Enes Kanter Quotes from around the day

It's all over.  UK and the Big Blue Nation will have to move on without Enes Kanter.  I will proudly continue to wear my " Free Enes T-Shirt" for the remainder of this season.  Below is a collections from various important figures around UK , as well as others from the media :

John Calipari :

Dr. Lee Todd :
      “I’m very disappointed in what appears to me to be an inconsistent decision that leaves an outstanding young man without any recourse.

Mitch Barnhardt :
