Mandatory Credit: James Snook-Imagn Images | James Snook-Imagn Images Could the Kentucky Basketball team soon add another player to the roster? Jerone Morton, the Kentucky native who played at Washington State last season, wrapped up his visit with Kentucky, and now we wait to see if he’ll be a Wildcat next season.
Indications are that Morton had a good visit to Kentucky, but we’ll see if Kentucky can seal the deal. The 6’4 guard averaged 7. 8 points and 2.
6 assists at Washington State last season. Most notably, though, he shot nearly 39 percent from three on 2. 5 attempts per game.
Morton played at George Rogers Clark High School and was named Most Valuable Player of the KHSAA Sweet 16. There’s no timeline yet for a decision for Morton, so this’ll be one to keep an eye on. Meanwhile, several former Kentucky Football players are looking to make the leap to the NFL.
