Now that everyone in college basketball can freely transfer one time, the transfer portal is exploding with multiple impact players entering it every day.
As that occurs, the Kentucky Wildcats keep finding new potential targets each day. One of the earliest transfers Kentucky reached out to once the offseason began was Western Carolina grad transfer Mason Faulkner.
However, Faulkner is now off the board, as he just committed to the Colorado Buffaloes.
A Glasgow (KY) native, Faulkner was an All-Southern Conference Third Team selection after averaging 16.3 points, 5.5 rebound and 4.8 assists per game this past season. He scored in double-figures 19 times, including eight 20+ point outings.

Evan Battey and
Eli Parquet – and nine underclassmen at this moment for the 2021-22 campaign. Faulkner joins a 2021 signing class that already ranks No. 13 in the nation, and tops in the Pac-12, according to 247Sports.com.
