A former Kentucky recruit is going back into the transfer portal
The transfer portal is heating up, and a former highly ranked Kentucky Wildcats recruit is re-entering.
It's a wild time in the college basketball offseason, with the Final Four set to be played over the weekend, and the opening of the transfer portal on Tuesday, Apr. 7. As the portal date gets closer, more and more names are set to enter, looking for new homes in 2026.
Once such player is a name Kentucky Wildcat s fans are familiar with, Karter Knox . Knox was set to be a member of Kentucky's 2024 recruiting class under John Calipari. He was a top 25 player, rated four stars by 247Sports, and along with Jayden Quaintance, Boogie Fland, Billy Richmond, and Somto Cyril made up an elite class.
However, Calipari bolted for Arkansas , and Knox, along with the rest, decommitted. Calipari would wind up landing Knox, and he started 24 games as a freshman at Arkansas. He was an integral part of their success, but year two saw his playing time drop.
Last year, he averaged 8. 1 points and 4. 5 rebounds per game in 22 minutes of action.
