Denzel Aberdeen, seemingly out of eligibility, enters NCAA Transfer Portal

Denzel Aberdeen isn’t quite ready to call it a college career. According to Pete Nakos, the Kentucky Basketball guard is entering the transfer portal in hopes of securing a fifth playing season, though he will obviously need a Hail-Mary waiver to accomplish this.

Aberdeen, who spent three entire seasons at Florida, completed his fourth and seemingly final playing season at Kentucky this past season, averaging 13.5 points (43.3% shooting and a career-best 36.3% from deep), 3.4 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.3 turnovers per game. He’s now appeared in 119 career games since first entering the college ranks in the 2022-23 season.

Maybe the waiver will be ‘I had to endure Mark Pope for an entire year.’

Anyhoo, Kentucky isn’t going to count on Aberdeen being eligible next season, but if by some miracle he secures a waiver in the next month or so, perhaps Pope and Co. would consider a reunion, especially if they sign an injury-prone point guard like Dedan Thomas Jr.

What a way to kick off the transfer portal season!
