Kentucky added a shooting guard to its roster next season as Iowa transfer CJ Fredrick committed to the Wildcats.
Fredrick entered the NCAA transfer portal two weeks ago and was considered a target for Kentucky, since he played his prep career at Covington Catholic, where he led the Colonels to a state title three years ago.
“I am very excited for this new opportunity in my basketball career,” Fredrick said. “I really appreciate the confidence Coach Cal has in me. I am looking forward to going to work and developing as a player with Coach Cal, the staff and my future teammates. … I cannot wait to get back on the floor at Rupp Arena to help this team win and make Big Blue Nation proud.”
Calipari welcomed Fredrick, a 6-foot-3 guard to the program. “CJ Fredrick is an established college player from a terrific program who has competed at the highest level and has made big shots and big plays,” Calipari said. “As we all know, CJ is a terrific shooter, but what stuck out on tape is he takes care of the ball – he has an excellent assist-to-turnover ratio – and he can hold his own defensively. He guarded the best guard on the other team in just about everything I have seen.”
While with the Hawkeyes, Fredrick made 83 3-pointers during his career and averaged 8.8 points per game during his three seasons at Iowa.
