As a result, the 5-foot-10 freshman is expected to miss “a couple weeks,” a timeline that could put him back in the lineup in time for Kentucky’s season-opener against Louisiana Monroe on September 4.
Crowdus came to Kentucky as a four-star recruit out of Frederick Douglass High School in Lexington, KY. He originally signed with UK over offers from Auburn, Baylor, Florida State, Louisville, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Tennessee and Texas, among others.
