The big one, of course, is Kerry Blackshear Jr. from Virginia Tech. Kentucky has inquired about Blackshear ever since he opted to throw his name in the transfer portal over a month ago, and most people seem to think that Kentucky is the leader to land him.

However, Blackshear must opt to return to college before Kentucky can have a chance at landing him. KBJ is participating in the Professional Basketball Combine, which I wrote about and you can read all about here. After not getting an invite to either the NBA combine or the G-League combine, Blackshear was invited to the Pro Basketball Combine, along with 23 other players, in hopes of getting a two-way NBA contract.

While not getting an invite to either the NBA or G-League combine normally gives a kid a good indication that they need to return to school, I actually think that KBJ is just tired of playing college ball and wants to move on.

He may be tired of playing at VT, but he needs to experience what it is like to wear Kentucky blue and play in Rupp!

Playing at UK will make him better!

We could sure use Blackshear. He looks to be the only body left out there that could help us.
