So why should a guy who scored 40 total points and didn’t play in Kentucky’s final 19 games last season help reassure Wildcats fans after the loss of 5-star recruit Mohamed Bamba to Texas? Because that guy is 6-foot-10 former McDonald’s All-American Sacha Killeya-Jones, who could be much more than a consolation prize.

“We’ve been in the gym every day the last two weeks since he’s been home,” said Gilbert Abraham, a North Carolina-based personal trainer who worked with Killeya-Jones since he was in ninth grade. “He’s focused, he’s driven, he understands what he has to do now and he has a plan. I’m really excited for him.”

That great news! I'm really happy for him and I think it will be a great story if he can contribute on this new team.

I honestly thought he could have helped us last season. He was young but the minutes he got early in the season were pretty productive. I think he is an extremely talented young man and am happy he is staying with us at UK.
