

I think we are missing the whole point that once again Pitino doesn't stick to his guns! He wasn't ever leaving U of K and He did! He had his dream job not once but twice in his quotes. He has said repeatedly that Caracter is not welcomed back-- he is not coming back--he has no spot on the team--- there is no room for him in their program and guess what? He's getting another chance. Give me a break--don't say things you are gonna regret!

I love DC!and i think everyone has a right to another chance. He obviously is a good player and good person at that so I think he should have the chance to shine and succeed.

Well according to a lil birdie,all the trouble he got in was because of his girlfriend,they are separated now an I think he knows if he wants to go pro,playing under Pitino is his best shot.

DC should be given one more chance to succeed with this team...If he screws up once, kick him off...He's a force in the post, and could probably make everyone better. UNC would have trouble with him, Clark, and Samuels...The size is overpowering if DC doesn't get into foul trouble...
