A source on campus told us that Jarred Vanderbilt was on campus wearing a boot on his foot and using a scooter. He was not applying any pressure to his injured foot.

Speculation has been swirling that Vanderbilt was going to be having surgery to repair the lingering injury that kept him out of post season play.

It appears likely that Vanderbilt did complete surgery based on the need to completely immobilize the foot. That, or he’s been having issues with it lately. Either way, it’s an unfortunate setback to a player that has worked his butt off to be where he is.

This is interesting timing considering Jared just announced his intent to enter the NBA draft on Friday. It seems very unlikely he will be able to participate in the combine. He has not hired an agent, leaving his ability to return to UK as an option.

Stay tuned for updates…
