UPDATE 10/21: Katina Powell said on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” that she did have sex with former Louisville player Terrence Williams, who has denied that he paid for sex. “I sure did,” she told ESPN’s John Barr. “I had sex with him once. He paid me $500.” ***
At least one former Louisville player has come out to aggressively deny Katina Powell’s allegations — and in a big way.
Terrence Williams says he never paid for sex while at Louisville, despite allegations in Powell’s book — “Breaking Cardinal Rules” — that he paid $500 for sex with two women.
“I am not a part of that,” he told TMZ. “To Louisville I am f**king Elvis Presley. So why would I pay anybody for anything?
“Motherf**kers pay me for pictures and handshakes. And that’s not being cocky, ’cause I don’t play around with my blessing. I’m very honored to be in that position in Louisville. Louisville is the greatest city, the fans are great, Rick Pitino is great.”

T.J. Leaf is down to three schools in his recruitment.
Ranked the No. 5 power forward in the Class of 2016 by 247Sports.com, Leaf said he’s now considering Oregon, UCLA and San Diego State. Louisville and North Carolina are no longer under consideration.
“Yes,” he said by text.
As for his Oregon official this past weekend, he enjoyed it quite a bit.
“All I’m gonna say is, it couldn’t have gone better for me,” he said.
With Kentucky holding its second annual NBA Combine Sunday and Monday, all 30 NBA teams are on hand to watch the 2015-16 version of the Wildcats.
A veteran NBA scout broke down their top prospects for SNY.tv, saying he considered freshmen Skal Labissiere, Jamal Murray and Isaac Humphries the team’s three best pro prospects..
Skal Labissiere, 6-11 Fr. C (Draft Express, No. 1, 2016)
“Skill is an athletic big that can make open shots. He needs to develop a low-post game and learn to play through contact.”
Jamal Murray, 6-4 Fr. G (Draft Express, No. 6, 2016)
“Murray will be an elite scorer at the college level, but he has to commit to the defensive end of the floor.”
For the second time in a week, Kentucky will watch Elizabeth (N.J.) St. Patrick 2017 big man Nick Richards in an open gym.
Head coach John Calipari is expected to see the 6-foot-11 Richards on Tuesday, St. Pat’s coach Chris Chavannes said. Assistant Tony Barbee was in last Wednesday.
Kentucky has had great success recruiting New Jersey in recent years, landing current freshman guard Isaiah Briscoe out of Roselle (N.J.) Catholic and big men Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (St. Pat’s) and Dakari Johnson (St. Pat’s/Montverde Academy). Both Kidd-Gilchrist and Johnson are currently in the NBA.
