It’s the first visit of any kind Wright has taken since entering the portal.

Some thought he would skip taking visits and just go to the highest bidder/best fit, so getting him on campus is a major development for Kentucky. Oh, and this will happen as the Wildcats host top-ranked recruit Tyran Stokes for a visit starting Sunday night, so it appears they’re working to land both of these high-level players to form the core of next season’s roster. The 6-1, 183-pound guard averaged 18.

1 points, 4. 6 assists, and 3. 5 rebounds across 34.

8 minutes per game this season. He shot 46. 7% from the field and 41% from 3-point range on four attempts per outing.
