The most significant development we have over the last 24 hours is Kentucky’s interest in Virginia Tech graduate transfer Kerry Blackshear Jr. Reports surfaced late last night that the UK coaching staff had serious interest in the Hokie power forward, with KSR confirming those reports.
Blackshear, a 6-foot-10 junior out of Orlando, FL, averaged 15 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists for Virginia Tech last season. He also finished in double figures in 28 of his 35 total games, including nine double-doubles on the year. Two of his biggest performances actually came against Duke, when the Hokie forward finished with 23 points and ten rebounds in their regular season matchup, and 18 points and 16 rebounds in their NCAA Tournament matchup.
While I don’t believe a commitment is imminent in the slightest, I can confirm that there is mutual interest and the expectation is that Kentucky will receive a visit. There is also a chance Blackshear tests the NBA Draft waters, though the expectation is that he will not receive the feedback he’s hoping for and will transfer elsewhere to play next season.

Report was the visit did in fact take place, Mr. Blackshear didn't want the info released in order to honor Richards and Montgomery's decisions!
