Kentucky vs. Georgia final injury report includes Maxwell Hairston uncertain to play
The final injury report is in as the Kentucky Wildcats wrap up their preparation for tomorrow’s matchup with the Georgia Bulldogs at Kroger Field.
It has been an eventful week for the Cats, who look to bounce back from their loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks last week. Well, they will now have to officially do it fairly shorthanded.
Tonight, the final injury report was released, and several key players remain in the report.
Still listed in a questionable status are Maxwell Hairston and Gerald Mincey, while Brock Vandagriff and Keshawn Silver are listed as probable. Alongside those two, the Cats will officially be without Jager Burton and Jason Patterson.
Losing Hairston would be a crippling loss for a secondary that’s already a major question mark, so hopefully he’s able to go. Hairston is arguably the second-best player on the roster behind Deone Walker.
The Georgia Bulldogs will officially be without three defensive linemen: Mykel Williams, Jordan Hall, and Warren Brinson.
Should be a fun night at Kroger Field. Let’s see if the Cats can pull off the upset.

Every Kentucky State University player drafted by the Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets have developed their teams through a number of strategies over the decades, and their front office has put together considerable success through the NBA draft. Many of the franchise’s best players have joined the Nets either by being selected directly in the annual draft or through trades made on that day.
Moreover, it is not only the star players who have been acquired by the Nets through the draft. Several prominent alumni have been selected by the team each offseason during this annual event, with certain colleges being more prominently represented than others. An analysis of the players from different schools reveals that both prestigious programs and smaller institutions have contributed top talent to the Nets’ roster over the years.
So without further ado, let’s take a look at every player who has been drafted by the Nets out of Kentucky State University.
