LEXINGTON, Ky. — For college basketball, these days the offseason is the big season, the time when players come and go, when rosters need either an “Under Construction” or “Pardon Our Mess” sign. Or both.
Take the Kentucky Wildcats. After a so-so 22-12 season ended with that second-round NCAA Tournament loss to Kansas State, Kentucky basketball news has experienced the drip-drip-drip of what they used to list under “transactions” on the agate page.
Sahvir Wheeler entered the transfer portal. Cason Wallace and Jacob Toppin entered the NBA draft. Chris Livingston, Antonio Reeves and Oscar Tshiebwe entered the NBA draft while retaining the option to play college basketball next season. Somewhere. Ugonna Onyenso entered the transfer portal before removing his name a week later.
