The Kentucky Wildcats’ search for a point guard for the 2021-22 season continues as they have contacted a lot of players that have entered the transfer portal.
Now, there is another name that Calipari has reached out to as the crazy offseason continues.
Former Georgia Bulldogs’ point guard Sahvir Wheeler put his name in the transfer portal last week and Kentucky is one of the schools to contact him.
In an interview with KSR’s Jack Pilgrim, Wheeler opened up about Kentucky’s interest in him. Like we have seen with a lot of players that enter the transfer portal, Wheeler also declared for the NBA Draft hoping to get quality feedback from NBA teams.
Kentucky lost a key recruit Friday, as guard Nolan Hickman Jr. decommitted from the school.
Jack Pilgrim of Kentucky Sports Radio reported that Hickman s father informed the outlet of the decision.
Hickman is rated as a 4-star prospect by 247Sports, as well as the No. 29 overall player, No. 4 point guard and No. 1 player from the state of Utah in the 2021 recruiting class.
The Mount Pleasant, Utah, native starred at Wasatch Academy and was one of the Wildcats best commits before deciding against playing under head coach John Calipari at Kentucky.
Per 247Sports, Hickman was the second-ranked recruit in the 2021 class to have signed a letter of intent with Kentucky behind power forward Daimion Collins, who is ranked 10th nationally. No. 30-ranked Bryce Hopkins has signed a letter of intent as well.

This comes after the departures of Joel Justus and Tony Barbee last week. The deadline to apply for the two positions is next Monday, May 3rd. ); } return false; }); $( #comments .commentlist .comment-content a ).attr( target , blank );
