Allen Graves says Kentucky Basketball contacted him
Graves is expected to stay in the draft, but if he does withdraw, the sharpshooter could end up with another SEC team.
ST LOUIS, MISSOURI - MARCH 20: Allen Graves #22 of the Santa Clara Broncos shoots the ball against Brandon Garrison #10 of the Kentucky Wildcats during the first half in the first round of the 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at Enterprise Center on March 20, 2026 in St Louis, Missouri.

However, they apparently tried to get in the mix for Santa Clara forward Allen Graves, but it doesn’t sound like that went anywhere.
According to ESPN’s Jeff Borzello, Kentucky made contact with Graves’ agents, but he’s only considering Duke and LSU for the time being. And that’s if Graves even returns to school, as he’s continued to make it clear he prefers to stay in the NBA Draft. The 6-foot-9, 225-pound Los Angeles native averaged 11.
8 points (41. 3% shooter from deep), 6. 5 rebounds, 1.
9 steals, and 1. 8 assists across 22. 6 minutes per game for the Broncos.
