The Kentucky basketball roster received positive news with the addition of Amari Williams from Drexel.
Williams, a 6-foot-10 forward, averaged 12.2 points and 7.8 rebounds last year at Drexel and was named the Coastal Athletic Association Defensive Player of the Year along with being a CAA first-team all-conference selection.
Williams considered schools such as Mississippi State and St. John’s before transferring to Kentucky for his final college basketball season.
Williams became the first upperclassman on Kentucky’s 2024-25 roster after John Calipari left Kentucky for Arkansas and sent shockwaves throughout college basketball.
The move also sent all of the Kentucky basketball players with eligibility into the college basketball transfer portal.
Mark Pope, who spent three years as a player at Kentucky, took over as head coach after coaching the last five years at BYU.
Who else is Kentucky targeting in the transfer portal and which players can Wildcats fans hope to see in uniform next season?
