DeAndre Liggins to be inducted into Society of Character

by:Thomas Beisner•02/17/11
Only a day after Matt and Zach discussed what UK personality could win a Medal of Freedom, we get the somewhat strange news that Kentucky junior wing DeAndre Liggins will be inducted into the school's Frank G. Ham Society of Character, which honors UK student-athletes who exhibit a commitment to "academic excellence, athletic participation, personal development and serving as a role model".  Considering the way he started his career and where he stood with his coach just a year ago, it's a testament to the growth of the player who might be UK's biggest x-factor going forward.  He is one of 12 inductees but, presumably, the only one with a "God's Gift" tattoo.
