KAT shows why he is such a great kid--

[Rhavic]

After the game today, KAT gave a souvenir to a fan. That would be the short version. The longer version is that after the game, KAT came out of the locker room, made his way through all of the media that were hanging around the area to talk, and he gave his sneakers to a wheelchair-bound kid (Who was paralyzed by a car accident when he was younger), who had made his way to the Kentucky game from Pennsylvania.
I love having kids like this around. What a guy; his parents should be proud of the kid of kid he is, and the fans should be proud to have a person like Karl on the team here.

I don't think UK has ever had a better kid play for them than KAT. His parents should be so very proud and I'm sure they are.

Great kid. KAT and Nerlens should get together for a charitable event.

I look so forward to watching what a WHOLE LOT of Cal's' players do in life. He is bringing some serious high quality through UK. It should be the joy and honor to count these kids Cats.

Another great example of the quality kids that Cal gets. Thanks KAT for setting such a fine example both on and off the court.

Having the best players also be great kids is a wonderful feeling. I'm very proud of these young men.

The Kentucky way. This kid gets it.

Awesome, awesome story. Just can't say enough good things about KAT. Really gonna miss him whenever he goes.

 

[Chuckinden]

Not just KAT, but this whole team seems to have great character.

What an amazingly nice gesture. KAT is an absolute class act. I think he has officially made on my list of all-time UK favorites surpassing even Anthony Davis.

God bless you, KAT! You truly are a good kid! I think I will miss him the most after this year.

 

[bigbluelou]

Bet the kid won't even spray Lysol or anything in those shoes. Just sit there and soak up the Big Blue bouquet.

KAT is a a special dude. I watched other stories on him and it's just the kind of guy he is. I really wish he would be around another year....
