The former Kentucky Wildcats and Florida Gators point guard wants one more season of eligibility.

Denzel Aberdeen isnโ€™t quite ready to call it a college career. According to Pete Nakos , the Kentucky Basketball guard is entering the transfer portal in hopes of securing a fifth playing season, though he will obviously need a Hail-Mary waiver to accomplish this. Aberdeen, who spent three entire seasons at Florida, completed his fourth and seemingly final playing season at Kentucky this past season, averaging 13.

5 points (43. 3% shooting and a career-best 36. 3% from deep), 3.

4 assists, 2. 5 rebounds, and 1. 3 turnovers per game.

Heโ€™s now appeared in 119 career games since first entering the college ranks in the 2022-23 season. Maybe the waiver will be โ€˜I had to endure Mark Pope for an entire year. โ€™ Anyhoo, Kentucky isnโ€™t going to count on Aberdeen being eligible next season, but if by some miracle he secures a waiver in the next month or so, perhaps Pope and Co.
